3CX Partner
Prompt Critical Solutions (PCS) has been using 3CX for Voice Over IP (VoIP) solutions ever since the company was founded in 2016 (even before if we are being fully transparent). As is the case with many solutions, one starts off simply using a product. Then, once you are sufficiently happy with it, you start promoting it more. And, when presented an opportunity... team up with them as a partner. That evolution and partnership between PCS and 3CX started early on. In fact, PCS has been a 3CX partner since 2018. As with most partnerships, there is a tiering status and 3CX is no exception. Over the years, the partnership levels for 3CX have evolved. With this latest evolution, PCS is now recognized as a Bronze level partner.
There's a plethora of reasons I could go into as to why PCS has chosen to use 3CX as our VoIP solution of choice. However, if you just want to take our word for it and start a trial of your own, feel free to use our Referral Link to download a fully equipped 3CX System today!
