Like the Executive at the head said when he arrived , down the road in few years will be time to look at the approach. What about now?
Tired of 13 max slides per simplistic deck? Or tired of a management that is still not understanding the context? Why is no one buying Verifone , as there are a lot of efforts on this approach?
Services , services, services.... yes . But who wants to buy a payment terminal manufacturer now? The former Ingenico is for sale, worldpay is much bigger than Verifone and Pax is busy with the FBI... Even the Taiwanese Castles is not finding a buyer... So it is time to explain to top people that a niche market protected by PCI PTS is not like a CableTV box like they were used to.
Nobody is stupid enough to enter the market of payment terminal right now, and any id--t getting in it would have better targets than Verifone: Ingenico, Pax, ...
So now time to say that the strategy did not work.
Last point with major tech experts and customers gone (let s not talk about support people shall we) , how is life now?
Hapoy holidays and keep looking for a buyer.
