Net new customers - Growth

The shenanigans and morale is snakes belly low. Attracting new customers is very challenging and I will tell you why the products look legacy in the first 5 mins of a demo (you're toast already but the client does not tell you). PMs in non core products that are staying stop adding new features. For the next 12 months make the interface look appealing and that is it(there is enough functionality) and integrate. The products as they look currently do not sell. Our current install base are used to it(as our pms) , net new it is hard no from minute 5.

This has always been an issue. The PMs here are walking disasters. eDocs got turned into Windows 12 Metro interface long after MS has dropped it because nobody liked it. That PM had all the imagination of a pot of stale coffee.

Agreed 100%. Keep the vibe of legacy so the client doesn't think it's just a shiny new toy but also make it look like it wasn't installed with a CD and dial up internet

Lots of the solutions are embarrassing to look at they just scream legacy. On demos(have not seen solution before) I watch to see their reaction and if you know you know. PMs adding new features is an absolute waste of time. Stop adding new features and make the solutions look modern, anything else is trying to polish a tu-d.
