Technical debt is the accumulation of old code within outdated systems that have evolved beyond their current use. This creates significant “security vulnerabilities and barriers to innovation” Technical debt “costs the U.S. $2.41 trillion a year in cybersecurity and operational failures, failed development projects, and maintenance of outdated systems, according to a 2022 study”. Many manufacturers’ product development systems are loaded with technical debt. PTC SaaS engineering, manufacturing & service solutions can be a conduit break from some of this legacy technical debt. #windchilll #servicemax #codebeamer https://lnkd.in/gGjqrsxc

Has anyone worked with a product that has become better after the company was acquired by Private Equity (PE)? That is not my experience. PE's motivation is, by design, to maximize return on investment. Not product features, not customer satisfaction, but extracting the most money from customers at the lowest cost. Prices go up (PE gets more money). Service levels go down (PE "restructure" the workforce to save costs). Need some examples?  * Just consider the sudden changes to VMWare after acquisition as one recent example. You can trace Broadcom's ownership to PE. * SolarWinds was acquired by PE, and has since been sued by shareholders due to their failure to secure various software products leading to severe vulnerabilities. * SolarWinds is just one of many Managed File Transfer vendors getting gobbled up by money-focused companies backed by PE (GoAnywhere, Globalscape, JScape, Cerberus, MOVEit, Accelion, and Axway come to mind) * Although not specifically software, I have two more examples that are near and dear to my heart as a Texan from San Antonio: does anyone think that the current state of Whataburger and Taco Cabana are better than they were 10 years ago? Not me! You see the pattern over and over again with PE firms gobbling up popular tech firms. Often the driver is to consolidate the market -- meaning that PE, effectively, buys not just one company, but also the competitors or adjacent companies. The result? Fewer choices for consumers. Higher prices. New policies and constraints on software usage. Decreased service levels. Cost cutting that leads to vulnerabilities. The list of problems goes on. The PE Winter is coming for us all. Here at Coviant Software we are a small, family-owned, hard working group of experts that strive to deliver a great product at a great value, backed by fanatical service levels. We are proud to stand firm against the coming storm, emphasizing quality and service over squeezing out maximum profits. What are your experiences with software that has been purchased by PE (or PE-backed businesses)? Leave a comment to help others avoid the advent of "PE Winter".
