Thread regarding Omnissa layoffs

Omnissa lost paypal

Paypal saw the light and they are pulling the plug. Annual revenue of 30 million dollars gone thanks to our distinguished management who literally have no incling of what they are doing. Tesco are on the verge of pulling the plug too.

@2pw we don’t lose customers because of lack of communication and relationships. We lose because of lack of innovation, lack of go to market strategy along with a terrible compete strategy, and a lack of trust in the market. Exec relationships is definitely something we lack in comparison to MSFT. Norlin just sits around and stares at dashboards. He doesn’t evangelize. You’re clearly a leader and a naive one along with the rest. Talk to a customer and get a clue

Maybe if you just did your job instead of blaming others, things would turn around. The only thing you can control is yourself. You will never run a marathon if you don't go for a jog and stick with it. Are you going to blame Nike because you didn't do the work? We lose customers based on relationships and communication. Grow up and do your job, or find another one. Tired of the whining.

"Microsoft and Nerdio are eating both vendors' lunch..."

I agree. Omnissa and Citrix have a lot in common. Their install bases are on the same path of constant decline, with no end in sight. Both officially consider Microsoft a partner, but that doesn't stop them from losing more and more customers to Intune.

As one who worked for Citrix for years, I could have told you this was coming. Just saw all the marketing around "App Management". Uh, Citrix and Microsoft have entire products and partner ecosystems of stuff that have been doing that for decades. The value prop is just not there anymore and Omnissa is getting to (or maybe is already at) where Citrix is today - losing huge ARR customers while claiming they are still on the bleeding edge of EUC innovation. Microsoft and Nerdio are eating both vendors' lunch, and have been scooping up seats from Omnissa's and Citrix's largest ARR customers for years. It was no coincidence that many of my biggest enterprise customers dropped Citrix and WS1 for AVD, InTune, and Nerdio. MS literally had consultants/account strategists (Field CTO's in practice) that had dedicated offices and badges at these Fortune 100 companies' HQ's for years.

Microsoft is relentless in targeting our largest customers. We can't compete with them.

We’re winning so many other new logos. Or so I’m told.

Whatever, this place is done. Amateur management, it really shows.

Losing either 3 or 30 million is still a significant amount for Omnissa to afford

PayPal does not contribute 30 million a year revenue. More like less than 3 million
