VoIP PBX developer, 3CX, has announced an Enterprise edition of its free Windows-based IP PBX. Based on the open SIP standard the Enterprise edition of 3CX Phone System is priced at US$1250.
The announcement brings the number of 3CX Phone System for Windows versions to four: The Small Business Edition (US$350) supports up to 25 extensions and 16 simultaneous calls, while the Pro edition (US$895) supports an unlimited number of extensions and 32 callers.

The Enterprise edition is unlimmited and includes advanced features such as Exchange 2007 integration and Call Queuing.

A free version which has some feature restrictions supports unlimited extensions and only 8 simultaneous calls. Look here to compare versions and current pricing.

The Call Queuing feature in the new Enterprise edition allows companies to hold callers in a queue callcenterwise. Agents are able to login and logout to queues from Windows seeing the exact number of callers in the queue.

The Exchange 2007 integration feature allows 3CX Phone System to use the Unified Messaging Server in Exchange Server 2007 as the voice mail server. This way, users can connect to their Exchange Server to listen to their calendar, have Exchange read out mails and receive their voice mail in their email inbox.

"The release of 3CX Phone System Enterprise edition is set to accelerate the massive change occurring in the Enterprise Telephony market space," said Nick Galea, 3CX CEO.

"With 3CX Phone System Enterprise Edition, advanced features such as Call Queuing can now be obtained for a fraction of the price of traditional Enterprise PBXs. What's more, advanced features such as integration with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 unified messaging are not even available on today's proprietary PBXs," he said.
