lifesize

How does it work?

There are three main types of video conference solutions for businesses: point-to-point, multipoint and streaming.

  • Point-to-point: (sometimes referred to as single call) is a direct connection between two locations. It’s like a telephone call, just with video.
  • Multipoint: lets three or more people or locations participate in the same video conference. Multiple parties can meet through HD video in a meeting room, from a desktop at work, from a home computer, or even over a smartphone or tablet when on the road.
  • Streaming: connects your video conference to others who may choose to view the meeting on a remote computer or mobile device using software instead of hardware. You can even access the video conference at a later time via a web browser.

Why pay for video conferencing?

Free is good. Reliable, lifelike and effortless are better, especially when it comes to getting business done. Think about the loss of productivity when you’re forced to squint at a low quality web video with choppy sound or perhaps you have to sit through background noise and distraction found on typical audio only web conferences.  Now envision the leap in productivity when teleconference participants communicate with superior clarity using Lifesize technology and HD displays in their locations.

The benefits of the lifesize cloud:

  • Save money: Affordable subscriptions; No up-front infrastructure costs & No IT administration
  • Get up and running right away: Deploy instantly; Manage quickly & Use immediately
  • Pay for only what you need: Scale up as needed: Perfect for growing businesses; No IT equipment worries
  • Make IT happen automatically: Automatic software updates & Set it and forget it
  • Discover ultimate ease of use: Technology managed by Lifesize; Ultra simple web settings console;     Immediate intuitive user interface and The Connected Experience is always just one call away
  • Use Anywhere with Any Device - Including Mobile

ShoreTel IP 930D IP Phone

ShoreTel’s new enterprise cordless phone ShoreTel IP 930D is able to address the need of business organizations for complete telephony features and in-building roaming capabilities.

ShoreTel states that while other IP phones are limited to offering only the basic single line features, its cordless IP 930D has the full set of features found in ShoreTel IP desk phones, including access to enterprise directory and multiple line appearances.

In addition, the new cordless solution does not “sacrifice quality for mobility,” which ShoreTel claims is something often seen among alternative cordless versions of enterprise phones. With IP 930D, the user does not have to be present behind the desk in order to manage incoming calls or to keep an eye on shared extensions. ShoreTel also touts that the new cordless IP 930D business phone has enough talk and standby times to take in a full day of calls.

REMINDER: ShoreTel 100/200/500 Series Phones End of Sale Notification

Effective September 1, 2015 ShoreTel will no longer sell the button box and 100/200/500 series of IP phones. The increasing difficulty of obtaining and managing parts for the manufacture of these phones is the primary factor leading to this action. In addition, the demand for these older phones continues to decline as the 400 series phones now represent the largest proportion of sales. The 400 series phones are ShoreTel’s principal portfolio of desk phones and ShoreTel continues to invest in these. A number of enhancements to the 400 series will be delivered in the coming months. ShoreTel has committed to  supporting the discontinued 100/200/500 series phones in future software releases for a minimum of 5 years.

 


May 27, 2015: Did You Know?

Picture7Hot Desking: This standard ShoreTel application allows users to log into any ShoreTel phone on their network and automatically changes that phone’s settings to match their “home” extension.  All incoming calls now ring to the new location including voicemail notifications and   direct dial numbers.  Great for users that travel and work out of        multiple offices within the organization.

 

Shoretel provides sa-100 conferencing?
