The Business Case for ShoreTel VoIP
(Voice over Internet Protocol)

In today’s challenging business environment CEOs & CFOs want to capture revenue and hold down costs more than ever. If a product or service cannot demonstrate a solid business case for either, it has little chance to succeed. ShoreTel’s VoIP Telephony solution hits the mark in both areas.

ShoreTel leads the way in revolutionizing voice communication. They have built an IP phone solution from the ground up that provides the highest level of voice quality and functionality while reducing costs, simplifying infrastructure, consolidating operations and combining business processes.

Please join us January 27th and 28th (register) to discover the advantages of ShoreTel’s brilliantly simple IP Phone solution. We will be joined by Megan Lukitsch from ShoreTel Corporate and Sara Grafals from Infineon Raceway as we discuss the true business value of ShoreTel VoIP.

1,393 IT Decision Makers Have Spoken: At VoiceCon, the 2009 Nemertes Report results were announced and ShoreTel, the leading provider of brilliantly simple IP phone systems, took top honors against the likes of Cisco and Avaya. Again! For the 6th Time in a row!

According to the Nemertes report, ShoreTel "has created a solid customer experience. ShoreTel has scored at the top in every ratings category since Nemertes began tracking IP-telephony vendor performance six years ago. This year is no different as ShoreTel won every ratings category. ShoreTel's key driver continues to be its value, with a 4.31 rating. Customers routinely praise their purchases of ShoreTel gear as providing an exceptional set of features and a highly resilient architecture at both lower upfront and ongoing costs than its competitors. Its distributed architecture provides for redundancy at an affordable price."
