Of one of the larger accounting software companies, Sage, had a huge division called MIS in Dallas and other places. Lots of people, lots of families, lots riding on their work-- twice Sage's #1 dealer. Anyway, the news of their demise somehow floated to my attention. What was odd was that "MIS" kept appearing here and there in the news. So I started reading tweets, news stories, articles, posts, and other things.
What struck me was how fast the vultures descended. Boom! Competitors, consultants, renegade companies-- all just tried to herd customers or clients to them. Lo here! Lo there! Yoooo hoooo! Send us your business! Bad Sage this or Good us that.
But one company, AboutTime Technologies, simply took the time to put out a simple press release that read, Gee, we're so sorry. Anything we can do? We're praying for you. Good luck. (http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200907/1247287543.html) About Time could have started caterwauling, too, trying to get some mileage out of Sage's hardship, but instead they chose the high road.
That's pretty impressive. Bravo, people. (http://abouttimetech.com/)
And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house,that I said, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
(Genesis 20:13)
