3CX’s Reseller Updates Webinar Q&A Session

Q 1: Is there any news on SMS/MMS?

A: In about 2-3 weeks, we will have some updates on that.

Q 2: Are there any changes to the qualifications as a partner?

A: Yes. Last year, your sales number was measured every quarter, this year, instead of reviewing every quarter, we are going to review your performance every 6 months. Starting in 2019, you will keep your status for 6 months and be promoted or demoted after that time period. The promotion will happen anytime during the 6 months when you reach the partner level goal, but the demotion will only be at the end of the 6 months period.

Q 3: Will we need to recertify on the version 16?

A: Yes, we do need recertification on version 16 to keep people up-to-date.

Q 4: Have there been any upgrades on the Call Center app?

A: Yes, we put in a lot of new features to the web application such as call routing. There are a lot of updates but nothing has been published on our website yet.

Q 5: Is there an estimated time to market for v16? When can we sell it to the customers?

A: December 2019.

Q 6: Where can we download the slides?

A: You can download the presentation deck here.
