Software Drives UC

by Gary Audin Not every UC solution should be in the cloud. For branch offices and smaller businesses, the UC solution may have to be on premises to satisfy compliance and regulatory requirements. If you select to be on premises, then you should consider a WINDOW’s based system that can easily operate on your present infrastructure. Kyle Asbury, Sales Manager for North America at 3CX www.3cx.com and Gary Audin recorded this podcast at the Microsoft Ignite conference. Kyle covers their software release V15, the latest in their yearly improvements. This software can also work on very small platforms supporting 32 calls. He discusses the other end of the business spectrum covering the release of their Enterprise edition which can be on premises or in the cloud. 3CX www.3cx.com is an open standard Unified Communications platform for Windows that works with standard SIP phones and replaces any proprietary PBX. 3CX Phone System is more manageable than standard PBX systems and delivers substantial cost savings while increasing productivity.
