Fully localized 3CX Phone System targets a significant share of the Japanese VoIP PBX market
LONDON and TOKYO, 16 APRIL 2013 – 3CX, developer of the award-winning Windows VoIP PBX 3CX Phone System, today announced a new office in Tokyo to build market share in one of Asia’s largest markets. 3CX’s commitment to Japan includes the provision of localized product and documentation: a Japanese-language website, Japanese-language functionality in the 3CX IVR, and full support for Japanese VoIP providers, making 3CX Phone System the country’s best-supported localized VoIP PBX. The 3CX Tokyo office will empower, support and encourage 3CX Partners and Distributors throughout the country with regular training events and marketing campaigns.
The presence of 3CX in Japan enables the company to deliver its best of breed Windows VoIP PBX to a marketplace where millions of people make VoIP calls, but where most businesses aren’t leveraging the efficiency and overall cost reduction a VoIP PBX such as 3CX Phone System provides. Although broadband is available throughout Japan, many companies and organisations are still using outdated hardware phone systems. By becoming a key provider of VoIP PBX solutions to Japanese corporations and institutions, 3CX plans to replicate the success of 3CX Phone System in Europe and North America. The company’s new Tokyo office will help 3CX more deeply integrate with its Japanese partners and distributors, who will be able to leverage the company’s complete sales and technical support to pursue the opportunities in the Japanese VoIP PBX marketplace.
3CX has offices in some of the world’s key high-density economies, including Germany, Hong Kong, Russia, the UK and the USA. 3CX Japan is the company’s second major foothold in the Far East, after Hong Kong, and represents a key component of the company’s strategy of building market share in each of the world’s largest economies. 3CX also continues to bolster its presence in emerging markets, including South Africa and Poland, where the company recently opened an office in Warsaw. Recent wins for 3CX Phone System include Harley Davidson, Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts and Toshiba.

“According to The Economist, more than 99 percent of all businesses in Japan are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – as 3CX Phone System is the best VoIP PBX solution for SMEs, Japan is incredibly fertile ground for 3CX Phone System, so our key objective right now is to bring more partners and resellers onboard in the country. Our team in Tokyo will provide our current and new Japanese partners and distributors with the technical training and marketing support they need to help 3CX increase its market share in Japan. We are looking forward to working closely with all of them.”
