-- ShoreTel® (NASDAQ: SHOR), a leading provider of

launched ShoreTel Connect for Chrome browser, an integrated
solution that delivers a unified communications experience between
ShoreTel Connect, G Suite and Google Chrome. With a new client app,
users can streamline workflows and increase efficiencies with
integrated contacts, events and call control.
Specifically, this integration enables users to:
- Easily search for contacts by merging ShoreTel contacts with G
Suite contacts into a single list. Connect for Chrome browser lets
users search through all contacts at once and initiate a call with
one click.
- Maximize productivity with integrated call control. Users can
search for contacts, dial and control calls from the Chrome browser
extension all in one place. User can also view presence status for
contacts within search results.

Clicking on a notification takes users into a web conference where
they can collaborate by sharing their screen and participating in a
group chat.
"Google Chrome browser and G Suite are heavily used in the
enterprise and across verticals, so the time is right to integrate
ShoreTel Connect with Google," said Eugenia
Corrales, Senior Vice President of Solutions Group at
ShoreTel. "Our new offer reinforces our commitment to create
intuitive and integrated solutions. Now, Chrome browser users have
a seamless enhanced experience with the integrated ShoreTel
features. We will continue to grow our capabilities in this area
with a focus on broader web-based collaboration."
Matt Pingatore, CEO of Packet
Fusion, a ShoreTel Platinum partner, said: "The world today is
suffering from 'tool fatigue' with too many overlapping desktop
productivity tools. With ShoreTel Connect for Chrome browser,
users are not forced to use one tool over the other but can pick
the place where they want to work. Genius! And the sales process
for us just got easier."

and easily by downloading the ShoreTel Connect extension from the
