Why 4 Partners?

No one size fits all in the ever changing Voice over IP technology landscape.

Starnet works and maintains expertise with multiple vendors. This enables us to assess each customer’s requirements individually and make recommendations that meet that customer’s needs.

From the off-site hosted solution (FreedomIQ) and the small/medium business solutions (Digium, 3Com, ShoreTel) to the large enterprise solutions (ShoreTel, 3Com), Starnet programs meet the customers’ price, performance and features objectives.

Unique Ways to Buy: Technology As A Service

Today’s customers do not always want to own and manage a phone system, yet they need the features and benefits of current VoIP and Unified Communications technology.

For those customers, Starnet offers a business telephony Managed Services solution, StarASSURE.

StarASSURE, Starnet’s Technology As A Service offering, provides customers all the benefits of current technology without the need to spend time or money keeping the technology running optimally. That’s our job under StarASSURE.

In addition to eliminating the customer’s need to manage their Unified Communications systems, StarASSURE saves on large upfront capital expenditures, depreciation and obsolescence. StarASSURE also gives customers the flexibility to expand and upgrade.

Unique Ways To Buy: ShoreTel System Replacement Guarantee

For customers who choose a ShoreTel solution, Starnet offers a unique financing option (Shield) that provides the many benefits of long-term cost of ownership and protection from obsolescence.

ShoreTel’s SHIELD Financing Program lets customers to replace their ShoreTel system with something new or different—for any reason and with no financial penalty. Shield also provides a means for off-balance-sheet handling for customers concerned with CAPEX expenditure and depreciation.

For customers who need to be on the leading edge (today, it’s ShoreTel) but do not want to incur financial penalties for moving to the latest and greatest technology as it becomes available (from ShoreTel or competing vendors), SHIELD is the answer.

Voice Over IP Network Readiness Assessment

Customers migrating from Traditional TDM telephony to Voice over IP must have a network infrastructure (Local Area and Wide Area) that can deliver real-time voice traffic without delay or jitter.

The successful implementation of a VoIP solution is highly dependent on a Local Area or Wide Area network’s ability to prioritize voice packets, deliver those packets in order and overcome any potential network congestion.

Starnet provides customers in-depth assessments of their networks to rate their ability to support mission critical VoIP deployments and make the appropriate recommendations.
