The ship sank - Anonymous employee Accept Software Employee Review

The company had a great baseline product offering that should have penetrated the right market segment at the right time. The intermediate growth opportunity looked good in 2011 when the company tried to reinvigorate itself with additional private funding, new management, a new product offering and expanded Marketing and Sales.

The baseline product, although feature rich, was outdated in some technology aspects - inhibiting stellar enterprise performance characteristics. Funding was not adequate to achieve both needed enhancements in existing offerings while expanding into new offerings for new customers.

There are none today. There is essentially no Accept anymore. When the company was active, the Accept360 product line was really quite a good and useful and powerful product. I was proud to work with it, and our customers were getting a lot of value from it. In my current position I'm sorry I don't have a tool like Accept360 to help me out!

Unfortunately, there was very little investment in Accept360 for several years, during which time UI standards and competitors all passed us by. The company was instead investing in two initiatives which both failed to pan out, leaving us with a core product that was too long in the tooth to compete. Accept was ultimately purchased at the end by Versata for a very small amount, and Accept360, the major core product, is now part of the Artemis family of products. None of the original Accept employees are still with the company, aside from one part-timer that I know of.
