3CX has acquired Askozia, a Germany-based provider of the Asterisk-based IP telephone system AskoziaPBX.
Askozia was founded in 2013 and has more than 10,000 businesses using its solutions. The company evolved from a student project into an organisation known for developing Linux technology.
3CX saw the technical skills of the Askozia team as an opportunity to both expand its market position in Germany and also integrate Askozia's skills and technology into its own product.
All Askozia customers will be offered a free 3CX license and Askozia partners will be onboarded as 3CX Partners.
Nick Galea, CEO of 3CX, said: "This acquisition sets another milestone for 3CX Germany. Askozia has a skilled team of handpicked individuals and along with the Linux technology that will now be integrated into our own product we expect rapid growth within the German market."
Sebastian Kaiser, CEO of Askozia, added: "This acquisition enables us to contribute to the expansion of a big market player and developer of software-based communications technology."
