Takes aim at Kickapps and Pluck but backed by huge name While there’s plenty of market share to go around during this growth period, this is a direct insertion into the deal flow of media focused vendors like Pluck and Kickapps, so you can expect brands to be sending RFPs to Cisco’s Eos team for evaluation. While the encumbants have a track record of success and Eos doesn’t have a folder filled with case studies, they do lead with Warner Music and have launched Laura Izibor and Sean Paul (I checked the code, it’s calling Cisco EOS code), they do have two strong things going for them: 1) Cisco’s existing footprint in the enterprise, 2) The thousands in the Cisco sales force and all of their contacts. and 3) Brand recognition from the big, safe, and profitable Cisco.
Over 100 vendors in this space Indonesia Telegram Number Data Exciting times ahead, I’ve just added Cisco to the ever growing list of community platforms –it’s over 100 vendors now. Key Takeaways Great move for Cisco as it puts more ‘bits in the pipe’, as online video increases demand for their networking gear. Cisco EOS team will need to demonstrate they offer more than just technology to be successful, media companies need solution vendors –not technology vendors. Competitors now have to compete against infrastructure play and big brand backing. Cisco could drive down prices by offering Eos at bargain prices as a loss leader for other offerings.
Social Networking software is a cheap commodity and market is oversaturated, expect a shakeout during this recession. Other large infrastructure players like Sun, IBM, Microsoft, EMC, and CMS vendors will eye the community platform space for buyout –yet startups will resist during periods of low valuation. Update: Scott Brown from the EOS team has responded to me in the comments, and from the new EOS blog, he says my assessment was fair, which is of course one of the attributes I’m aiming for.
