With an intelligent ShoreTel phone system, every worker - including IT staff, knowledge workers - can dramatically improve day-to-day productivity. By enhancing internal and external communications, firms can do a superior job satisfying customers and winning new business. In short, companies can more fully reach their potential.

While competitors modified cumbersome legacy technology or patched together an array of products from different acquisitions to form their telephony products, ShoreTel started from a clean slate. As a result, ShoreTel SmartT systems are remarkably simple, yet have all the features and reliability expected from a technologically advanced IP telephony solution:

• Distributed intelligence
  With no single point of failure and embedded hardware platforms, ShoreTel systems are extremely reliable. In the unlikely event of a failure, the other ShoreTel devices will continue to operate. They can even assume the functions of the failed device, without affecting the rest of the phone system.
  
  
• Single management interface
  A single-view interface means users spend very little effort managing this streamlined system. And because ShoreTel technology requires almost no staff training or support, it saves both time and money.
  
  
• Application-rich
  From converged conferencing to unified messaging, distributed customer care to seamless telecommuting, ShoreTel systems let users choose from more than 400 features they can customize with point-and-click simplicity.
  
  
• Easy to use
  With a perceptive design and plug-and-play implementation, ShoreTel systems live up to their reputation as the industry's easiest solutions to deploy and use. ShoreTel systems remain flexible, so if companies want to change locations, employees can just pick up their phones and move. The minute the phones are reconnected, ShoreTel Smart systems know who users are and the features they want - automatically.
  
  
• Exceptional customer service
  The company has a six-year track record of outstanding customer satisfaction and financial stability. Our network of dedicated partners provides responsive support to hundreds of successful enterprises.

• Simple expansion capability
  Standalone or integrated solutions easily expand up or down, automatically seeking and enabling new locations. Users' in-house IT experts can add phones, change extensions, alter voice mail and reconfigure options without help. And if they need a hand, ShoreTel's knowledgeable network of partners can aid in installing new systems and enabling branch offices.
