QUOTES FROM THE SYNERGY REPORT:
- "ShoreTel has rapidly become successful in terms of market share and revenue growth and is regarded by most as a healthy company, even in these tough economic times, which adds to its allure."
- "ShoreTel's success in capturing market share in the SMB and now larger enterprise markets centers on product quality and simplicity (a single communications platform) and its development of a strong global indirect distribution channel."
- "Over the past several quarters Synergy's research has identified ShoreTel as the leading vendor in the global SMB voice marketplace."
- "Although ShoreTel's initial strength was in the SMB market, the company has been encroaching upon the larger enterprise market. Every new enterprise win will add credibility in this area."
- "National partners, which are ATT, Qwest, Verizon, BlackBox and CDW, showed a solid 77 percent growth in volume fiscal year-over-year."

ShoreTel also recently was named the Best IP Telephony Provider in the Nemertes PilotHouse Awards -- Top Providers, IP Telephony 2010 for the seventh consecutive year. Like last year, ShoreTel was again ranked first in every category against every competitor.
In addition, the company recently initiated a major advertising campaign to call attention to an "Anti-Complexity Movement" that encourages business to reject the unnecessary and costly complexity that has become the norm for many vendors in enterprise communications.
