Evolutions of Voice Communications

As the landscape of business communications continues to evolve, organizations are navigating the shift between traditional on-premise systems and innovative cloud-based solutions. At Verticall Networks, we understand that every business has unique communication needs, which is why we partner with Mitel to offer a wide range of solutions—whether you're looking to optimize a premise-based system or transition to a flexible cloud platform like MiCloud Connect or MiCloud Flex.

In this article, we'll explore the evolution of voice communications, the significance of Mitel’s on-premise and cloud-based offerings, and how Verticall Networks can help you make the right choice for your business. We’ll also cover Mitel’s acquisition of ShoreTel, which has had a lasting impact on legacy system support and customer satisfaction.


Mitel: A Leader in Premise-Based Solutions

Despite the growing popularity of cloud communications, many organizations continue to rely on premise-based systems for their robust security, reliability, and control. Mitel has remained at the forefront of this market, offering scalable, high-performance telephone systems that meet the needs of organizations with specific security and regulatory requirements.

For businesses that require the control and customization of on-premise infrastructure, Mitel’s MiVoice Connect provides a perfect solution. MiVoice Connect is a feature-rich, on-site system that offers superior call quality, comprehensive security, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure. This allows businesses to maintain full control over their communications system, ensuring minimal downtime, maximum privacy, and robust disaster recovery options.

At Verticall Networks, we specialize in helping businesses find the right on-premise solutions, ensuring a reliable and future-proof communications infrastructure. We assist in finding trusted vendors and providing ongoing support to keep your business communications running smoothly. Whether you’re starting fresh or looking to upgrade an existing system, Verticall Networks can guide you every step of the way.

From ShoreTel to Mitel: Continuing Support for Legacy Systems

In 2017, Mitel acquired ShoreTel, a company that had long been known for its innovative, user-friendly voice communication systems. The acquisition allowed Mitel to expand its cloud-based offerings while continuing to support the ShoreTel legacy systems still in use by many businesses today.

For businesses still utilizing ShoreTel systems, this means continued access to support, updates, and enhanced functionality under the Mitel brand. Verticall Networks works with these clients to ensure their systems remain up-to-date, efficient, and secure. Whether you need help with ShoreTel system maintenance, upgrades, or migration to Mitel's cloud offerings, our team is here to provide expert assistance and ensure that your communications infrastructure continues to meet your needs.

By leveraging Mitel’s robust architecture, you can extend the life of your ShoreTel system while evaluating the benefits of moving to a more modern, scalable solution like MiCloud Connect.

MiCloud Connect: Cloud Communications for the Future

As businesses embrace the advantages of cloud communications, Mitel’s MiCloud Connect has become a leading solution for companies of all sizes. MiCloud Connect offers a seamless transition from on-premise to cloud-based systems, allowing businesses to reduce capital investment, simplify infrastructure, and enjoy increased scalability.
