On a scale of 1-10 how much of a cr-p shower will it be?

@d6 agreed with everything you said. Although I wouldn’t call her messaging ‘amateur’ as I’m sure she wanted to make it very clear what she thought of us. And the fact that we are now openly mentioning Veeva and constantly talking about beating them shows that we’re very much a company that is on the defensive.
The commentators in the other thread held out hope that the new life sciences CEO would be the change agent that we needed. Well, I think we can put those hopes to bed. She has a very low opinion of Medidata and she alienated a lot of people with her amateur messaging, e.g. "Medidata on its own isn't competitive in the market". 3DS is bringing her in to "fix" Medidata so she is going to be brutal and will spare no survivors.
What is also clear is that they intend to merge us with ArisGlobal (whose CEO ki-led any energy left in the room). But hey, we're back to flat again and projecting growth in the next quarter. Anyone else having deja vu?
