essilorLONDON, UK, 6TH NOVEMBER 20183CX, developer of the next-generation software-based Unified Communications system, today announces the successful deployment of its innovative software PBX solution at the Benelux headquarters of Essilor Group. Essilor has specialized in visual health for over 170 years and is now the world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of ophthalmic equipment and lenses.

Being a global company, Essilor needed a UC solution that would not only provide the features and reliability they need to efficiently communicate with colleagues and partners around the world, but that would also enable a more mobile workforce. Having grown out of their previous Alcatel system, and facing high running and maintenance costs, Essilor decided it was time for a change. In looking for the features that would benefit their company, and to increase employee mobility, Network Telecommunications Manager Antoon Makay evaluated various systems and decided that 3CX was the best fit for them.

“3CX is a flexible VoIP solution which gives our organization a big advantage on our competition. Our employees now have the ability to carry out location independent work, boosting productivity and increasing the possibilities when it comes to the growth of the company.” - Antoon Makay, Network Telecommunications Manager for Essilor Benelux

Essilor saw significant improvements in overall mobility and employee productivity and feels that the new communications system has given them a competitive edge over other big names in the industry. The deployment was carried out by 3CX partner Kerkhoven Automatisering without the need to stop or disrupt any services, and seamlessly provisioned 300 Yealink IP Phones and 3CX softphone apps.
