I really like having my equipment in the office able to run with different brands and vendors. Very few companies offer this as an option but I wish they were legally made to. I have found that not every company makes the best of everything that they produce so I like to buy from different vendors occasionally. The same holds true for our video conferencing equipment and I truly am happy with the Tandberg line because I can run different applications and hardware off of it when I need to. I just have to make sure that my other equipment is compatible with other brands as well.
