G’Day ShoreTel Connect CLOUD

It was with much anticipation that we officially launched ShoreTel Connect CLOUD in Australia at partner-focused events in Melbourne and Sydney last week!

ShoreTel Executives Discuss Cloud Market at Partner Events

At the two events hosted by ShoreTel CEO Don Joos, more than 60 partners throughout the country travelled to be the first to see and hear the latest features of ShoreTel Connect CLOUD, now available in Australia.

The venues we chose in Sydney and Melbourne gave us a beautiful backdrop of each city’s skyline, and our partners and prospective partners enjoyed an afternoon and evening of product updates, networking and hospitality.

The events provided a great opportunity for our Australian channel to hear from Don on ShoreTel’s global cloud strategy, including the significance of our expansion in Australia.

Next, David Petts, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Customer Success, drew on experiences through the introduction of ShoreTel’s UCaaS solution in the US, Canada and UK. He identified ‘lessons learned’, which resonated well with partners as they consider the changing nature of the UC marketplace in Australia and how to capitalise on the increasing market demand for cloud.

Identifying customer demand for communications in the cloud was covered by our Chief Marketing Officer, Mark Roberts who provided insights into generating leads through marketing initiatives supported and funded by ShoreTel.

In a change of pace, partners were introduced to our newly appointed Regional Director for ShoreTel Australia and New Zealand, Ben Swanson. With six years of tenure at ShoreTel, Ben is already a familiar face however the events offered partners a chance to catch up with him face-to-face and hear his views on the UCaaS market opportunities in Australia.

Our local ShoreTel executives – myself, Craig Howe, ANZ Channel Manager, and John Jackson, ANZ Service Design and Activation Manager, covered the programmatic topics of the Australian cloud commercials, details of our CLOUD Champion Partner Program and, of course, a demonstration of ShoreTel Connect CLOUD’s UC and Contact Centre capabilities.

Connect CLOUD Shows Strong Response and Early Wins  

ShoreTel anticipates a strong uptake of ShoreTel Connect CLOUD in Australia given the response to our first cloud services – ShoreTel Hosted Voice – last year. In fact, I’m proud to reveal we have already won ten new ShoreTel Connect CLOUD customers in Australia, even before the product was officially launched! Those customers include MRWED, a registered training organisation with four offices locations across Australia and a large workforce of remote home-based workers.

“The ShoreTel UCaaS solution will mean better visibility and increased collaboration across our organisation,” said Jason Ash, Chief Innovation Officer, MRWED. “This is a huge advantage as we strive to create a diverse force of remote workers, adding to the MRWED core value of flexibility.”

Ash added, “An important feature of the ShoreTel Connect CLOUD system for us is the multi-point video collaboration. Video, along with features like presence, instant messaging and screen sharing will keep our team well connected when they’re away from the traditional office space. We also love that these features are included in the ShoreTel solution and allow us to replace three other systems we were considering.”

We are proud to say, “G’Day ShoreTel Connect CLOUD, welcome to Australia” and look forward to a bright future with our Australian partners and customers.
