model and competitive positioning drove strategies that enabled
Siberlogic to establish key design wins with Fortune 100 customers

played a vital role in transforming an R&D, project-oriented
business into a market-focused operation with a 30x revenue increase

launch of several OEM products based on fiber optic technology.
The company was ultimately acquired by the industry leader, JDS
Uniphase.
