RE: Change management systems

Not even short term profit though. I know of a company (who shall remain
nameless) that was in negotiation to buy Turnover when the price hike
happened. They tried to insist on the new fee structure despite a written
agreement being in place (not a signed contract, but close enough). They
were then told 'you have two options...'. Unsurprisingly they decided to
offer the old fee structure.

I know of another company in a similar situation who allegedly told them
to get stuffed (and then bought a competitor product).

I am also led to believe that those who took a hike may not necessarily
have been in a hiking mood, but were told that hiking was compulsory.

They seem to have shot themselves in the foot.

Short term profit and long term loss. Seems to be the norm today.

Pretty much, since the new ownership jacked up the maintenance fees
through
the roof.

I think a bunch of folks who worked there also took a hike.
