Comments on: With Video Conferencing Deals, Polycom in Sharp Focus http://gigaom.com/2009/11/11/polycom-vs-cisco-video-conferencing/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:31:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jebb Dykstra http://gigaom.com/2009/11/11/polycom-vs-cisco-video-conferencing/#comment-230199 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:07:38 +0000 http://gigaom.wordpress.com/?p=79410#comment-230199 Polycom has always been the #1 brand in the conference rooms w/ its “polycom” right in the middle. Now with Tandberg in the Cisco bearhug and Lifesize acq’d by Logitech, Polycom is the sole independent. But given their mkt cap compared to Tandberg, the big boys (i.e. IBM, MSFT, HP) will be circling.

With Video Conferencing at an all-time high and with unified communication and collaboration at a fever pitch, this is a very good time for a marriage. HP is most likely buyer and has been most aggressive (and also to make life difficult for CSCO and IBM). But don’t count out IBM or MSFT. Put your money on HP!!
