Thank you for your feedback. The current state in our Profession Services team is such that there is little ambiguity in terms of priorities and objectives. Annual individual scorecards include individual employee goals and objectives for each year. These are reviewed at least quarterly one-to-one with the Director of Professional Services. I'm sorry to hear that you did not have clarity on this. With reference to the aging tech stack, it is true that elements of our solution are built on tried and true technology, however we routinely assess technologies and ensure that what we are building uses the best tech for the development. We are in the process of transitioning our tech stack and are actively adopting AI technologies, which will enable Windward to develop solutions for our customers faster and more effectively with quality in mind. Thank you for your feedback!

Pros

Longevity in business. Strong parent company. Upward mobility. Shared financial success. Remote work.

Cons

We were previously owned by an individual whose culture is still remembered by some. Those wounds are still healing.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Windward Software has been around for over 40 years and we are grateful to our customers for their patronage and to our employees for believing in what we do and contributing to our longevity. Culture is a difficult thing to change. We want to retain the people who have built the business over so many years and who continue to contribute great work. Senior leadership has changed, but as you have said, memories and mindsets, including old biases take time transform and we have to routinely check our biases and listen. Customers are critical to Windward Software's success. We must continue to listen to customer feedback, proactively engage with our customers, and strive to provide great solutions and services for them. As the CEO/GM of the business, I truly believe that employees are the key in all of this. People who care about customers and each other, who feel listened to and seen, who feel rewarded by the work they do together for customers, and who are provided with a work environment that supports them and their families. Windward continuously works to provide this. We are not perfect at meeting everyone's needs. Everyone plays a role in making Windward Software a great place to work. We are each responsible for our own happiness and for bringing our best selves to every human interaction. Each person has an influence at Windward Software. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Work from Home or Work from Anywhere... doesn't matter. Contacting the Director team is no problem Use of Microsoft Teams and other tools for daily interactions with each other Get to help Small and Medium Businesses "level up"

Cons

If you don't thrive in a Virtual (Work from Home) Environment, this is not for you!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Yes, things have changed so much since Windward Software was acquired by Volaris Group in July 2019. We have made changes in the Senior Leadership Team and are guided by business practices that have been proven to build strong lasting companies. We continue to improve and grow and we are so excited for the future! Thank you again for taking the time to post a review.
