It’s not a big secret that software companies produce software, right? And it takes an army of highly skilled and well-paid software developers to make it.
So where is the software we‘re making and where is the army of well-paid developers??

Meanwhile other software companies are starting their entry-level developers at well over 6 figures, right out of college. If WIN can’t compete with those salaries, there’s no chance of them attracting any talent.
If this doesn't work (It probably won't), TT has another brilliant idea. Selling hot dogs on the side of the road.

With skilled people leaving, it is only a matter of time before something causes the 'software' to crash - and the 'software' support the company has been left with will take a while to resolve it!
Cutting costs/outsourcing groups? Have fun getting things fixed, and customers will flee to competitors with deeper pockets for support groups. Lol
Learn to code.

It’s all distraction and sleight of hand. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
It’s interesting that our CEO and CIO spend a lot of time focusing on the “how” of making software - agile, microservices, DevOps, etc. Has anyone ever heard them talk about the “what”? What will the software were making actually do and how will we make a profit from it.
A majority of those broadview developers are in fact outsourced, they are in India.
Software powehouse? windstream is still pushing DSL. Bays worth of dslams still active all over the place. Start shutting down all the paradynes and maybe I can take you seriously haha
Most of the company's software developers came on board during the Broadview acquisition.
As far as I know, most of their work has been done developing customer-facing portals and applications. The new Kinetic My-Fi app, for example (Which, btw, appears to be pretty slick).
No doubt outsourced.
