Above are often the questions we are asked about Splicecom and answering them is normally the best introduction to the company and the product.
The start of Splicecom
To explain who is behind Splicecom and where it has come from it is best to start with a history lesson in Telecoms:
Approx 14 years ago a group of networking people started a new company called Network Alchemy. The idea was to make a system that integrated with the PC network and provide telephony control for users PC’ s in conjunction with the phone.
The Network Alchemy system
The key designer of the Alchemy was Sean Harding and Robin Hayman.
The product was launched in 1997 and took the market by storm.
Within 12 months of launching the product SDX Business systems bought Network Alchemy.
SDX Business Systems PLC
SDX Business System Grew from 8 million @ it’s inception to 60 million turnover in 1998 and had become the UK’s largest supplier of telephones system with the Index and Network Alchemy range of system.
The key business drivers & shareholders of SDX were Jeremy Cooke & Frank Bretherton.
In June 06 1998 Lucent Technologies bought SDX Business system for 124 million.
Lucent which itself was a spin off from A T & T were one of the largest suppliers of phone system in the world.
Avaya
Lucent spun off its enterprise networking group on Sept. 30, 2000, distributing shares of the new company - Avaya Inc. - to Lucent shareholders.
Avaya rebadged the Network Alchemy system and called it the IP office system and today the IP office is Avaya flagship product globally for the SME market.
Splicecom the reformed partnership

In 2001 Splicecom was started by the key people that had designed Network and also grown and floated SDX.
They had been behind the two most successful UK voice and data convergence companies of the 1990's - SDX Business Systems and Network Alchemy.
With a clean sheet of paper on which to design such a 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, data or video, to deliver unique and tangible business benefits.
