Cisco's advantages and challenges. Comparisons to Juniper, ProCurve, Brocade.
August 5, 2009
Analysis by: Michael Horsch Fizz, Senior Advisor,Cisco’s Sales Will Drop as Much as 17%, Chambers Says | www.bloomberg.com
Cisco's strengths and challenges for their first fiscal quarter and beyond can be further defined when we compare them to their competition. Juniper, HP ProCurve, Avaya, Brocade (Foundry), Nortel, 3COM are vendors that can help us define and understand Cisco. Cisco's success may very well be due to the weakness of their competition versus the strengths of Cisco. In addition, with $30 plus billion of cash they are better positioned than most.

ADOBE (ADBE) To Emerge As Dominate Unified Collaboration Player
March 6, 2009
Analysis by: Ken Kalinoski, President and General Partner,Adobe's Dominance in Internet | www.thestreet.com
Adobe is presently on 95% of all Apple and PC systems and thus has a broad landscape on which to paint its new collaboration strategy. Furthermore, the company is a recognized leader in multimedia (FLASH) and its PDF Adobe Reader products are a document standard. Some may not have noticed, but Adobe has now launched its own version of web collaboration tools - for FREE. The user interface is impressive by all standards and is on par with user interface design from Apple, and Microsoft alas. Interestingly, Adobe has now added in desktop VoIP and video in a seamless package. Wow - a company poised for leadership in the unified collaboration space at a time when we need "better collaboration" tools.

January 19, 2009
Analysis by: Mark Frye, Vice President of Sales,In a down economy, SaaS revenues rise | www.computerworld.com
