AASTRA INTELLIGATE PBXs AWARDED TWO ‘BEST BUYS’ FOR 2008

Leading business buyer’s publication What To Buy For Business magazine recognised Aastra’s IntelliGate for the second consecutive year with four awards following its independent survey of the Business Telephone Systems market.
Systems from a wide range of vendors were rated in the report, and Aastra IntelliGate systems were recognised with the following accolades, including the IntelliGate 2065 & 300, which both won the coveted ‘Best Buy’ award.
• The Aastra IntelliGate 2065 was awarded ‘Best Buy’ in the Hybrid PBX category
• The Aastra IntelliGate 300 was also chosen as ‘Best Buy’ in the Hybrid PBX category
• The Aastra IntelliGate 2025 was judged to provide ‘Good Value’ in the Hybrid PBX category
• The Aastra IntelliGate 150 was judged to be ‘Worth a Look’ in the Hybrid PBX category
Michael Calvert, General Manager for Aastra in the UK, said: “We were delighted to be recognised for the second year running with top awards from such a highly regarded authority. Choosing the right telephone system is a critical decision for any business to remain competitive, and the ‘Best Buy’ recommendations from the independent What to Buy for Business awards endorse what we have always said about the Aastra IntelliGate Family – highly featured and easy to use.”
Key highlights from the survey, as published in January 2008 issue, included:
 
About Aastra IntelliGate 2065: "Good menu systems, user friendly, easily upgradeable….Aastra is to offer fixed-mobile convergence so you can use a Nokia mobile to make calls on the office phone system.” 

About Aastra IntelliGate 300: "A small, easily upgradeable business system.  The great thing is the apparent simplicity with an interface anyone can understand, designed like the layout of a mobile phone.  This means staff are more likely to use its menu system to make call handling more efficient.”

About Aastra IntelliGate 2025: "If you buy a second hand Aastra system you can still upgrade it with a flash memory card.”
 
About Aastra IntelliGate 150: "User-friendly interface".
