Speaking about the 2007 Roadshows, UK Sales Manager, Graham Harris said that, “The new product and application announcements we have made to our channel partners over the past two weeks will allow them to address an even wider range desktop and mobility requirements. In addition, we have expanded our application portfolio through the addition of Callmedia 4 maximiser, which delivers all of the benefits of a sophisticated Enterprise level Call Centre to SME customers and the Spidermax Microsoft OCS Gateway. Finally, the introduction of Total Control & Total Network means that our resellers are once more leading the way in their ability to offer their customers hosted, web based applications and services, specifically developed for maximiser, on a monthly fee basis.”
“The MZA figures for Q.2 2007, which reflected SpliceCom’s 16% share of the UK IP PBX market, alongside our recently announced 39% quarter on quarter UK growth for Q.3 are clear indicators that, when combined with the Roadshow announcements, our partners are ideally placed to make significant inroads into the installed base of the traditional PBX vendors over the next 12 months,” concluded Harris.
