ShoreTel Announces Cloud Strategy
At ShoreTel's annual Champions partner conference in Orlando, in November 2012, the company presented its cloud strategy, explained how it is integrated into their on-premises strategy and how this will affect its partners.
"In 3-4 years, half the market will be hosted, and customers are increasingly demanding cloud," said Dan Hoffman, President and GM ShoreTel Sky, and the former CEO of New York City-based M5 Networks. ShoreTel acquired M5 in February 2012; this move became the basis of ShoreTel's cloud strategy.
