Spectrum Partners With Shoretel
Bringing Next-Generation VOIP Solutions to Businesses

CINCINNATI, Ohio, September 1, 2006 -- Spectrum InTouch, a Spectrum, Inc., company, and ShoreTel, the fastest growing IP PBX company worldwide and the leader in customer satisfaction, recently announced that they have partnered to bring the benefits of next-generation voice technologies to businesses across the country. Spectrum is now offering ShoreTel's award-winning ShoreTel 6 IP PBX platform to create cost-effective business phone systems that bring voice and data together in powerful ways, including voice-and-data conferencing and virtual contact centers.

"We are glad Spectrum has joined with Shoretel," said Chris Resch, Chief Technology Officer of Officeware, Inc. "We have been a Spectrum customer for several years, and have always received great service and support from their team. We selected the ShoreTel system for the combination of features, value, and ease of use for both users and the administrator. I can't imagine going back to a standard phone system after having used the ShoreTel system."

The applications bundled into this 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.

"ShoreTel's IP voice communication system is user-centric, associating phone numbers with people, not offices," said Trent McCracken, President of Spectrum InTouch. "Your calls find you whether you are at your desk, working at a branch office, or using a PC-based softphone at home, in a hotel room or some other remote location. You have a single contact number and a single voicemail box, eliminating a lot of redundant phones calls and duplicate messages. And you get to use a consistent voice environment, wherever you want to work."
