ShoreTel has been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America based on fiscal year revenue growth over a five-year period from 2002 through 2006. ShoreTel revenues grew from just over $7 million in 2002 to more than $61 million in 2006, an increase of 759 percent. The company was ranked 216 out of 500 companies.

“ShoreTel is delivering on the promise of unified communications for the enterprise,” said Steve Timmerman, vice president of marketing at ShoreTel. “Our phenomenal growth is the direct result of great products, top-notch channel partners, and an absolute dedication to customer satisfaction.”

Two recent announcements demonstrate ShoreTel’s continuing momentum. The company announced ShoreTel 7.5, which extends unified communications capabilities to mobile phones and increases support for international locations. The new release features increased capacity for ShoreTel’s voice switches and two new telephones, a high-contrast color display telephone and an enhanced entry-level speakerphone.

ShoreTel also announced an agreement with Syntellect Inc. to offer Syntellect’s award-winning contact centre solution to ShoreTel resellers globally. The agreement marks a key strategic move into the high-end contact centre market and is a response to the needs of ShoreTel’s growing list of large enterprise customers. In deployment after deployment, ShoreTel has provided enterprises and government agencies a very dependable, easy-to-manage, easy-to-use, unified communications solution.
