The full form of 3CX is Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate.

3CX is an open standard, software-based phone system based on the SIP standard. It works with a range of phone hardware and also features web browser-based extensions and mobile apps. A major advantage is the software itself can be hosted on a remote server, on-premise (on a local server) or both for extra resilience. It is often regarded as a great IP PBX for small and growing businesses due to its cost efficiency and flexibility.

3CX is relatively new to the telephony world being founded in 2005 by Nick Galea as compared to Asterisk in 1999, pbxnsip in 2001, and Objectworld’s UC Server product in 2001. Nick is a seasoned software entrepreneur having started several other well-established companies including 2X (thin client software) and Acunetix (web security).

Founded in 2005, when VOIP was an emerging technology, 3CX has gone on to establish itself as a global leader in business communications. Taking advantage of the SIP open-standard and WebRTC technology, 3CX has evolved from its roots as a PBX phone system to a complete communications platform, offering customers a simple, flexible, and affordable solution to call, video and live chat. With 3CX businesses can increase productivity, enhance customer experiences, while dramatically cutting costs and management headaches.

3CX was born out of a simple need for a new phone system that was reliable, feature rich and didn’t cost the earth. Fast forward to today and we’re the fastest growing communications solution in the market. With a shared background in VOIP, communications and delivering world-class SaaS solutions, our leaders are driving the future of communications.

3CX operates at a global level with offices across Europe, the US, Mexico, Dubai and Australia, and an extensive partner network spanning all continents. We’re always on the lookout for ways to support our local communities, and in 2019, we were recognized by Invest Cyprus for our continued investment in the Cypriot economy and support for local organizations.
