Atlantech Online, Inc. Partners with ShoreTel™ to Bring
Next-Generation VoIP Solutions to Businesses
IP Telephony Leverages Data Applications and Infrastructure; Delivers More for Less
Silver Spring, MD March 19, 2007 — Atlantech Online and ShoreTel, Inc., the
innovation leader in enterprise IP telephony, today announced that they are partnering
to bring the benefits of next-generation voice technologies to business in the Mid-Atlantic
Region. Atlantech Online is now using ShoreTel’s award-winning ShoreTel IP PBX
platform to create cost-effective business phone systems that can bring voice and data
together in powerful ways, including voice-and-data conferencing and virtual contact centers.
IP voice systems reduce voice signals to standard Internet Protocol data packets, so
conversations can run over data networks. This eliminates the need to build and maintain
two separate networks, and enables business applications that combine voice and data. It
also gives voice the routing flexibility and location independence that makes a website
on another continent seem closer than the shop next door.
"Thanks to the simplicity and reliability of ShoreTel’s IP voice technology,
convergence is no longer restricted to the bleeding edge," said Ed Fineran, President
of Atlantech Online. "It is now a practical alternative for businesses of all types,
sizes and geographic configurations. Voice and data are moving inexorably together, and
ShoreTel’s unique IP voice systems are now giving our customers a head start on the
future as well as the competitive advantage today."
"We are delighted to welcome Atlantech Online to the ShoreTel team of channel
partners," said Joe Vitalone, ShoreTel’s vice president of sales and business
development. "Unlike traditional phone systems, IP voice is extremely flexible and
provides endless opportunities for customization and adding value. However, this requires
intimate knowledge of specific customer needs, which we rely on our channel partners to
possess. Atlantech Online is not merely installing our products, but also elevating the
business phone system from a taken-for-granted utility to a productivity-boosting
environment."
The applications bundled into the enterprise-class phone system include voicemail, an
automated attendant, automatic call distribution, call detail recording, unified voice mail,
and desktop call control. Everything is accessed from the same intuitive Windows-based
interface, making the system very easy to use and manage.
