Just a couple of ways in which v6 could benefit you
How much do you pay for call conferencing? Some external companies charge up to £1 a minute depending on how many participants there are and where they are located. With v6 you can run your own conferences both internally and with customers.
With the addition of Windows 2008 Server support, you can now run your 3CX installation on a virtual server which means, lower administration costs, lower power consumption and no need for a dedicated machine. All this means that your TCO for running 3CX is reduced even more compared to the competition!
We're sure that as you use v6 you will benefit more and more from the great features of 3CX.
