Thanks for your comment - we did in...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment - we did invite our Mitel Telecoms supplier in to show us the Mitel feature set at the time and we were...... underwhelmed. I agree that the Mitel 3300 (as it stood) had loads more voice features than Lync 2010 but as we were not using them it didn't feel like we have lost anything. <br /><br />Cost, I agree that we could have got the Mitel up to date for less cost. Although this would have just given us a more up to date Legacy PBX. The integration with the Microsoft Product Stack was still lacking. We did use the Mitel Live Business Gateway.... for all of one month, it was again - underwhelming.<br /><br />As for "exactly the same" well I'm afraid we are going to have to agree to disagree.<br /><br />As Gartner say:<br /><br />"Consider Mitel when you are looking for software that can run as a self-contained stand-alone system"<br /><br />as opposed to:<br /><br />"Lync is a strategic UC choice for many organizations, and potentially an alternative to replace a legacy PBX installation."<br /><br />(Source: http://www.gartner.com/reprints/microsoft-v16?id=1-1L5S7FW&ct=131002&st=sb)<br />Tobie Fyshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00257880150199305678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858515624047752516.post-68328572127224650462013-11-25T20:53:43.736+00:002013-11-25T20:53:43.736+00:00It just sounds like you didn't understand what...It just sounds like you didn't understand what you could do with your Mitel system. If you judge a 2013 tech against a 2007 version then there will be no comparison. On the other hand you could have achieved exactly the same - with far better voice features - and for less cost - by updating your Mitel environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
