Thanks Cary for an insightful and, frankly, very different interview. It reaffirms the fact that EPSON will have to convince all OEMs of equipment that Fiery is indeed encapsulated in Chinese wall. With that they may have the whole market — low-end through mid-range and up to the very high-end — open to Fiery. The investment banking gentlemen hinted that EPSON sees value also in Fiery’s know how and tech capabilities in s/w and h/w, so getting their view on Nov 1st, which may outline areas outside of print that EPSON/Fiery will go after, is becoming very interesting.
The Chinese Wall part is tough; I know it from my experience from when Xerox acquired XMPie. EPSON and Fiery will have to work hard at it, all the time.
