Why Milestone, Why? Axis Vs Arecont
Take a look at this video:
Can anyone make a sensible case why Milestone should be partnering and promoting Arecont when they are part of the same company as Axis?
Why would you associate with Arecont when you have Axis? It's like cheating on your supermodel genius spouse with a Kardashian.
Are there really that many people demanding Arecont instead of Axis? Are there really that many things that Axis cannot do that Arecont can? Wouldn't the Canon corporation make more money more tightly coordinating Axis and Milestone than going out and promoting Arecont?
It's like cheating on your supermodel genius spouse with a Kardashian.
It's an arranged marriage none the less.
Between two of the most commercially promiscuous vendors in the business.
Remember, neither one chose the other and they both are fiercely independent.
Maybe Fujio was thinking that being so close geographically and culturally they would naturally assimilate, with little heavy-handed arm-twisting.
To make them actually work together would mean putting some management above both of them in a day to day operations capacity. How long before that happens? Maybe there's still another piece to the puzzle? (Distribution?)
Question, has Lars stated anywhere to what degree, if any, Milestone was consulted about the Axis acquisition? It would be interesting to know if he was in favor of it or not, though I doubt anyone's talking.
Because it's the 'Open Platform company' and looks to retain that ethos despite the takeover.
Even from Canon's point of view they would want this as if you take the 'open platform' value way then you p**s off 50% of your customer/partner base who likely walk away from the relationship.
As a motorcycle enthusiast, should I be offended by Schafer's comments regarding the "interesting group of people" who attend Sturgis (1:40 mark in the video)?

Ok, I get that scenario historically, but the new mom is a catch!
