Harmonic/Omneon Acquisition Likely To Be "Prelude To Further Deals," Says Strategy Analytics/D.I.S.

Boston, MA - May 13, 2010 – Harmonic Inc.’s planned $274m acquisition of media server and storage specialist Omneon confirms forecasts that the recovery in the professional media industry is under way, according to a report just published by the Media Production and Distribution Strategies service of Strategy Analytics and D. I. S. Consulting. The report, “Harmonic Acquires Omneon: Impact, Challenges and Next Steps,” also concludes that further deals should be expected from Harmonic as it seeks to add further capabilities.

“Regardless of Harmonic’s clear leadership position in encoding, they could have still been viewed pretty narrowly as a solutions provider for only a relatively small slice of the broadcast and professional work flow,” says Douglas I. Sheer, Chief Analyst at D. I. S. Consulting. “With the addition of Omneon, they are able to greatly broaden their solutions offerings in a very – no pun intended – harmonious way, that builds on their already established strengths in the post-production part of their customers’ operations.”

The report suggests that, in spite of strong synergies, there will still be challenges for the new venture around issues such as developing common pricing strategies, managing workforce evolution and meeting the changing expectations of the customer base. But the strong financial performance of both players suggests that they will continue to play a leading role in the wider industry consolidation which is expected as market recovery continues.
