The HPL Interview: Bob Hagerty, Chairman and CEO of Polycom

Back


The HPL is proud to release the first in a series of interviews covering the emerging telepresence industry for our upcoming multimedia publication, Telepresence Options 2008. We sat down with Polycom Chairman and CEO Bob Hagerty in San Diego to talk about Polycom's telepresence offering: The Polycom RPX, backwards compatibility with traditional videoconferencing, and where telepresence is heading at Polycom.

Frequent visitors to the Lab will notice that, through a partnership with our friends at TechnologyEvangelist.com, we have substantially improved our video production quality. We are now shooting in HD and distributing in HD as well. Just another of the never ending and continuous improvement that you can expect from the Human Productivity Lab.

No matter how you slice it, these guys couldn't give a rat's ass about interoperability. If they did, they would have put a H.239 (Standards-based Content) patch out to their older codec lines, which people still use. I have a $60K Polycom investment sitting in a room that will not put content out when connecting to a Codian because the content mode used on the VS4000 is proprietary to Polycom and Codian is std based. Stay away from their MCU's as well. For the money, they are a ripoff.

Great Financials, Increasing Services Revenue and mix product line gaining market share in oversea companies. I'm buying some stock next week due to the decline due to Economical factors. Middle of 2008 towards election, this stock is gonna take off over. By the end of 2008, this stock price should be well over 30 dollars per share.
