Shortel's Converged Conferencing

When employees can communicate easily across an organization—whether sharing information in a
presentation, collaborating on a document or instant messaging (IM) each other—business performance improves.  By combining voice and data over the enterprise phone system, ShoreTel® Converged Conferencing provides rich conferencingand collaboration features, cost-effectively. 

Built on a secure, Linux-based appliance, the system delivers a full range of capabilities, including:

  • Audio conferencing
  • Document sharing
  • Application sharing
  • Enterprise IM
  • Ability to schedule one-time, recurring, and reservationless calls
  • Integrated audio and visual recording

Simplify collaboration for better business results
ShoreTel Converged Conferencing delivers these capabilities, and more, through a zero-footprint, Web-based interface that is compatible with a variety of popular browsers.  ShoreTel Converged Conferencing extends beyond the four walls of the enterprise to allow employees to collaborate with remote customers, business  partners and other workers through presentations and proposals and live product demonstrations. Converged Conferencing functionality can even be used as a support tool to assist customers in using their PCs.

Reduce calls to the help desk
ShoreTel’s intuitive user interface and advanced features simplify collaboration and reduce associated support calls. Intuitive to learn and easy to use, the ShoreWare® Conference Console brings all conferencing capabilities together in a single location. From that location users can start a conversation, schedule one for later, or review previous sessions. ShoreWare Conference Console also simplifies communications by unifying the following features:

  • Text chat
  • Audio controls
  • Presentation sharing
  • Document file cabinet
  • Application sharing windows

Conference moderators can move between the different tools to share an application, view a presentation, dial out to add someone to the call, or launch a separate, sidebar conference.

Reduce costs
ShoreTel Converged Conferencing can be used by anyone in the organization, eliminating the need for costly third-party audio and Web conferencing services. An optional port reservation feature further optimizes your investment by making sure your ports are fully utilized.  ShoreTel Converged Conferencing also includes Enterprise IM and Recording features that can also help reduce costs. In many competitive solutions, these features require additional third party solutions or fees—in ShoreTel Converged Conferencing, they are both integrated into the standard solution. 

To help simplify management, Converged Conferencing finds the ShoreTel UC system when connected to the network and adds its ports automatically. An administrator simply assigns extensions to the ports, imports the users, and the bridge is ready.

Keep information safe, internally
The Converged Conferencing system allows all audio and Web sessions to be recorded and stored internally. This helps ensure data security and regulatory compliance, while eliminating the costs and potential security issues of using a service provider.

Host conference calls without the need to pre-book
Solar Meeting Zone lets you make your conference calls whenever it suits you - no need to book. The state-of-the-art technology means we have done away with the old-fashioned restriction of having to book conference calls in advance.

Use the same dial in number and access codes for every call you make
Solar Meeting Zone gives you one, permanent conference call phone number. Many companies want you to use a new phone number and access code for each and every conference call. We think that is confusing, so we give you your own number and access codes that are always there for you, each and every time you want to make a conference call. It is very convenient and we call it your Solar Meeting Space number. As your Solar Meeting Space number is always the same, we can personalise the welcome prompt, so your participants hear your company name announced when they join your conference.

You only pay for the calls you make – it’s as simple as that. With Meeting Zone, there are no hidden charges. It is free to open an account and you can add additional users at no extra cost. We offer highly competitive pricing, with a choice of dial in numbers (0844, 0845, 0207/0208, 0800, European national rate, international toll and toll free) and offer a flat conference rate across Europe.  On average, our charges are 30-40% less than our competitors.
