3CX releases a Whitepaper explaining
the benefits of a windows based phone system over a Linux based
appliance or “VoIP enabled” proprietary PBX
London, UK, 21 May 2009 - Companies
planning to take advantage of cost savings and productivity increases
achieved by using VoIP face a difficult decision what PBX solution
to choose. Amongst the options are a Windows based software solution,
a Linux based black box style appliance or a “VoIP enabled” proprietary
PBX. The whitepaper released today by 3CX titled ‘The top 10 advantages
of a Windows based PBX’ details the key benefits
of a Windows phone system and explains why customers should shy
away from yet another black box solution.
“A Windows
based PBX solution is by far the best choice for any company
that relies on Windows networks & servers. Hiding the complexity
of a Linux based PBX solution in a dedicated appliance or Linux
distribution is only a short term solution that will result in
a much higher TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) over time. Furthermore,
companies will not be able to take full advantage of VoIP and Unified communications
because integration possibilities with existing Windows applications
will be limited”, said Nick Galea, 3CX.
“VoIP enabled” proprietary PBXs
provide only limited VoIP support and because in most cases they
do not adhere to the open SIP standard, customers will
be limited in choice of phones, VoIP services
and gateway
hardware and will not be able to get the full benefit of the VoIP
‘revolution’.
