ShoreTel is the fastest growing IP PBX company in the United States and an early pioneer in the manufacture of VoIP technologies. The company has shipped its groundbreaking solutions since 1998 and continues to outpace the rapidly expanding IP telephony market with technological advances and sales that are doubling year over year.

ShoreTel voice systems are designed to make businesses smarter, setting new standards for usability and manageability while reducing telecommunications costs. A uniquely distributed architecture extends enterprise-class voice services to every office and outpost, keeping employees fully connected wherever they go.

The ShoreTel system is a fully distributed IP phone system with no single point of failure. Call control is distributed to intelligent gateways called voice switches. ShoreTel’s voice applications, including voicemail and automated attendant, run on standard server hardware from anywhere on your IP network.

The result is a single-image system across all geographies, with complete feature transparency. The days of multiple PBXs, voice mail systems, automated attendants and ACD systems are over. ShoreTel’s phone system is distributed, voice applications are integrated, and the management interface is best in class.

ShoreTel recognized the promise of the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) market early on. VoIP is one technology that continues to grow - and this trend is expected to continue, taking annual VoIP sales to at least $3 billion by 2006 as businesses replace traditional PBXs, key systems, and Centrex service.

Since its first installation in 1998, the company has sold thousands of systems worldwide. Now in its sixth major release, ShoreTel technology delivers a thoroughly proven voice solution to a rapidly growing base of enthusiastic users.

ShoreTel sells its IP phone systems through a select group of channel partners that provide top-notch service and support.
