  • Mitel has reduced IT telephony support costs by empowering users
  • Mitel's abilities with VoIP have reduced traditional phone costs
  • Because IT staff are freed up from dealing with routine telephony support, staff are able to focus on other priorities.

  • To put it another way, it helps me control the flow of my job (in this case, phone calls) so that I can keep up with them at a speed I'm comfortable with. That constant ringing on the phone has been eliminated. If I need a break, or if I just want to focus on anything else, I can put myself on release and do so.
  • Extension numbers were not something I had to devote a lot of effort to understanding. Using the directory, I can quickly find anyone in the workplace and either calls them or leave a voicemail for them.
  • It has an effortless capacity to link up with other workers in the office.

  • It allows for me to manage my workflow (i.e. calls) at a pace that I can handle. I don't have to listen to the phone ring incessantly. I can go into release and focus on other tasks or step away if I need to take a breather.
  • I didn't have to spend a lot of time learning extension numbers. I can search anyone in the office by name and connect to them directly or leave them a voicemail.

  • We have been able to be much more nimble with growth.
  • We haven't been able to do as we hoped and make Mitel our singular solution for phone, as well as video conferencing. We have unfortunately had to buy additional conferencing services to meet our needs, thus hurting our anticipated ROI.

  • We've definitely seen a business impact on our company in a positive manner. We've been able to provide the best possible service that suits our needs, while not being gouged by ISP's or Telco providers.
  • We can better serve our customer service reps and tech support people by managing our own system, creating our own ring groups and control use.

  • At my branch alone, we are saving over $500 a month using Shoretel Sky versus the phone company we were using before them.
  • Shoretel Sky has increased customer service by allowing our employees to easily transfer a call to the proper department or branch no matter where they are located instead of giving the caller a phone number to call.
  • Most of our locations did not have caller ID before Shoretel Sky. That feature has increased employee efficiency because when they know who is calling before they answer allows them to professionally greet their caller and have their info up on their computer as they answer.

  • Our company is constantly answering and assisting with customer calls. WIthout MiCloud, there would not be a strategy for how calls were handed to agents. That feature alone is a must-have for this environment.
  • Our company also fields customer emails that are managed by the MiCloud system. Our profits depend on quick responses and this system aids with that.

  • Since I was not working in departments that directly deal with ROI, I am not sure about it. I think that it was a positive ROI because of the purpose it served in the marketing department.
  • I think that in some cases, it has also helped in saving time. For example, in cases where a person is not checking his email, a phone call may alert him more spontaneously.

  • Allows users to be more productive with extension to extension calling.
  • Allows users to see when others are on their phones via the ShoreTel Communicator software to eliminate wasted time.
  • Has an available T1/PRI switch to eliminate the need for POTS telephone lines.

  • We have had a great ROI. We replaced an old analog system with VoiP. We had to add PoE architecture, but we still made a positive ROI since we now own the equipment and are not renting it and paying higher fees to support older technology.
  • We lowered our administrative costs also since we no longer have to tone lines out when adding a new phone to a station. We just have to add a phone to an ethernet port, and in worst case scenario, add a local PoE injector.
