Another example of a company with asset barriers is Varian Medical Systems, the leading provider of radiation therapy systems used in the treatment of cancer. Varian’s competitive barriers are twofold: proprietary IP and a robust feedback loop with customers. Varian’s technological expertise, combined with a clear understanding of its customers’ operating realities, has allowed it to develop a superior clinical value proposition with advanced technical features, seamless system integration, ease of use, and quality customer service delivered at competitive prices. As a result, Varian has been able to dominate its niche with an estimated 60 percent share of the overall radiation treatment systems market. See Table 6.5 for financial information on Varian.
