Would like to hear opinions on this collaboration announced today. How will it impact the industry? Is it good for both companies?
Sony Electronics Inc., and GlowPoint, Inc. announced today that they have entered into a memorandum of understanding outlining a strategic alliance for the two companies to create and launch a complete, Sony customized, user-friendly video communication solution focused on broadening the use of IP-based video in and out of traditional office environments.
The Sony service, powered by GlowPoint, will bring together Sony's state-of-the-art line of video conferencing systems with GlowPoint's patent-pending advanced IP-based video applications and network services. Together, Sony and GlowPoint aim to increase usage of traditional video conferencing systems and accelerate video communications' migration to the desktop. The two companies are also developing joint initiatives to support the growing use of IP-based video for more diverse and innovative applications, including the broadcasting production segment where Sony is a recognized leader in providing customers with advanced audio and video equipment.
