Compatibility and Ease of Implementation<\/h2>\n

Compatible hardware includes end points ranging from the Cisco 5XX\u2019s series, and all Polycom IPXXX Phones.\u00a0 3CX supports a number of SIP Trunking providers<\/a>, and some of the more prominent Gateway and PCI card manufacturers such as Patton and Sangoma.\u00a0 With 3CX, administrators make configuration changes through an easy to understand web based console which allows them to easily monitor and make changes to the phone system on the fly.<\/p>\n

3CX Assistant<\/h2>\n

The 3CX assistant is a desktop utility that will allow users of the system to view the phone status of all users on your PBX.\u00a0 This allows you to make decisions about what to do with your call (transfer, send to voicemail, park, etc) without having to put a customer or prospect on hold and potentially miss manage an opportunity to give the best experience to your clients.\u00a0 In addition to the obvious benefit of a single interface to manage these functions can also integrate your outlook contacts into your 3CX assistant; this feature will allow you to take advantage of click-to-call.<\/p>\n
