#Cisco kills #Umi ... but is it #enough to save Cisco

http://allthingsd.com/20120104/cisco-kills-umi-video-conferencing-product/

Sure..I know Umi was not going to hurt Cisco..even if they would have funded the product without customers for the next decade. But...its just another sign that Cisco is too bloated and too slow. Sure..they did the right thing... but wow... 1. they should have never wasted the time if they had really analyzed the market and 2) once they realized it was a failure they should have more quickly killed the product.   I made suggestion back in June they do this..but it took them until January.

That means that the company is too spread out with too many layers to be effective.

Is your #network fragile?

Was thinkng this morning about comments ive gotten sometimes from customers about not wanting to risk their network with a second vendor.

That there was risk in doing so.

Here's my question im going to start asking back.  If there is risk...Is that because your network is fragile?  Why do you have a solution from a vendor that is so fragile..It cant interop?  The risk then isnt with having two vendors...Its with the one you have.

#Cloud based #VideoConferencing from #BlueJeans

I cant imagine hosting meeting any other way.  BJN has not only made the user experience simple... but I dont need to own any of the backend mcus, schedulers, management software, or gateways.

And... best thing... since I need to talk to many people from many different companies that I dont need to worry about THEIR technology.  Tandberg, Polycom, Lifesize... or they can use Skepe and soon Google Talk... its a no brainer.  You'd have to be on a desert island to not be able to use BlueJeans!
