ShoreTel helps Network Integrator Deliver Highly Available Managed Services
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 31 - ShoreTel, Inc., (NASDAQ:SHOR), a leading provider of enterprise IP unified communications solutions, today announced that Telindus, the European specialist in ICT solutions and services, will sell ShoreTel products to deliver unified communications as a managed service.
With more than 2,700 employees worldwide, Telindus focuses on the development of customer-tailored ICT (information communication technology) infrastructures to optimize business processes and decrease administrative costs. The ShoreTel distributed architecture will enable Telindus to offer a highly available managed service that will provide customers with a rich set of unified communications capabilities for both office and mobile workers, while driving down deployment costs.
"ShoreTel provides customers with a simple, reliable IP telephony solution that is easy to administer," said Lutz Ottersbach, director of sales for Telindus. "At the same time, ShoreTel's application integration allows us to offer a highly flexible managed service that will dramatically increase communication efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership. We believe that increasing reliability, higher employee productivity and clear financial value will soon convert even the most ardent IP-telephony sceptics."
ShoreTel's distributed software architecture and switched-based hardware platform extend enterprise-class voice services to every office and remote location, keeping employees fully connected wherever they go.
"With Telindus we now have a systems partner offering an economical and highly attractive managed service that provides customers with a lower barrier to entry for obtaining the benefits of voice over IP and unified communications," said Mark Swendsen, managing director, EMEA. "Telindus customers will benefit particularly from customer-specific application integration that will let them develop far more effective ways to stay connected with customers, partners and their internal teams."
