To round of an exiting day, everyone retired to the SpliceCom Casino where over £500 was raised for Children in Need.
Speaking about The Event 2006, UK Sales Manager, Graham Harris said, "Two years on from our inaugural Event I can see the maximiser channel maturing in line with the maximiser product. The resellers were highly excited about the product developments that were announced and the supporting "GoSip" (Go Splicecom IP) marketing program. 2007 will see maximiser resellers fully equipped to address the SIP IP trunking opportunity whist at that same time accommodating the transitional needs of large PBX users and small branch offices. The resellers were delighted by solutions demonstrated to allow them to address the exposed INDeX and Network Alchemy bases. All in all there were plenty of topics for our partners to "GoSip" about long into the night!"
