ShoreTel, one of Genesis BCS’s flagship VoIP office and business phone system vendors, announced last week the launch of it’s 400 series of IP Phones. The phones boast a host of new functionality, but perhaps more significantly, will be the first series of ShoreTel hardware to be compatible with ShoreTel Sky, a hosted phone system provider acquired by the company in 2012.
ShoreTel has labored recently to integrate ShoreTel Sky into its existing ecosystem, and the new series of IP Phones will go a long way towards making that seamless integration a reality.
At Genesis BCS, we’ve been excited to watch the ShoreTel Sky hosted phone service mature into a fully-featured “voice as a service” platform, and now believe it’s more than ready to bring to our customers as a viable, and in some cases superior, solution to those who see the many benefits of a managed phone system.
Here’s what ShoreTel had to say about the functionality of it’s new phones:
“Visual voice mail simplifies message management and increases productivity by allowing users to scroll through messages to access, listen, respond, delete and save them in any order. With this feature, users can pick the messages they want to listen to and erase or archive them right from the phone screen.
The intuitive user interface of the 400 series IP phones extends the proven ergonomic advantages of ShoreTel IP phones. Specifically, the display is closer to vertical for better readability with a five-way control for quick navigation through screens and menu options, and the keypad is closer to horizontal for more ease when dialing and using the function keys. The lighter handset offers more comfort and the phones have a smaller footprint for reduced use of space on the desktop.”
