ShoreTel Adds 400 Series IP Phones to Line-Up, Bringing Unique Features and Optimal Usability

Building on its line of brilliantly simple IP phones, ShoreTel® (http://www.shoretel.com/) (NASDAQ: SHOR), the leading provider of unified communications (UC) systems (http://www.shoretel.com/solutions/unified_communications/benefits), including business phone systems (http://www.shoretelsky.com/products/), applications and mobile UC solutions (http://www.shoretel.com/solutions/enterprise_mobility), today launched the ShoreTel 400 series IP phones.  This line includes four new IP phone models that expand the ShoreTel portfolio to deliver new functionality and enhanced usability, including visual voicemail, an advanced user interface, and built-in diagnostics.

ShoreTel is the only UC provider to offer a choice of communication solutions and endpoints that optimise how users communicate in the work environment for maximum productivity by providing the best possible user experience.

“Whether a customer communicates with desk phones, smart phones, tablets, laptops or PCs, ShoreTel enables them to choose the device best suited to their needs,” said Pej Roshan, Vice President of Product Management at ShoreTel.  “The ShoreTel 400 series IP phones incorporate the latest user feedback resulting in new functionality and optimal usability.”

Visual voicemail simplifies message management and increases productivity by allowing users to scroll through messages to access, listen, respond, delete and save them in any order.  With this feature, users can pick the messages they want to listen to and erase or archive them right from the phone screen.

The intuitive user interface of the 400 series IP phones extends the proven ergonomic advantages of ShoreTel IP phones.  Specifically, the display is closer to vertical for better readability with a five-way control for quick navigation through screens and menu options, and the keypad is closer to horizontal for more ease when dialling and using the function keys.  The lighter handset offers more comfort and the phones have a smaller footprint for reduced use of space on the desktop.

“The feedback from our users has been fantastic,” said Todd Stone, CIO at QMACS, a ShoreTel U.S. customer.  “The employees like the phone’s larger display, the tactile response of the keypad buttons and the increased number of buttons/lines.  We believe the new functionality and enhanced usability will ultimately lead to increased employee productivity.”

Built-in diagnostic tools on the 400 series IP phones also enable help-desk staff to quickly identify issues and provide faster problem resolution, which means less downtime and higher user satisfaction.

Availability

The IP 400 series phones are available now for customers looking to install a new ShoreTel 14 system.  The phones offer greater flexibility by supporting premise deployments at launch and ShoreTel Sky® services in early calendar year 2014.  For customers who are considering an upgrade to their existing premises-based solution or a move to a cloud solution, the IP 400 series phones support either deployment model or a combination of both.

ShoreTel Mobility 7 Redefines the User Experience for the Mobile Generation

ShoreTel® (http://www.shoretel.com/) (NASDAQ: SHOR), the leading provider of brilliantly simple unified communications platforms (http://www.shoretel.com/solutions/unified_communications/benefits) including business phone systems (http://www.shoretelsky.com/products/?ce1=2&utm_expid=...), applications and mobile UC solutions (http://www.shoretel.com/solutions/enterprise_mobility), today announced the availability of the ShoreTel Mobility 7 software release, which offers unified communications (UC) capabilities with a completely redesigned user interface and simplified integration to boost workforce productivity for iPhone® and Android™ users.  With ShoreTel Mobility 7, users can transform their iOS smartphone or tablet into a desk phone with the ShoreTel Dock, which is now available for ordering.  

The new “Today” screen in the application integrates with the native calendar on Android and iOS platforms.  The ShoreTel Mobility Client automatically displays conference calls on the mobile user’s calendar and allows for one-click access to web and audio conferences.  A simple “Join” button automatically dials the specific conference call and enters the conference-participant code – freeing users from juggling apps whilst trying to memorise numbers and PIN codes.

“ShoreTel Mobility software is already a key tool for our mobile employees, and we are looking forward to using the new features, especially the innovative ‘Today’ screen that eliminates the complexity of joining conference calls when employees are on the go,” said Mike Segall, Director of IT Infrastructure at Flotek, a provider of specialty chemicals and production equipment using ShoreTel UC solutions.  

ShoreTel Mobility 7 also integrates with ShoreTel Conferencing so that users can switch to the presentation view with a single click, which provides both audio and visual participation.  When a user launches a conference from a meeting invite, the “Call Me” option opens ShoreTel Mobility, whilst clicking the link launches the ShoreTel Conferencing app.

Personal-dial support allows for non-business calls to be placed with the users’ cellular-caller ID through the ShoreTel Mobility app, eliminating yet another need to continuously switch back and forth between voice apps.  Per-call selections are available in a contextually aware drop-down menu, which provides options for personal caller ID, Wi-Fi, or cellular.

“Enterprise end users expect mobile UC clients to be as intuitive and easy to use as consumer apps found on a wide variety of smartphones and tablets,” said Brian Riggs, Principal Analyst at Ovum.  “This increases adoption of UC in the enterprise, helping businesses to derive the most benefit from their IT investments, whilst reducing training costs, resulting in a lower TCO of UC solutions purchased.  ShoreTel Mobility 7’s rich set of integrated voice, conferencing and collaboration, presence, IM, and other features presents businesses with the communications tools central to successfully deploying UC.”

ShoreTel Mobility 7 also makes it easier than ever for ShoreTel’s distribution network of VADs, service providers and resellers to address the increasing demand from businesses of all sizes for a fully integrated ShoreTel UC solution.

“Our channel is a buzz of excitement with the customer interest in ShoreTel Mobility and the ShoreTel Dock (http://www.shoretel.com/products/ip_phones/ShoreTel_Dock....).  With our latest software release, resellers can deliver a fantastic and intuitive experience for end users and IT administrators alike,” said David Petts, Senior VP of Worldwide Sales at ShoreTel.  “As a result, customers are able to integrate leading smartphones and tablets securely, simply and cost-effectively into existing enterprise communication applications and infrastructure to provide greater flexibility and increased productivity.”

Availability

ShoreTel Mobility 7 supports more than 50 mobile devices across the Android, Apple® iOS and BlackBerry® (up through 7.1) platforms.  The release includes enhanced integration with ShoreTel’s two UC platforms, premise-based and hosted, along with directory query integration and instant messaging whether a company is running ShoreTel, Microsoft® OCS or Lync® Instant Messaging and Presence Server (IMPS).

ShoreTel Mobility 7 solutions are available to ShoreTel’s on-premise customers, ShoreTel Sky customers, and SIP-supported IP PBXs from Avaya and Cisco Systems.  Feature availability and device support may vary by platform.

ShoreTel Mobility 7 integrates with the ShoreTel Dock to provide business-grade audio quality, a consistently charged mobile-device battery and the ergonomic comfort of a desk phone.  Both are now available to order from qualified ShoreTel reseller partners.

Adept Networks is proud to feature ShoreTel phone systems as part of their corporate and health care communications services and solutions.

http://www.adeptnetworks.com/phone/

Why is ShoreTel a Sure Choice for Communications Networks?
ShoreTel is the leading provider of IP phone systems with fully integrated Unified Communications. As more health care organization and businesses move to IP phone solutions to help manage and maintain a diverse range of requirements for both staff and facility, ShoreTel has become a trusted solution. Using ShoreTel, Adept Networks can set up a centrally managed communications system for health care organizations that immediately connects the right medical personnel and the right resources at the right time—and doesn't force doctors and nurses to learn a new and complex technology.

Adept utilizes ShoreTel because it is easy to deploy, easy to use and easy to administer. In fact, ShoreTel was named by Everything Channel to CRN’s first annual Top 100 Health Care Vendors And VARs list because of it's ability to improve patient care while keeping costs under control.

"Organizations such as RehabCare, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, Family Home Care, Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, Centre for Digestive Diseases, Visiting Nurses Association of Boston, and Woodlands North Houston Heart Center have all turned to ShoreTel to streamline communications, increase productivity, and save money."

Adept Communications, Inc. is a full service communications integrator offering telephone and voice mail systems, VoIP, data cabling and fiber optics installation, video surveillance, access control, and network design and configuration. Owner Greg Wilkolf stated, “When we talk about communication solutions the entire IT community is aware of ShoreTel’s incredible solutions for IP telephony and adding them to our offerings is a no brainer. Total cost of ownership is a leading consideration in the decision making process for many IT directors, so having a system that existing IT staff can support and integrate is a big deal."

When providing business class communications services and products, solutions that work well are everything. Businesses are not forgiving of network solutions that render a work environment less than optimum in performance. Adept Networks is recognized for providing services that are flexible, reliable and profitable.
