In addition to the distributed call control software, the ShoreTel IP Office
system provides a distributed voice application platform with open telephony
application interfaces of TAPI for call control and TAPI Wave for media play and
record.
Voice application servers can be distributed across the enterprise to optimize
system availability and network resources. Even though there are multiple
servers, the ShoreTel IP Office system is still managed as a single image
system.
In addition, the ShoreTel IP Office system includes TAPI compliant voice
applications that are bundled with the system at no additional charge, these
include:
Voice Mail
Automated Attendant
Automatic Call Distribution
Call Detail Recording
Unified Messaging
Desktop Call Control
Instead of voice applications from multiple vendors with multiple management
interfaces, the ShoreTel IP Office system eliminates complexity with a
complete suite of bundled voice applications. This is unmatched in the
industry by either new or legacy communications vendors.
