Peter Radizeski
Rad-Info president Peter Radizeski transacts with AppDirect as a result of it acquiring one of his TSDs.
He said he doesn’t understand the acquisition.
“As an AppSmart partner, it has been challenging to place telco orders. It seems to me that the strategy there is marketplace, and [not caring] about telco,” Radizeski told Channel Futures. “OK, so why buy TBI? Maybe they got a good deal. Maybe it gives them topline revenue. But what did they really buy?
“If it is a relationship business (and it is), that doesn’t scale. There was a big reduction in force recently – and probably more to come because ‘synergies.’ This deal was no secret and took so long that the underlying business of TBI was hurt by it. They lost people, partners and deals.”
