IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
FOR THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING TO BE HELD APRIL 6, 2010

Our Proxy Statement and Annual Report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 are available at www.proxyvote.com.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS WITH SHARES
IN BROKER ACCOUNTS

Due to new stock exchange rules which took affect January 1, 2010, your broker is prohibited from voting your street name shares in routine elections for directors unless you instruct your broker in writing how you want your shares voted. Consequently, your street name shares will not be voted in connection with the election of directors unless you timely respond to your broker’s request for voting instructions.

1814 W. Tacoma Street

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74012

PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement is furnished to the shareholders of XETA Technologies, Inc. (“XETA” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) by our Board of Directors to solicit proxies for use at our annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on April 6, 2010, at XETA’s home office located at 1814 W. Tacoma Street, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at 10:00 a.m., local time.

This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card will first be mailed to shareholders on March 3, 2010.

INFORMATION ON VOTING

Who Can Vote

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2010, the record date fixed by the Board of Directors, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each record holder is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock registered to the holder on the record date. As of February 12, 2010, there were 10,329,048 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

How You Can Vote

You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. We encourage you to vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting. Proxies properly executed and received by us in time to be voted at the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the specifications marked on the proxy card. Signed proxies which are returned to us with no voting specifications marked will be voted “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement and in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy on any other matter which may properly come before the meeting.

If your shares are registered in your name as the shareholder of record, you may vote either by mail or the internet. To vote by mail, complete, sign, and return the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided to: Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. To vote using the internet, access the voting site at www.proxyvote.com and follow the voting instructions set forth on the enclosed proxy card. The internet procedure is designed to authenticate the shareholder’s identity and to allow shareholders to vote their shares and confirm that their voting instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders who vote by internet do not need to return the proxy card.

If you hold your shares in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or through a bank, trust or other nominee, the broker or other nominee is considered the record holder and you are the beneficial owner of the shares. Beneficial owners vote their street name shares by instructing their broker or other nominee how to vote using the voting instruction form provided by the broker or nominee. Brokers have authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” matters if they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Please note that under recent rules changes effective January 1, 2010, the election of directors is no longer considered a routine matter. Consequently, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific voting instructions with respect to the election of directors, your street name shares will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of a nominee but will instead be treated as a broker non-vote (see “How Votes are Counted” below).

If you hold your shares in street name and want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain from your broker or nominee a legal proxy issued in your name giving you the right to vote the shares directly at the meeting. You will not be entitled to vote at the meeting unless you present such a proxy to the Company at that time.

How You Can Change Your Vote

You may change your vote by revoking your proxy at any time before voting takes place at the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by notifying the Secretary of the Company in writing, by submitting another proxy with a later date, or by notifying the Company and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you must contact your broker or other nominee regarding how to revoke your proxy and change your vote.

Quorum

A quorum is necessary to conduct the business of the meeting. This means that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock must be represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Votes Required for Approval

Under our bylaws, for all matters submitted at the Annual Meeting, including the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is necessary for approval.

How Votes are Counted

Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as shares present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. However, they receive different treatment for purposes of whether they are considered shares present and entitled to vote on a matter. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes are excluded from the number of shares present and entitled to vote on a matter and consequently do not count against the matter. Abstentions, on the other hand, are counted in the total number of votes present and entitled to vote on a matter and thus have the same effect as a vote against the matter.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominees for Election as Directors

The nominees for election to the Company’s Board of Directors consist of the seven directors currently serving on the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board reviews its governance practices on an ongoing basis in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors must have at least a majority of independent directors. Under the Nasdaq rules applicable to us, in order for a director to be deemed independent, the Board must determine that the individual does not have a relationship which in the Board’s opinion would interfere with the individual’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. Under this definition the following persons are prohibited from being deemed independent: (i) any executive officer or employee of the Company; (ii) any director who was employed by the Company during the past three years; (iii) a director who received or has a family member who received compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000, other than compensation for the director’s service as a director or the family member’s employment as a non-executive employee of the Company, or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation; (iv) a director who is a family member of a person who is or during the past three years has been an executive officer of the Company; (v) a director who is or has a family member who is either a partner, controlling shareholder or executive officer in any organization that currently or in the past three years has made payments to or received payments from the Company for property or services that exceed $200,000 or 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for the year, whichever is more, except under certain limited circumstances specifically prescribed by the Nasdaq rule; (vi) a director of the Company who is or has a family member who is employed as an executive officer of another entity where, during the past three years, any of the Company’s executive officers served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or (vii) a director who is or has a family member who is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor and worked on the Company’s audit at any time during the past three years.

Applying this standard, the Board has determined that Messrs. Crawley, Duke, Grimshaw, Hisrich, Siegenthaler and Tangun, all incumbent board members, are independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq standards for board service. In its deliberations on independence, the Board considered among other factors, the stock ownership position held by Mr. Siegenthaler in the Company since it is in excess of 10%, and the customer-vendor relationships between Mr. Grimshaw’s employer and the Company which involve only immaterial dollar amounts.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Our Board of Directors held five meetings during fiscal 2009, in addition to conducting business via written consents. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of board meetings and meetings held by all committees on which he then served during the fiscal year. The Company encourages its local directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. At last year’s annual meeting, all of the directors were present either in person or via conference call.

Committees of the Board

There are three principal committees of the Board: the Audit/Finance Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of these committees operates under a written charter approved by the Board. A copy of each committee’s charter is posted under Governance Documents in the Governance section on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.xeta.com. The Board has determined that all of the members of these committees meet the respective independence standards necessary to qualify to serve on the committee(s) to which they are assigned. The Board has also recently established an Executive Committee to act on behalf of the Board in between Board meetings, subject to limitations to be set out in the Committee’s charter. The Board intends that matters of importance that do not require immediate action will be referred to the full Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Mr. Siegenthaler (Chairman), Mr. Crawley and Dr. Hisrich.

Audit/Finance Committee

The current members of the Audit/Finance Committee are Mr. Crawley (its Chairman), Dr. Hisrich, and Mr. Tangun. The Board of Directors has determined that the Committee has at least two members—Messrs. Crawley and Tangun—who qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by SEC rules. The Committee met six times during the 2009 fiscal year.

The Audit/Finance Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. In this regard, the Committee is responsible for, among other things, selecting and retaining the Company’s independent public accountants; pre-approving the engagement of the independent accountants for all audit-related services and permissible, non-audit related services; reviewing in advance the scope and focus of the annual audit; and reviewing and discussing with management and the auditors the financial reports of the Company, the audited financial statements, the auditor’s report, the management letter, and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. The Audit/Finance Committee is also responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the financial affairs of the Company. In this regard, the Committee will review and make recommendations to the Board about the financial affairs and policies of the Company.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Duke (its Chairman), Mr. Grimshaw and Dr. Hisrich. Mr. Siegenthaler participates as a non-voting member of the Committee. The Compensation Committee met five times during the 2009 fiscal year.

The Compensation Committee oversees the Company’s compensation and benefits policies and programs and establishes and/or reviews the philosophy, objectives and goals of such policies and programs. The Committee’s primary responsibilities include: determining the compensation, including awards under the Company’s cash-based incentive and long-term equity-based plans, of the Company’s CEO, CFO and other executive officers; reviewing and recommending compensation of directors to the Board; and administering the Company’s equity-based incentive plan. The process and procedures followed by the Compensation Committee in considering and determining executive compensation are as follows: The Committee holds a series of meetings to consider a variety of objective and subjective information. Although the Committee’s review includes “hard” data relative to the Company’s financial and operating performance score card, it believes that no formulas or objective measures can fully or adequately take into account the full range of considerations in assessing individual performance or setting compensation. The Committee’s deliberations are therefore inherently subjective in nature and are influenced by the experience and judgment of its members. The Committee also reviews and considers annual recommendations by the CEO for adjustments in base salaries, annual incentive compensation awards, and equity grants based upon data chosen by the CEO, which may include competitive pay data gleaned from public company filings, research performed by a compensation consultant, and the CEO’s evaluation of each executive’s individual performance against goals established for such executive at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Committee processes all of this information together with its own evaluation of each executive officer’s unique capabilities and their past and expected contribution toward the Company’s performance objectives, then determines each executive officer’s base salary, annual cash incentive award, and long-term equity award. Before concluding the process, the Committee sets an aggregate target amount for the next fiscal year’s cash-based incentive bonus pool which it then accrues during the year.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Dr. Hisrich (its Chairman), Mr. Grimshaw, Mr. Siegenthaler and Mr. Tangun. The Nominating and Governance Committee met four times during the 2009 fiscal year.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, recruiting, and evaluating qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors and recommending such individuals to the Board for nomination for election as directors; evaluating director independence and the size and composition of the Board; reviewing and ratifying committee assignments recommended by the Board Chairman and submitting such recommendations to the Board for approval; considering director nominations by shareholders; reviewing related person transactions involving directors; overseeing corporate governance matters; and leading the process for succession planning.

Director Nomination Process. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s process to identify candidates for election to the Board involves requesting recommendations from members of the Board and individuals personally known to them, and from executive officers. The process for evaluating candidates includes gathering and reviewing a candidate’s biographical and background information, and personal meetings with the candidate by members of the Committee and other Board members, if appropriate. While we have not established specific minimum qualifications for a position on our Board, nominees are selected on the basis of broad experience, wisdom, integrity, understanding of our business environment, the ability to make independent analytical inquiries and the need to maintain a majority of independent members on the Board. The Committee also considers any other qualities that a candidate may possess that could add to the overall quality, diversity and skill of the Board, as well as the candidate’s ability to devote adequate time to Board duties.

Shareholder Nominations. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider board candidates proposed in good faith by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to recommend a candidate to the Committee for consideration should submit the candidate’s name and biographical information to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, c/o Mr. Ronald L. Siegenthaler, Board Chairman, XETA Technologies, Inc., 1814 West Tacoma St., Broken Arrow, OK 74012. The Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates in substantially the same manner that it evaluates candidates submitted by others. If the Board determines to nominate a candidate recommended by a shareholder, then the candidate’s name will be included in our proxy card for the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholders may also be entitled to nominate director candidates directly, without any action or recommendation on the part of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board. For nominations to be considered at next year’s annual meeting, shareholders must follow the procedures set forth in the Company’s bylaws. Under these procedures, a shareholder’s nomination must be submitted in writing which must be received by us not later than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date on which proxy materials were mailed by the Company for the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders. If the annual meeting date for which the shareholder’s nomination is submitted is scheduled for a date that is different by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the previous year’s meeting, then the shareholder’s nomination must be received no later than the 10th day following the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed to shareholders or is announced publicly. The written nomination must include the following information: (1) a brief description of the candidate to be nominated; (2) the name and record address of the shareholder; (3) the class and number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder; (4) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to make the nomination; and (5) a description of any arrangement or understanding between such shareholder and the person to be nominated by such shareholder. The notice should be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, XETA Technologies, Inc., 1814 W. Tacoma St., Broken Arrow, OK 74012.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a financial officer Code of Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and any principal accounting officer, controller and other persons who perform similar functions for the Company. A copy of this Code of Ethics is posted under Governance Documents in the Governance section on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.xeta.com.

Communications with Directors

Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or an individual director may do so by sending their correspondence in writing to XETA Technologies, Inc., Attention Board of Directors (or individual named director) at 1814 W. Tacoma St., Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74012. Any such communications will be delivered directly to the Chairman of the Board or individually named director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

None of the members of the Compensation Committee of our Board is an officer or employee of the Company. Mr. Siegenthaler, a non-voting member of the Compensation Committee, was formerly an executive vice president of the Company during the 1990’s.

No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Compensation Committee.

Mr. Forrest was appointed our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) on June 7, 2007 and has been on our Board since April 8, 2008. He has been our President since July 2005 and also served as our Chief Operating Officer from July 2005 until he became CEO. Previously he was Director of Sales over our Seattle branch sales and service operations.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The key elements of the Company’s executive compensation are base salaries; an annual incentive program; and long term equity compensation. The Company pays an annual bonus award to its executive officers and other key non-sales employees based on Company profitability and the individual performance of such officers and employees. The Compensation Committee has generally targeted a total annual bonus pool of 10% of the Company’s annual pre-tax, pre-bonus profits for the fiscal year. Although the Company did not meet this target for fiscal 2009, the Compensation Committee authorized a small, discretionary bonus pool of $90,000 to recognize the contributions and sacrifices of its CEO, CFO and other key non-sales employees. The Committee used 50% of this total bonus pool for awards to the Company’s CEO and CFO, as shown in the Summary Compensation Table below, and the remaining 50% for awards to the other key employees not included in the Table. The awards to the CEO and CFO were paid 75% in cash and 25% in shares of restricted stock valued at the market price of the Company’s

stock on the date of the award. The Committee also approved for fiscal 2009 a separate bonus award to the Company’s Executive Director of Operations, as shown in the Table below. This award was based on a separate arrangement with Mr. Comeau upon his promotion to Executive Director of Operations pursuant to which he was entitled to receive an incentive award of 25% of his annual salary if services gross profit in fiscal 2009 was between 75% and 100% of the Company’s annual operating plan for the year. The Company paid this award 75% in cash and 25% in shares of restricted stock valued at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award.

RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Jeff Siegenthaler (“J. Siegenthaler”) is the son of our Board Chairman and as such is a “related person” under SEC rules. J. Siegenthaler is employed by the Company as a sales representative and receives a base salary and commission in accordance with the Company’s standard compensation plan for all sales representatives in their respective lines of business. During fiscal 2009, J. Siegenthaler received approximately $145,000 in base salary and commissions and was among the Company’s top ten sales representatives for the fiscal year. All payments made by the Company to him were made in the ordinary course of business. Our Board Chairman does not have a material interest in this transaction.

Related Transactions Policy. We have adopted a written policy for the approval or ratification of “related person transactions.” For purposes of our policy, related person transactions include any transaction, arrangement or relationship expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year which involves the Company and any officer, director, director nominee, or persons who own in excess of 5% of the Company’s stock, or any of their respective family members. The policy requires officers and directors to annually complete a Company questionnaire designed to obtain information about potential related person transactions. Under the Company’s Corporate Code of Conduct applicable to all officers and directors, such persons have a duty to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the Company’s Chief Executive or Chief Financial Officer or to the Board. When related person transactions or potential transactions are identified by these or any other method, they are referred for review to the Nominating and Governance Committee if the transaction involves a director, or to the Audit/Finance Committee in all other cases.

The policy requires the appropriate Committee to take into account the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits of the transaction to the Company; whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party under similar circumstances; the aggregate value of the transaction; whether the transaction involves a conflict of interest; the impact the transaction could have on the independence of a director if it involves a director or an immediate family member of the director; as well as any other factors that the Committee deems appropriate to its review.

On-going related person transactions are subject to annual review under the policy. The policy also provides standing pre-approvals for the following transactions:

· compensation paid to an officer or director if approved by the Compensation Committee;

· grants of equity awards to any executive officer or director if made under the Company’s existing equity plans or future plans that receive shareholder approval;

· interests that arise solely from participation in a Company employee benefit plan that is maintained for the general benefit of all Company employees;

· interests that arise solely from stock ownership if all other owners benefit pro rata; and

· any transaction with another company if the related person’s only relationship with that company is as a non-officer employee, director or owner of less than 10% of that company.

PROPOSAL 2

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee has selected HoganTaylor, LLP (“HoganTaylor”) as the independent public accountants to perform an integrated audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. HoganTaylor, formerly known as Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP (“TTSS”), audited the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and TTSS audited the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. TTSS became HoganTaylor on January 7, 2009, when TTSS and Hogan & Slovacek, P.C. merged their operations to become HoganTaylor, LLP.

Representatives of HoganTaylor are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions. While ratification of the Company’s selection of accountants by the Company’s shareholders is not required, in the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Company’s Audit/Finance Committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit/Finance Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the appointment of HoganTaylor LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants.

(2) Relates to the audit of the Company’s 401(k) retirement plan and analysis of the FASB Interpretation No. 48 clarifying certain aspects of accounting for uncertain tax positions, including issues related to the disclosure, recognition and measurement of those tax positions.

The Audit/Finance Committee of the Board of Directors has established a written policy to pre-approve audit and non-audit related services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditor prior to engaging the auditor for such purposes. Pursuant to the policy, the Audit/Finance Committee will annually review the services and fees that the auditor may provide to the Company during the following 12 months. Following such review, the Committee will issue a statement to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as to the general services and fees that the Committee has pre-approved. The pre-approval generally extends for a period of 12 months or such shorter period as may be specifically indicated by the Committee. All other services to be performed by the auditors that are not included in the Committee’s annual pre-approval statement must be submitted to the Committee in advance for specific approval.

In certain cases, subsidiaries of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP may act as an adviser, sub-adviser and/or manager, neither Dimensional Fund Advisors LP or its subsidiaries (collectively, “Dimensional”) possess voting and/or investment power over the securities of the Issuer that are owned by the Funds, and may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of the Issuer held by the Funds. However, all securities reported in this schedule are owned by the Funds. Dimensional disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that the reporting person or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13G for any other purposes than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who hold more than ten percent (10%) of our stock, to report their initial ownership and any subsequent changes in ownership of our stock to the SEC. SEC regulations impose specific deadlines for filing these reports and we are required to disclose in this proxy statement any failure to comply with these regulations. Based on our review of these filings and the written representations of our directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders, we believe that during fiscal 2009, our directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with these exceptions: Two reports on Form 4, each reporting a single transaction for director Lee Crawley, were filed one day late; and one Form 4 transaction, relating to an annual grant of incentive compensation awards was filed one day late by each of the following persons: Greg Forrest, Robert Wagner, Paul Comeau, Tom Luce, Don Reigel and Scott Davis.
