The Challenge of Software Changes:

Keeping Pace with New Players:

The WFM landscape is a bustling marketplace with new entrants popping up year after year. Staying updated and discerning which platforms are worth your consideration has become a daunting task. Moreover, the risk of new players being absorbed by legacy giants adds another layer of complexity to the decision-making process.

Navigating Leadership Changes:

Leadership changes within software providers can be incredibly challenging. Imagine having to retrain your vendor’s account manager repeatedly due to constant employee turnover. It’s frustrating when the vision and promises made by one set of leaders vanish with their departure, only to be replaced by new faces with new strategies.

This continuity ensures that your client relationships remain uninterrupted, and you won’t have to repeatedly adapt to new leadership styles.

Dealing with Stagnant Platforms:

Occasionally, the challenge doesn’t lie in platforms changing too much, but rather in them changing too little. Large legacy players may lack the features and functions that you urgently require for your new processes and projects, leaving you stuck with a system that falls short of your needs.
