Greetings!

 

Do you have employees who travel internationally? Does your company have offices overseas? Then ask us about our new ShoreTel Mobility service!

 

ShoreTel Mobility extends the full power of a desk phone and Unified Communications (UC) capabilities to a mobile phone and sets the user free to communicate  from any location (office, home, hotspots) by enabling access to any network (cellular or Wi-Fi) anywhere in the world, simply and cost effectively.

 

Businesses of all sizes are deploying ShoreTel Mobility to address the key challenges associated with mobile phone use: soaring international roaming costs, poor in-building coverage, and integration into corporate PBX and Unified Communications systems.

 

Not only is ShoreTel Mobility an inherent component of the ShoreTel Unified Communications system, but it also easily integrates with other PBX systems, including those from Cisco, Avaya, Alcatel, Siemens, and UC systems such as Microsoft OCS.

 

Benefits: Slashes international roaming & long distance charges; provides high-quality, cheap in-building coverage; increases user productivity with greater responsiveness and accessibility; simplifies UC for mobile workers and their peers; and delivers enterprise-grade mobility.

  

For more information, contact one of our professionals today at 314-961-1027 or sales@throttlenet.com.

Quick Tip for the Non-Tech Savvy: 

 

Top 10 Things Your Users Are Doing to Sabotage Your Network

  
Virus Comic1.    Disabling security software: Before you deploy any piece of hardware, you ensure the firewall is enabled, anti-virus software is installed, and all other measures are in place. Yet, this can all be for naught if a user decides to disable them.
 
2.    Neglecting to install updates: In many instances, patches can be pushed out to client machines automatically; but for those of you still relying on your users to apply updates when a vendor requires it, you're left wishing on a star.
 
3.    Downloading software from the Internet: These rogue users view the preinstalled software on their boxes as a mere starting point. They download at will, inviting all manner of miscreant to take up residence on your precious network.
