Hey folks,
You lot have been really helpful - thanks for all the advice you've been giving me in some of my previous posts. (Also for the questions you've made me think about - I needed those too!)
But here I am, pitching a cloud-based software to an industry that runs on legacy software that's paid for once and installed on their PCs. It's been really hard convincing them to move away from that model - I mean at the end of the day I'm trying to convince them to shift from thinking of software as a capital expense to an operational expense that's billed quarterly.
Have any of you experienced something like this? Pitching it with the advantages of a cloud native software doesn't seem to be helping (use from anywhere, lesser capital required for hardware, autosave and all the typical cloud benefits).
