"Our solutions are brilliantly simple to deploy, manage and use, making them ideal for midmarket companies which often have fewer IT resources and constrained budgets. With ShoreTel these users can grow at their own pace, protect their investments, and eliminate the rigid constraints imposed by other UC vendors."
"The executives named and the companies they represent serve the midmarket with unwavering commitment, and are dedicated to creating solutions that meet the unique needs of this market," said Robert C.
