  12. Competitive DifferentiatorsReverse positioning for Systems Engineers – C-Level RESPONSE Why are you not supporting Microsoft OCS? Why would I chose CMA/CMA Desktop over TAA? How can you assure me the CMA is a scalable and reliable solution? 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 The CMA/CMA Desktop uses IT industry standards in place and proven in TODAY’S networks. And the Polycom solution is architected to grow with you when your needs for the “next-big- thing” are requested. The CMA/CMA Desktop is built on a robust and redundant server that has world wide acceptance and reliability. Also, the industry standards embraced such as enterprise directory services facilitate contains robust gatekeeping OBJECTIONS DEFENSIVE

  13. Competitive DifferentiatorsReverse positioning for Systems Engineers – IT-Level RESPONSE Why are you not supporting SIP? Why have you changed your management platform? Why does the CMA Desktop “receive-only” for HD? What can I do with my new SE200 v. 3.x? Why can’t I share my software client access with several users? I do not need to deploy thousands of desktop clients – what can Polycom offer? H.323 will maximize your investment in today’s video conferencing networks. For early deployments we will provide a H.323/SIP Gateway. The CMA has repurposed the key components of the SE200, moved them to a more powerful hardware appliance and added new capabilities 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 Most customers are not bandwidth-ready to enable HD desktop to thousands of PC users Polycom is committed to it’s customers – the SE200 has a generous migration path to the new HW. The current deployment model supports secure single user management and constant presence capability. Polycom PVX is an excellent solution for smaller deployments not requiring centralized management OBJECTIONS DEFENSIVE 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
