The ShoreTel system is a fully distributed IP phone system with no single point of failure. Call control is distributed to intelligent gateways - called voice switches - and voice applications, including voicemail and automated attendant, run on standard server hardware from anywhere on your IP network. The result is a single-image system across all geographies, with complete feature transparency. The days of multiple PBXs, voice mail systems, automated attendants, and ACD systems are over.  With ShoreTel, the phone system is distributed, the voice applications are integrated, and the management interface is best in class.  ShoreTel is a completely integrated IP phone system that scales seamlessly from 1 to 10,000 users including PBX, voice mail, and automated attendant functions.

Built from the ground up to be the easiest to use, easiest to manage, full-featured IP PBX system on the market today, its distributed architecture is ideal for multi-site companies that span multiple locations because their phone system appears and behaves as one, unified system.
