@t9d there ain't many left to ask...haha. this thread is very quiet suddenly.
@t81 Ask your contacts at Calabrio what it has been like since TB acquired them.
@szc this is just obvious analyst stuff...anyone on here got the real scoop? reddit will say 20% reduction right away, 35-40% within a year per the usual bravo playbook
@skv "As Thoma Bravo is a highly successful software-focused private equity firm with a well-defined acquisition playbook, the opening chapter is expected to include cost-cutting and efficiency gains. For Thoma Bravo, this acquisition isn't about rescuing underperforming assets; it's about creating a more profitable and focused company through scale efficiencies. Both Calabrio and Verint have historically operated lean, but their portfolios have heavy product overlap across quality assurance (QA), automated quality management (AQM), recording, analytics, surveying, workforce management (WFM), and more. Thoma Bravo’s early moves will almost certainly center on eliminating duplication and consolidating overhead, administrative, and marketing activities while tightening R&D and go-to-market budgets."
Any insight?
@p0t Storm clouds are gathering.
so what are we thinking? end of the fiscal year/Feb 1?
@j9a feels like BAU right now
The clock is ticking louder and louder after today's announcement.
crickets
This aged like milk .
Thoma Bravo will cut at least 15% of Verint's headcount within 6 months of the acquistion close.
You say that but.
