IP telephony vendor ShoreTel saw its 2008 revenue rise 32 per cent as its top line surged past the $100m mark.

The vendor's Q4 revenue for the three months to 30 June rose 20 per cent on the same period last year and stood at $34.7m. Net loss according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $47,000, compared to a net income of $1.9m in Q4 2007. Q4 2008's losses included $2m in stock-based compensation expenses.

For the whole of 2008, revenue rose 32 per cent to $128.7m, while GAAP net income was $2.6m, down from $6m last year. 2008's income suffered from the inclusion of $6.9m in stock-based compensation expenses, compared to $2.7m last year.
