3CX Phone System Version 14 Service Pack 1 Released
3CX have released Service Pack 1, which has added a raft of features. BLF fields are now included in the 3CX for Windows Softphone making call transfers easier to commonly called numbers or extensions. Another significant change with the 3CX for Windows Softphone is that you can define that your status will automatically switch back to the previous status after a pre-set time, so if you are having a lunch break and you change your status, it will go back to being available after a set point of time. You can also start a 3CX WebMeeting instance with a single click instead of having to schedule it to start. This service pack also removes the need to have split DNS set up. You can read more about the new features at: http://www.3cx.com/blog/releases/service-pack-1-v14/ , and an update is now available within the 3CX v14 console to update to the new service pack.
Spark SIP Compatibility with 3CX
We have just completed testing for 3CX Version 14 Service Pack 1 with Spark SIP and can confirm that this now works with this version. Note that 3CX Phone System Version 12.5 SP2 and Version 14 Pre SP1 do not work with Spark SIP. If you require an updated configuration guide, please e-mail voip and we will send you the latest version.

3CX Revamps Partner Program to Reward Partner Loyalty
3CX have implemented changes within their current partner program to further reward partners who sell 3CX products such as 3CX Phone System and 3CX WebMeeting. The restructuring of the program includes new partner levels as well as a new points system. The 3CX Partner Program provides partners with all the tools required to be able to sell 3CX for free including NFR licenses, support marketing and sales material plus listing on the 3CX website. The new points system aims at rewarding partners who are certified and trained and who also show loyalty to the company with repeated sales. The new program doesn’t only reflect sales volume, but also the effort and commitment a 3CX Partner shows towards 3CX. You can read up on the new partner program at: 3cx.com/partners/program.
