Guys - I couldn't pass this one up! :silly: :silly:
What do you do with old IT gear you don't need anymore? You could donate it to a school or nonprofit in your community. You could find a local e-cycler and let them deal with it. Or you could get some cash back for that legacy phone system, as you make the move to a new, all-IP unified communications system (UC).
You accelerate the productivity and cost benefits when you buy a new ShoreTel UC system and trade in your old legacy phone system. With ShoreTel's Trade-In Program (TIP), you can get cash back – and your old phone system stays out of the landfill. There's no need to rip and replace your entire legacy PBX and voice messaging infrastructure; with ShoreTel, you can move to an all-IP UC system at your own pace.
"For customers that have the many different legacy platforms that have been sold throughout the years, those products can be offered for trade-in to reseller partners for cash remuneration to other resellers," said Bernard Gutnick, senior director of product marketing, ShoreTel. Any legacy system is eligible for the trade-in, including Mitel, Nortel, Avaya, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC and more.
Trading in your old systems is brilliantly simple. Your reseller partner contacts one of the certified ShoreTel TIP partners, which are independent companies that purchase used equipment. The partner will bid on your old equipment. If the offer is accepted, your reseller handles the transaction.
The deal occurs between your reseller and the ShoreTel TIP partner, and the identity of your organization is kept confidential prior to the final sale. ShoreTel ensures that its TIP Partners are industry leaders and adhere to TIP policies and customer satisfaction standards.
Ask your local ShoreTel reseller how you can take advantage of this important program and trade in your legacy systems for a new ShoreTel UC system
