This company has always been a little strange, but the recent developments are truly bizarre. They never can seem to find their niche in a profitable and sustaining business. Last year, they essentially canned most of their national sales staff and dropped this important task on a new and inexperienced in-house staff. In my experience, buying software from them now is like pulling teeth. Price increases have made many of their products uncompetitive with their major competition (e.g. TRIPOS). Now the CEO leaves and is replaced by another novice who offers no hint of any future direction whatsoever. What the heck is going on. Better take this Co. private and fast!
