ShoreTel?s at the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) conference this week. (Come by and visit us at booth #226!)
As noted last week, law firms around the world are finding a competitive edge by replacing business-as-usual with new thinking, and choosing ShoreTel to handle their integrated business communication ? including Burr & Forman, firm of ILTA regional vice president for the southeast region, David Michel.
Burr & Forman, LLP is a full-service law firm with nearly 250 attorneys, several hundred support staff, and offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Its lawyers are regularly recognized among The Best Lawyers in America, and the firm is noted as one of the nation?s top law firms and best places to work.
Burr & Forman has diverse workforce needs, with some employees used to physical desk phones for handling calls, and a new generation of staffers who prefer using flexible tools such as instant messaging and softphones. Each of the eight offices had a separate phone system and the firm was using various voicemail applications.
Burr & Forman selected a ShoreTel UC Solution designed with simplicity in and complexity out. The solution includes ShoreTel Communicator, the ShoreTel Conference Bridge, and ShoreTel Web Dialer for online click-and-dial ease. To deploy optimum performance across the installation design, Burr & Forman enlisted ShoreTel Implementation Services.
And Michel added a five-year ShoreTel Enterprise Support contract for post-implementation support. The ShoreTel implementation included 700 licenses across all eight offices for 525 users and multiple conference rooms, with particular emphasis on use of the ShoreTel core software and softphone capabilities.
The ShoreTel system was tested and operational in six weeks. The benefits have included:
- Return on investment in 26 months
- 80% cost savings on long-distance charges
- Flexibility and ease of use for meeting users? diverse work needs
- High availability and rapid disaster recovery with N+1 redundancy
- Expanded capabilities for reducing workloads and improving productivity including instant messaging
- Architecture to support our plan to go to an all softphone deployment
?We chose ShoreTel for its ease of use, simplicity, disaster recovery, and cost savings. And for a 60-month purchase, we calculated ROI at 26 months?impressive. ShoreTel has changed how people work at Burr & Forman. We now have tools in place to help us work more effectively and increase productivity?
- David S. Michel, Chief Information Officer, Burr & Forman
David Michel serves as the firm?s Chief Information Officer where he is responsible for the firm?s technology infrastructure, assisting in the development of the firm?s technology strategy, and for the delivery of technology services and litigation support to all of Burr?&?Forman?s offices.
