SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - July 27, 2009) - ShoreTel® (NASDAQ : SHOR ), the leading
provider of brilliantly simple IP phone systems with fully integrated
Unified Communications (UC), today announced it has surpassed its
ten-thousandth enterprise customer, demonstrating the company's continuing
success in this market. ShoreTel's brilliantly simple UC solutions are
attracting a growing number of customers worldwide, as enterprises
increasingly look for flexible, easy-to-use and easy-to-manage
communication tools that offer a strong competitive advantage.
The number of enterprises deploying ShoreTel UC systems continues to grow
not only because of ShoreTel's excellent performance, but also because of
its brilliant simplicity -- advanced features and capabilities that help
organizations boost productivity and improve customer service, based on a
highly available and easy-to-manage platform. The result is a highly
flexible UC system with the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry.
As further proof of ShoreTel's rising popularity and growth, a recent report from Synergy Research Group found ShoreTel to be
the number one in worldwide market share in UC desktop applications for
small and midsize businesses, as well as making significant strides among
enterprise customers.
Despite the economic climate, ShoreTel has consistently delivered high
quality products with world-class customer satisfaction ratings. To date
ShoreTel has deployed more than 60,000 switches, nearly 900,000
VoIP-enabled phones, and has sold more than one million licenses for end
users. ShoreTel end
users can be found across all market sectors, including government,
education, health care, retail, financial services and entertainment, and
in organizations of all sizes.
John Combs, Chief Executive Officer, ShoreTel: "Simplicity and customer
satisfaction are the name of the game. At a time when technology is
burdening businesses with expensive complexity, ShoreTel stands out because
our solution not only is easy to install, manage, scale and use but
provides customers with sophisticated functionality. On top of that,
ShoreTel employees and partners remain committed to turning happy customers
into raving fans."
Don Girskis, Senior Vice President of Sales, ShoreTel: "ShoreTel's
enterprise customer growth is indicative of the UC market void for
outstanding functionality combined with simplified system management. While
our customer numbers are impressive, ShoreTel's focus on keeping it
brilliantly simple extends beyond the IT department and out to every end
user."
