<div>They have almost perfectly complementary product lines, and for the most part where there's overlap, there is a clear winner.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Scheduling/Resource Management - TMS over CUVC-M any day of the week</div>
<div>MCU - Codian over the OEM radvision solution by far; rior to Tandberg acquiring Codian they [Codian] had already demonstrated SCCP integration w/ CUCM as a media resource to enable multi-point desktop conferencing, they just weren't licensing and releasing the feature to customers.</div>
<div>Desktop Video - Movi and CUVA is a toss-up in my book, but I don't have much experience with the Movi client</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the rest of the line, Cisco has no small room-based video options (the CTS-500 doesn't count), so that's a natural Tandberg fit. When it comes to Telepresence (T3/CTS-3000) it's a bit of a toss-up and is going to come down to interoperability plain and simple as well as keeping existing customers happy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Note: my personal opinions only - it'll be an interesting few months once the acquisition actually completes.</div>

<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Honestly I think that cisco will purchase them and keep them separate for a while.
<div><br></div>
<div>However they are purchasing them so that they have a full Video Conferencing solution. This makes them the #1 player in the market. On top of that Tandberg has one of the largest install bases that you can then convert over to Telepresence.</div>

<div>My question is, will they buy it to kill it? or will they keep it like Linksys? or will they use the technology and add it to the ASA ;-)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have been very happy with Tandberg in the past. I guess I will have to wait and see what they do with it.</div>
