Based on the information we have given, what
would you recommend?
11

• And the winner is
• Polycoms VSX 8000
• From our analysis we find it clear that the best
  choice for PetPro is the VSX 8000
• Both products met all mandatory requirements, but
  we feel that with Polycom we get hardware
  specific software to get the best out of our
  purchase

From the pivot chart report we can clearly see
that Polycoms VSX 8000 is the stronger product.

• Implementation
• If PetPro were to choose the video conferencing
  technology we strongly recommend that they work
  with Polycom Inc. implement this technology
• We would also recommend that they use Polycoms
  VSX 8000 hardware and the supplied software
• PetPro management will work closely with Nestle
  representatives, IS/Datacom/Telecom division and
  Polycom consultants to ensure that PetPro got the
  most out of their investment
