Business Outlook

Pros

Solid market share Long term client base Competitive salaries Strong marketing brand Good people overall--especially in middle mgmt and Customer Relationship Team. Sales Support, Consultants, and Managed Services folks are fantastic.

Cons

New Sr. Management is making it hard to penetrate into client base. Not knowing strategic direction and or long-term viability of some products causes customers to hold back their decision to purchase. Culture is changing rapidly and is much more focused on the bottom line--short term thinking is hurting sales because customers are being treated poorly. Work load can be very heavy at times--be very aware that even though this is a privately held company owned by a Private Equity firm, there is a HUGE push to close deals ASAP since the PE firm overpaid for SGHE.
