      It was a wonderful company until Datatel took over SGHE and ruined the company

      Pros

      Very few good reasons left

      Cons

      Management, particularly at the HR and CFO levels are a major downgrade from the old SGHE leadership. Ron Lang had his flaws, but he shines in comparison to John Speer. Decisions about staff and staffing levels are made by Bain, rather than who is best qualified to occupy the position. Outdated products need updates.
