"It didn't make a lot of sense for us to be doing Lotus Notes implementations"
About this Quote
The specificity of “Lotus Notes implementations” does the heavy lifting. Lotus Notes wasn’t just software; it was the emblem of big-company IT: sprawling deployments, consultants on site for months, duct-taped workflows, and a billable-hours ecosystem that could feel like its own parallel economy. To say it no longer made sense is to telegraph a pivot away from customization-as-a-business-model toward whatever the next profit engine was: packaged services, newer platforms, offshore delivery, or the early logic of cloud-like standardization.
Subtext: we’re done being the crew that installs and maintains someone else’s internal plumbing. That’s not a technical judgment as much as a status play. Implementation work is often high revenue, low prestige, and brutally dependent on legacy decisions clients already regret. Kumar’s sentence is a strategic rebrand in miniature: a company trying to outrun the gravitational pull of yesterday’s enterprise stack, and to frame that escape as common sense rather than scramble.
