Sydney, Aust., June 5, 2007 -
ShoreTel, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise IP telephony solutions, today
announced that insolvency firm Ferrier Hodgson has rolled out ShoreTel's leading
edge IP telephony system to 105 users at its office in Sydney. The ShoreTel system was selected over
systems from Avaya and Samsung and replaced an aging, leased Samsung PABX
system.
The solution includes a ShoreGear-E1 which interfaces over an ISDN
network to its service provider, ShoreTel 560 and ShoreTel 230 handsets and two
ShoreGear-120 switches capable of supporting up to 240 IP phones. The
complete Internet telephony system is managed using the browser-based
administration interface, ShoreWare Director, from anywhere on the network.
ShoreWare Director helps reduce maintenance costs and allows Ferrier Hodgson to
manage the system entirely in-house, carrying out adds, moves or changes
quickly and easily.
Ferrier Hodgson has a fleet of ‘roaming' staff who work
with clients externally. Using the ShoreTel IP telephony system, employees can
answer and transfer calls as if they were at their desks, said Ferrier's
IT manager Mustafa Mohabbat. "This is a compelling feature and something
we can add to, whenever required. Also, the system allows us to set users up at
different sites and use VPN links that are already in place. All of a sudden,
call costs between offices become free, and calls interstate are only the cost
of a local call because we use Least Cost Routing."
Steve Timmerman, ShoreTel's vice-president of product development,
says ShoreTel has introduced new capabilities that combine flexibility,
manageability and usability and provides a unique technology architecture. "The
ShoreTel platform offers attractive price points for all sizes of offices and
provides the ease of use and management that keep customers satisfied," Timmerman
said.
"ShoreTel offers a single hardware and software platform that
spans all levels of key system and PBX functionality and addresses the needs of
organisations with 10 to tens of thousands of employees," he said.
Established
in 1976, Ferrier Hodgson is Asia Pacific's most widely recognised and
highly respected provider of turnaround, reconstruction and
forensics services. The Ferrier Hodgson Group has over 40 partners and 300
staff and offices in all major Australian capital cities, Hong
Kong, Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan
and New Zealand.
Its affiliation with the world's foremost risk consulting company, Kroll, ensures Ferrier Hodgson can
be on the ground seamlessly and quickly in all major international markets.
