Plantronics 3Q earnings fall despite UC record revenues

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

0 Comments

VOIP News writes…

Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) Tuesday reported lower profit in its third quarter than a year ago, but still beat Wall Street’s expectations, setting UC revenue records along the way.

Net income for the quarter was $30.9 million, or 71 cents a share, down slightly from $31.6 million, or 64 cents a share a year ago. Adjusted net income was 75 cents per share, topping analyst’s forecasts of 68 cents per share, and topping last year’s adjusted income of 66 cents per share. The lower profits were primarily due to Plantronic buying back some 2.1 million shares.

Revenue, meanwhile was $183.2 million, up slightly from $181.6 million during the same period a year ago.

Plantronics said it expected a strong fourth quarter, forecasting revenue of between $175 million and $180 million for the quarter, with net income of 63-68 cents per share. Analysts expected revenue of $1877.6 million and adjusted earnings per share of 67 cents.

During yesterday’s earnings call, Ken Kannappan, Plantronics’ president and chief executive, said the company set a record in the quarter for UC revenue, which saw 90 percent growth due to rapid adoption of UC globally. The company also saw 8 percent growth in office and contact center revenue.

“We continue to see broad adoption of UC across all size of enterprises in all major geographies,” he said. “Our investments in UC continued to yield solid results. And in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we made good progress in differentiating our product line, as well as making huge strides in our corporate marketing and brand positioning.”

Need some help understanding VOIP

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

VOIP News writes…

Hello All!

Recently I was approached by a local company to work with them to improve their technical infrastructure.

I have not worked with VOIP systems before. However I have in the past setup Asterisk and was using it successfully as a dialer.

This client is waiting for a VSC VMSx switch. I’m not familiar with it but they are asking for processing/gateway integration and hardware monitoring.

So with that being said here are a few questions:

1. I have searched around for a VMSx API to be add/remove balances from calling cards, however I cannot find one. Can someone point me in the right direction?

2. Hardware monitoring, can that be setup in VMS? For example, to know when all the trunks are being filled to 90% capacity or when there is no more internet, etc.

3. I’m still confused about something. So they have this softswitch sitting in a local data center. They have clients that have gateways setup in their locations. When I worked with Asterisk, we had a switch with all the ip phones plugged into. That switch was connected to asterisk with just one cable to the secondary lan card. If I don’t understand correctly the way it should be setup is.

a. Softphone connects to a switch.
b. The switch to the gateway.

4. What about for those that already have an existing PBX or want a complete PBX setup. From what I understand there is some type of module that you can get which simply extends the PBX to make outgoing calls route through the VMS softswitch in the data center. Is it essentially also a gateway module?

Sorry for the novice questions but I really need to know the answer to these questions :)

Thanks in advance!

Citrix reports record revenue, soft outlook for 1Q12

Friday, January 27, 2012

0 Comments

VOIP News writes…

Citrix Systems (Nasdaq: CTXS) reported strong earnings this week, but the company plans to increase acquisitions in the coming year and to reorganize its sales force, which prompted the company to issue a lackluster forecast for the coming year.

Revenue across the board saw a steep increase, with the company reporting net revenues of $619.4 million in the quarter, a 17 percent increase from the $530 million it reported a year ago. GAAP net income was $108.7 million, 58 cent per share, up from $94.4 million, 49 cents per share, a year ago. The 66 cents quarterly adjusted EPS beat Wall Street estimated of 65 cents.

“Greater diversity in our products and channel, combined with a compelling vision, is driving more C-level engagement as well as more up-sell and cross-sell opportunities,” said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer for Citrix. “As a result, we are seeing more strategic deals, more use of our products as an end-to-end system, and deeper engagement with our customers through services.”

Citrix has worked to roll out more robust mobile, cloud and desktop solutions, and it has begun to pay off.

For the year, Citrix reported record revenue of $2.2 billion. Its desktop solution revenue accounted for $1.3 billion of that, 12.5 percent higher than a year ago, and included 14 percent y-o-y growth in the fourth quarter, with revenue of $369 million. Data center and cloud solutions revenue increased 29.1 percent to $385.5 million, online services revenue rose 18.6 percent to $427.7 million and revenue from other products increase 46.4 percent to $114.3 million.

Citrix said revenue increased in the America’s region by 16 percent, rose in the EMEA region by 12 percent and increased in the Pacific region by 37 percent.

For 2012, Citrix said revenue should be in the range of $2.49 billion to $2.51 billion; GAAP diluted earnings per share is targeted to be in the range of $1.88 to $1.97.

For the first quarter, expect revenue to be in the range of $555 million to $565 million with GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of 30-31 cents.

The thin first quarter results, said CFO David Henshall, come from the company’s plans to look to make acquisitions, but those deals should become accretive later in the year.

Read Martin Geddes Latest Post-Your Job My Be At Stake If You Don’t

If you haven’t read pal Martin Geddes latest post on the Future of Communications entitled Peak Telecom, you are missing something that is likely either something you have likely said, thought, heard someone say in private or really wished you had. It’s a stunningly brilliant piece of writing that leads you to wonder, “what is Martin going to say next” as you read through it.

This post is every bit as important as Alec Saunders 2005 post entitled The Voice 2.0 Manifesto in my opinion as far as laying things out or the famed Pulver Purple Minutes post. It is worthy of your time as it may impact your work or livelihood.

So everyone knows it was Martin who first suggested me and my agency to Nokia back in 2005 to help them decipher “social media” long before many knew what “social media” and blogging was really all about. That led to my development of the Nokia Blogger Relations program, and in turn gave birth to Nokia’s Social Media efforts, something I’m now finally allowed to admit after getting permission recently.

It was Martin’s clear cut thinking back then that foresaw the changing landscape of how media would impact the mobile world. Now in his post he’s laid it all out pinpointing where the changes are coming from, and further pinning the operators into the dumb pipe corner.

Video Conferencing Is Heating Up, The Established Will Be Challenged

Friday, January 27, 2012

VOIP News writes…

Image representing Scott Wharton as depicted i...Image via CrunchBase

Just as we’re seeing Over the Top (OTT) in voice and data service impacting the legacy mobile operators and telcos, there’s also a movement afoot thats going to challenge the legacy video conferencing providers like BT, Verizon, Glowpoint (I’m a shareholder) and the rest who have been in the business of white glove video conferncing services, operating exchanges or hosting bridging services.

Yesterday pal Larry Lisser, who is known in the telecom industry as the person to go to to revive sales, penned a post supportive of disruptive Silicon Valley startup, Vidtel (a Comunicano client) who are playing the channel game to open up the legacy room and desk based video conferncing system users of Polycom, Lifesize, Cisco/Tandberg gear to be able to go what founder and ex VP Marketing at Broadsoft Scott Wharton (who is now blogging) is doing with their “any to any’” video bridging service called MeetMe that is offered at downright disruptive prices that turns the whole market on its side. What Vidtel is doing is addressing the already turned on and tuned in video conferencing user base and making their rooms and desktop video systems easily accessible to CounterPath Bria and Bria mobile users, as well as those who are Skype or GoogleTalk centric.

In the post, that was aimed at getting channel oriented telecom resellers to understand why video is so important to them, Lisser points our reasons and rationale as to why the channel is now meaningful to the video conferencing market, a belief also echoed by client Telesphere who offers VideoConnect through their growing reseller partners to sell in to their enterprise customers. In the case of Telesphere they deliver Broadsoft/Polycom/Glowpoint powered video conferencing service that also offers point to point video calling on a range of devices and over the CounterPath powered Bria 3 for Broadworks softphone.

These are reseller channel sold solutions that show a deep understanding of the how to sell versus how to follow. CounterPath, Telesphere and Vidtel along with the established players in Cisco and Polycom, are all using the sales channel to sell through others, not only direct. This is not far different from how Logitech/Lifesize is taking the LifeSize Connections service, or what I call SightSpeed for Business on steroids, where they combined the best of both SightSpeed and Lifesize to bring a lightweight telepresence offering to market and are making it available through leading telecom vTailer (vertical etailer) VoIP Supply (also a Comunicano client) to reach into an already established customer base.

Larry’s premise is further underscored by ClearOne’s purchase today of Israel based VCon, thus showing the world that Polycom, long the audio turned video conferencing leader will have some new competition. ClearOne already sells through channel with companies like eBuyNow, operators of the Skype shop selling the ClearOne Chat 60, and VoIP Supply pushng both the Skype friendly consumer grade speakerphones and the more robust higher end models. Now they’ll take those same channels and follow LifeSize/Logitech’s lead and seek to propel sales through those vtailers like VoIPSupply and others.

All this leads to disruption. Skype started it, but they’re clearly not the end game any longer. Cisco and Polycom aren’t exactly sitting idle as Vidtel and Vidyo disrupt the market, nor are any executives rolling over and playing dead because of Google Hangouts. Companies like Citrix, with GoToMeeting/HD Faces are making great inroads, selling not so much through channel, but via a very strong direct marketing effort online.

What this all means is the traditional players have to change, adapt or die. It’s survival of not only the fittest any longer, but also of the fast and nimble.

English: A micro-SIM from Telia in Sweden. Sho...Image via Wikipedia

Ok. In my rush to pack for a trip to Cartagena, Columbia for a wedding I forgot to pack my SIM cutter. That meant the ease of finding a micro SIM for the iPhone and iPad would make it an adventure and given I wanted more rest than work these few days before the upcoming trade show and conference onslaught–three in four weeks in February for me, I decided to leave the i devices in the safe or use them on WiFi.

Instead I used the Smsung Google Nexus that’s pentaband and workes very well on Telefonica’s Movistar network here. 

Sadly battery life isn’t that great. Still I had connectivity. It was cheap I think I paid less than $20.00 for a weeks worth of data access, and when I needed to, I was able to teather to the Nexus.

I guess that’s the best reason. Gosh I missed the iPhone.

Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) Tuesday reported lower profit in its third quarter than a year ago, but still beat Wall Street’s expectations, setting UC revenue records along the way.

Net income for the quarter was $30.9 million, or 71 cents a share, down slightly from $31.6 million, or 64 cents a share a year ago. Adjusted net income was 75 cents per share, topping analyst’s forecasts of 68 cents per share, and topping last year’s adjusted income of 66 cents per share. The lower profits were primarily due to Plantronic buying back some 2.1 million shares.

Revenue, meanwhile was $183.2 million, up slightly from $181.6 million during the same period a year ago.

Plantronics said it expected a strong fourth quarter, forecasting revenue of between $175 million and $180 million for the quarter, with net income of 63-68 cents per share. Analysts expected revenue of $1877.6 million and adjusted earnings per share of 67 cents.

During yesterday’s earnings call, Ken Kannappan, Plantronics’ president and chief executive, said the company set a record in the quarter for UC revenue, which saw 90 percent growth due to rapid adoption of UC globally. The company also saw 8 percent growth in office and contact center revenue.

“We continue to see broad adoption of UC across all size of enterprises in all major geographies,” he said. “Our investments in UC continued to yield solid results. And in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we made good progress in differentiating our product line, as well as making huge strides in our corporate marketing and brand positioning.”

Hello All!

Recently I was approached by a local company to work with them to improve their technical infrastructure.

I have not worked with VOIP systems before. However I have in the past setup Asterisk and was using it successfully as a dialer.

This client is waiting for a VSC VMSx switch. I’m not familiar with it but they are asking for processing/gateway integration and hardware monitoring.

So with that being said here are a few questions:

1. I have searched around for a VMSx API to be add/remove balances from calling cards, however I cannot find one. Can someone point me in the right direction?

2. Hardware monitoring, can that be setup in VMS? For example, to know when all the trunks are being filled to 90% capacity or when there is no more internet, etc.

3. I’m still confused about something. So they have this softswitch sitting in a local data center. They have clients that have gateways setup in their locations. When I worked with Asterisk, we had a switch with all the ip phones plugged into. That switch was connected to asterisk with just one cable to the secondary lan card. If I don’t understand correctly the way it should be setup is.

a. Softphone connects to a switch.
b. The switch to the gateway.

4. What about for those that already have an existing PBX or want a complete PBX setup. From what I understand there is some type of module that you can get which simply extends the PBX to make outgoing calls route through the VMS softswitch in the data center. Is it essentially also a gateway module?

Sorry for the novice questions but I really need to know the answer to these questions :)

Thanks in advance!

Citrix Systems (Nasdaq: CTXS) reported strong earnings this week, but the company plans to increase acquisitions in the coming year and to reorganize its sales force, which prompted the company to issue a lackluster forecast for the coming year.

Revenue across the board saw a steep increase, with the company reporting net revenues of $619.4 million in the quarter, a 17 percent increase from the $530 million it reported a year ago. GAAP net income was $108.7 million, 58 cent per share, up from $94.4 million, 49 cents per share, a year ago. The 66 cents quarterly adjusted EPS beat Wall Street estimated of 65 cents.

“Greater diversity in our products and channel, combined with a compelling vision, is driving more C-level engagement as well as more up-sell and cross-sell opportunities,” said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer for Citrix. “As a result, we are seeing more strategic deals, more use of our products as an end-to-end system, and deeper engagement with our customers through services.”

Citrix has worked to roll out more robust mobile, cloud and desktop solutions, and it has begun to pay off.

For the year, Citrix reported record revenue of $2.2 billion. Its desktop solution revenue accounted for $1.3 billion of that, 12.5 percent higher than a year ago, and included 14 percent y-o-y growth in the fourth quarter, with revenue of $369 million. Data center and cloud solutions revenue increased 29.1 percent to $385.5 million, online services revenue rose 18.6 percent to $427.7 million and revenue from other products increase 46.4 percent to $114.3 million.

Citrix said revenue increased in the America’s region by 16 percent, rose in the EMEA region by 12 percent and increased in the Pacific region by 37 percent.

For 2012, Citrix said revenue should be in the range of $2.49 billion to $2.51 billion; GAAP diluted earnings per share is targeted to be in the range of $1.88 to $1.97.

For the first quarter, expect revenue to be in the range of $555 million to $565 million with GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of 30-31 cents.

The thin first quarter results, said CFO David Henshall, come from the company’s plans to look to make acquisitions, but those deals should become accretive later in the year.

If you haven’t read pal Martin Geddes latest post on the Future of Communications entitled Peak Telecom, you are missing something that is likely either something you have likely said, thought, heard someone say in private or really wished you had. It’s a stunningly brilliant piece of writing that leads you to wonder, “what is Martin going to say next” as you read through it.

This post is every bit as important as Alec Saunders 2005 post entitled The Voice 2.0 Manifesto in my opinion as far as laying things out or the famed Pulver Purple Minutes post. It is worthy of your time as it may impact your work or livelihood.

So everyone knows it was Martin who first suggested me and my agency to Nokia back in 2005 to help them decipher “social media” long before many knew what “social media” and blogging was really all about. That led to my development of the Nokia Blogger Relations program, and in turn gave birth to Nokia’s Social Media efforts, something I’m now finally allowed to admit after getting permission recently.

It was Martin’s clear cut thinking back then that foresaw the changing landscape of how media would impact the mobile world. Now in his post he’s laid it all out pinpointing where the changes are coming from, and further pinning the operators into the dumb pipe corner.

Just as we’re seeing Over the Top (OTT) in voice and data service impacting the legacy mobile operators and telcos, there’s also a movement afoot thats going to challenge the legacy video conferencing providers like BT, Verizon, Glowpoint (I’m a shareholder) and the rest who have been in the business of white glove video conferncing services, operating exchanges or hosting bridging services.

Yesterday pal Larry Lisser, who is known in the telecom industry as the person to go to to revive sales, penned a post supportive of disruptive Silicon Valley startup, Vidtel (a Comunicano client) who are playing the channel game to open up the legacy room and desk based video conferncing system users of Polycom, Lifesize, Cisco/Tandberg gear to be able to go what founder and ex VP Marketing at Broadsoft Scott Wharton (who is now blogging) is doing with their “any to any’” video bridging service called MeetMe that is offered at downright disruptive prices that turns the whole market on its side. What Vidtel is doing is addressing the already turned on and tuned in video conferencing user base and making their rooms and desktop video systems easily accessible to CounterPath Bria and Bria mobile users, as well as those who are Skype or GoogleTalk centric.

In the post, that was aimed at getting channel oriented telecom resellers to understand why video is so important to them, Lisser points our reasons and rationale as to why the channel is now meaningful to the video conferencing market, a belief also echoed by client Telesphere who offers VideoConnect through their growing reseller partners to sell in to their enterprise customers. In the case of Telesphere they deliver Broadsoft/Polycom/Glowpoint powered video conferencing service that also offers point to point video calling on a range of devices and over the CounterPath powered Bria 3 for Broadworks softphone.

These are reseller channel sold solutions that show a deep understanding of the how to sell versus how to follow. CounterPath, Telesphere and Vidtel along with the established players in Cisco and Polycom, are all using the sales channel to sell through others, not only direct. This is not far different from how Logitech/Lifesize is taking the LifeSize Connections service, or what I call SightSpeed for Business on steroids, where they combined the best of both SightSpeed and Lifesize to bring a lightweight telepresence offering to market and are making it available through leading telecom vTailer (vertical etailer) VoIP Supply (also a Comunicano client) to reach into an already established customer base.

Larry’s premise is further underscored by ClearOne’s purchase today of Israel based VCon, thus showing the world that Polycom, long the audio turned video conferencing leader will have some new competition. ClearOne already sells through channel with companies like eBuyNow, operators of the Skype shop selling the ClearOne Chat 60, and VoIP Supply pushng both the Skype friendly consumer grade speakerphones and the more robust higher end models. Now they’ll take those same channels and follow LifeSize/Logitech’s lead and seek to propel sales through those vtailers like VoIPSupply and others.

All this leads to disruption. Skype started it, but they’re clearly not the end game any longer. Cisco and Polycom aren’t exactly sitting idle as Vidtel and Vidyo disrupt the market, nor are any executives rolling over and playing dead because of Google Hangouts. Companies like Citrix, with GoToMeeting/HD Faces are making great inroads, selling not so much through channel, but via a very strong direct marketing effort online.

What this all means is the traditional players have to change, adapt or die. It’s survival of not only the fittest any longer, but also of the fast and nimble.
