Integrics are pleased to announce version 4.1 of Enswitch, the most feature-rich, most powerful, and most flexible solution for commercial telephony services such as multi-tenant hosted PBX, residential ITSP, toll-free, and number translation services.

Enswitch provides full-featured telephony, billing, invoicing, a full and highly configurable web interface for the system owner, resellers, and customers, and a comprehensive API - all in a single highly scalable and highly integrated solution. It's in production today with carriers worldwide on systems from hundreds of users on single machines to over 200,000 users on large redundant clusters. It's also increasingly used as a highly scalable PBX for those who need a system distributed across many locations, or who need to bill departments or users.

More information, including a full list of features and a working demo of the web interface, is at https://enswitch.com/
