Pros
* A lot of Oracle influence that has brought new ideas, vision, structure, and credibility with Wall Street, Industry Analysts, and experts within the technology market. * The culture has transformed since Charles joined in 2010 (in a very positive way. Ex: Any employee can receive sales commission if they help find a deal. Janitors? Yep. R&D? Yep. Consultants? Yep) * Focus is on execution and rewarding people that drive change (customer satisfaction, and financial success) * New products launches have been well received (Cloud) * The talent is getting younger with more passion (look no further than the recently hired SVPs from Oracle) * Inspirational Leaders from Oracle are showing up that are well aligned with Duncan, Stephan and Charles. * The company is on the up and up.
Kontras
* Many disparate product lines (e.g. Product roadmaps) * Many disparate sales teams (need more industry units) * A lot of legacy Infor/SSA/EXE employees are burned out. What about the IPO?
