ShoreTel - David Koerner
“Premises-based VS. Hosted Unified Communications”
David Koerner was the last to present in Salon H and offered his engineer expertise as a CSE for the ShoreTel Rockies region. He started off by presenting a chart that shows the growth of cloud adoption in the industry. With all the competitors in IT, ShoreTel offers a few things that help it stand out, from world class data centers (in Dallas, and Chicago), to the fact that they make their own phones. Combined with their superior applications, and brilliantly simple end-user support, ShoreTel is emerging as a leader in unified communication.
