System integrators

Splicecom

SpliceCom helps all companies, irrespective of size, to gain a business advantage over their competitors through the deployment of advanced communication solutions. Based in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire.

SpliceCom was founded in 2001, with the sole aim of developing and bringing to market a flexible and affordable Business Telephony system to meet the ever more demanding and sophisticated communication needs demanded by today's business.

SpliceCom was founded by the management and key personnel behind the two most successful UK voice and data convergence companies of the 1990's - SDX Business Systems and Network Alchemy.

CEO/Managing Director Sean Harding was the founder of both ISDN Router specialist Scorpion Logic and Network Alchemy, where he was supported by Product Marketing Director Robin Hayman. SpliceCom co-founded Frank Bretherton and Jeremy Cooke, were the men who, in seven years grew SDX from a £8m loss making, Management Buy Out from STC to a near £60m business, floated on the UK Stock Market in 1996 and subsequently acquired by Lucent Technologies for £124m.

As a 21st Century company, with the luxury of clean sheet of paper on which to design a modern telephone system, SpliceCom, has been able to take advantage of the latest innovations in silicon based technology to deliver up-to-the-minute advances in customer handling and interaction. These benefits have previously only been within the reach of Blue Chip organisations with large budgets that are a pre-requisite for the system integration required to make this possible. Needless to say, SpliceCom have not suffered from the design and marketing handicaps imposed on traditional PBX manufacturers, allowing them to deliver a system which is capable of combining information, be it by voice, video or web-enabled IT applications to deliver unique and tangible business benefits in a cost-effective manner.
