LONDON, UK, 18 MARCH, 2016 – 3CX, developer of next generation software-based PBX 3CX Phone System has enabled two sister companies to have seamless joint communications.
Inelco Hunter Ltd. (IHL) is a specialist value-added UK electronics distributor, offering a broad range of electronic components, displays, printers, fans, electrostatic discharge protection and other solutions from world class manufacturers.
IHL wanted to upgrade from its legacy communications system. The company was using analogue phones with an old Avaya IP PBX. Calls were getting lost. And there was no means to take advantage of Internet communications. IHL also wanted to unify its communications with its sister company, Electronic Frontier Ltd. (both companies are part of the UK-based Arcum Group). Electronic Frontier is a 16-year old distributor of communications and security technology, which specializes in cutting-edge Internet-based solutions.
There was a clear need to bridge the two PBXs at the sister companies, so that there would be seamless call transfers, vision of online presence, instant chat, etc. Electronic Frontier uses 3CX Phone System, for which it is the distributor in the UK, and it naturally chose to implement 3CX's award-winning technology for Inelco.
“Installation was easy and intuitive. And we got all of the functionalities we needed,” Electronic Frontier telecommunications manager Nick Gallafent commented.
The 3CX Bridging feature connected communications at both companies quickly and easily, The two bridged systems provided all the functions that IHL was looking for.
Calls can be made via the Net from either office, or from home or abroad - always at the lowest possible cost. Each worker can call or be reached on a single extension that is the same at any location.
3CX brings Unified Communications together for each user, making it easy for workers at both companies to interact for free. It’s even possible, with WebRTC, for a worker to host and manage video conference calls, online meetings and screen sharing among multiple offices at no additional cost.
The two companies now have a true ‘sister act,’ with seamless unified communications.
