You touched on this one Friday.
It’s my personal Favorite
“Okay, look. I’ve made several statements over the past year concerning certain product releases, as well as partnerships with some of the very large players in the space, and I want to reiterate that it is my intention to deliver on every one of them. But I’ve given people the impression that I’ve overpromised and underdelivered. Well, the fact is this. We’ve made some very well thought-through strategic decisions with input from some of the brightest people in the industry, in putting together our current product growth map, which obviously needed to change after we completed the acquisition of Sound Concepts, because with that acquisition came a whole new menu of value-creating opportunities, and we needed to analyze each one and prioritize really carefully. We’ve done that, and I’m very confident in the choices that we’ve made, and that we’ve been implementing and executing. Yes, we’ve shuffled releases of certain products around, because it was the smart thing to do, and the best allocation of our resources. It’s a process that every company goes through. It’s terribly short-sighted to mistake or assume that a change in the launch date of any particular product is the result of some failure on our part. It’s really quite the contrary.
Look. We have a much stronger experienced Management team, a world-class advisory Board by anyone’s standards, with far greater decision-making capabilities, and a development team 49 strong that is light-years ahead of the offshore developers we had when we were trying to stretch every dollar. Look, I don’t want to disparage anyone, but we are a far, far better company in every way than we were in 2017 and 2018, especially on the development side.
With respect to Microsoft, among other partners, I want to make sure that I set very clear expectations. Okay? It’s my intention to deliver and deliver big, but I’m not going to talk any more about it until it’s released. I’ll let the facts speak for themselves. Don’t believe anything that you hear or read on this topic, as there’s so much disinformation out there, you’d think this was a presidential election. Look. When it’s ready, you’ll hear from me directly and not til then.”
