Information on Cisco/TANDBERG Deal

Update: 12/4/09
TANDBERG Presentation on Cisco

Dear Partners,  

It’s official, Cisco will go ahead with the acquisition of TANDBERG! 89% of TANDBERG shareholders have accepted Cisco’s offer, and Cisco has decided to go ahead at that level, waiving its 90% condition. This announcement means that Cisco and TANDBERG, with our partners, will change the way people communicate and collaborate.  

A cornerstone of success for both companies has been the channel community. You have each demonstrated a strong commitment to TANDBERG and your customers.  By joining with Cisco, together we can achieve our Vision faster and provide greater innovation to your customers.  

The market, the press and the video community agree on the value that you bring to this acquisition:  

“Tandberg has very strong sales partners in videoconferencing that Cisco will benefit from.”             
 – Wainhouse Research 

"Because legacy Cisco partners and Tandberg partners are coming to the channel with different specialties, they are unlikely to be in direct competition. I think the partners can actually complement each other.”                               
– Janet Waxman, IDC 

"The merger of the two companies will likely create an unstoppable force…This acquisition validates that video communications is well on its way to becoming a key enterprise communications application all the way from desktop to telepresence.”   
– Frost & Sullivan

"[Tandberg] is not only the market leader in videoconferencing gear, but it’s by far the hottest player in the market—not only with the mid-tier conference room systems that are the bulk of the industry, but also for high-end telepresence systems."      
 – BusinessWeek

What happens now?
Since October 1st, we have not let the acquisition news slow us down – on the contrary momentum is building fast. In the last few weeks alone, we have launched new endpoints and infrastructure products, continued to invest in great people by building out our sales force, introduced new tools for partners and posted our strongest quarterly revenues. We will continue to deliver new products and tools to all of you and we will not miss a beat.

Until the transaction closes, it is business as usual, but there has never been a better time for all of us to double down! Let’s spend the time to close preparing for the next evolution of our partnership. Continue to invest in growing your business, building your competency and expanding into new markets. Then get ready to capitalize on this exciting new chapter in our company's history!
