Thread regarding Sungard Availability Services layoffs

Cortez and One positive guy appear to be one in the same from previous posts... OPG, weigh in here.... it always is interesting reading....

"Totally convinced OPG is a troll..."

from @YY6A3P6-bxv

Agreed. Only a troll would create an entire thread about himself. This guy is a wack job drowned in his ego. He writes 5 paragraphs, each starting with “I am...”, which underscores his self-importance, yet he's babbling vague BS.

This other poster at another thread is spot on about OPG:

“He does it [trolling this layoff site] because he's a mo--n. Only a mo--n would deliver a pep-talk/townhall-type schtick on a layoff site. A layoff site! Everybody here has either been laid-off, or has left on their own, or thinking of splitting because the company is collapsing. So only a profound mo--n would deliver such a tired schtick to this audience.

The other explanation: he's your garden-variety manic depressive, most likely an SGAS manager, trolling this site because it's the only place where he could feel (at least in his mind) a tad more precious in the world. It does make for a good laugh to see how a deranged Sungard manager is having a meltdown right before us.”

'...we ensure uptime of applications through accessibility to secure data and infrastructure in a cost conscious model provided across both singular and heterogeneous environments...'

Totally convinced OPG is a troll...

I will say - if you are a CSP, you're in a precarious position. When I started at SG, management was dedicated to retention. I worked with CSPs and I worked directly with customers. At that time, I managed every concern the customer had and I was proud of my work. Then, when revenue wained, the model providing dedicated support was abandoned because it wasn't profitable. I should've left then - but I stayed - you know, the economy and all at the time.

There are a lot of employees who want to provide real service to our customers. Unfortunately SG is focussed on stats. If the stat's don't look right, then obviously there's a problem. SG customers want a real support experience - they don't want someone looking at an issue and saying 'yeah, not in the contract' or giving the most obvious answer in order to close an issue in 10 days.

I stated this in another post. SunGard is a management driven company as opposed to a technology driven company. There's so much focus on stats that the bottomline gets lost - is the customer happy? Basically - no - they aren't happy. The reason:

• when you cut costs to a skeleton crew you're going to get what you pay for

• when you set hard targets to address an issue, people will adapt

I've often thought about the services SunGard provides and I honestly think the company would be more profitable with a total co-lo model providing no post-deployment support. SG has been over-selling for years - customers are catching on . You can sell a customer the moon - can you back it up? Doubtful - and I've been here 14 yrs - I'm not pulling your leg.

Bruh, that's Joe Biden's latest campaign slogan, not our value prop

LMFAO!!!!!

Value prop?

Focus on ensuring resilience of your workloads based on criticality and delivered in a consumable model. More specifically we ensure uptime of applications through accessibility to secure data and infrastructure in a cost conscious model provided across both singular and heterogeneous environments.

Positive you will still have something negative to say,

One Positive Guy.

You also cannot respond to facts..... if you are truly an exec, guiding direction, then sgas is done. Btw - for the 4th time, what is the compelling sgas value proposition...???
