As editorial director of this site, I should have edited the blog entry to state that the "downgraded" comment was the author's opinion rather than industry fact. We'll be more careful in the future, and we welcome the constructive criticism. Thanks for taking the time to raise your concerns/perspectives. -jp Jeannie: I’ve got some egg on my face.

TANDBERG has clearly demonstrated its commitment to open standards and interoperability since its inception and that has not changed since Oct. 1, 2009. In fact, it’s quite the contrary. In addition to launching several new standards-compliant telepresence and video conferencing product offerings, TANDBERG announced it is the first in the industry to enable high definition video between Microsoft Office Communicator and standards-based video users (http://www.tandberg.com/press_room/viewPressRelease.do?id=694). Furthermore, TANDBERG and BroadSoft extend the capabilities of their long standing joint hosted business video communications solutions to make it easier for service providers to deliver integrated voice and video solutions to customers (http://www.tandberg.com/press_room/viewPressRelease.do?id=684). TANDBERG has not slowed down, nor do we intend to. As recently as Oct. 2009, analysts at Gartner recommended that customers continue to invest in TANDBERG telepresence solutions and we are still the recognized leader in the industry for our quality and our commitment to interoperability. We, along with all of the leaders in our industry, recognize that the key to the future of video conferencing and telepresence is interoperability, and we are committed to maintaining the leadership in this space we have always shown.
