IDeACOM Midwest is proud to announce the addition of Shoretel as our partner for Pure VoIP solutions for our customers. After a four-year search for the right product in the pure VoIP arena, we finally found our perfect product. In evaluating a wide variety of products, our search criteria was based on finding the system that would best deliver in four categories. The categories were (in no particular order), the system’s architecture and feature set would have to be able help our customers (1) increase the productivity of their staff, (2)would have to be designed help them provide world class customer service to their clients, (3) would provide the reliability that our customers have been accustomed to with the key and PBX systems we have in our current portfolio, and (4) it would have to be affordably priced, not only the initial purchase , but also to maintain and grow. We think this is the same criteria our customer will use when looking for their next generation system. We searched, and were courted by, the top names in the VoIP industry. We looked at, and “test drove” all the systems marketed by the main players and some of the minor players as well.. After each test, the selection committee's evaluation determined that at least one of the four major criteria factors was seriously lacking. In most cases the systems lacked more than one of the deciding factors.
Then we met Shoretel. A perfect match to our four deciding factors. Thirty year veterans in the voice industry were saying WOW! at every aspect of the product and the company. We think you will too. Call us and schedule a demo and see how your company’s bottom line can be improved with a better communication system.
