OBJECTIONS DEFENSIVE 1)H.323 will maximize your investment in today’s video conferencing networks. For early deployments we will provide a H.323/SIP Gateway. 2)The CMA has repurposed the key components of the SE200, moved them to a more powerful hardware appliance and added new capabilities 3)The OCS client is SIP-based and will integrate in a future release. The HDX Series of endpoints will register as an OCS client in the second half of 2008 4)Most customers are not bandwidth-ready to enable HD desktop to thousands of PC users 5)Polycom is committed to it’s customers – the SE200 has a generous migration path to the new HW. 6)The current deployment model supports secure single user management and constant presence capability. 7)Polycom PVX is an excellent solution for smaller deployments not requiring centralized management RESPONSE Key Competitive Weaknesses TANDBERG TMS Does not scale No internal Gatekeeper Less robust HW solution than CMA 4000/5000 No redundant “hot swappable” HW for fail-over Less core languages supported (3 vs. 5) Chinese Japanese English Movi Active X application Ad Hoc usage only No Directory support RADVISION Scopia Desktop Ad Hoc web-based video conferencing client – no standards based continuous presence
