It is my understanding that things began to dramatically change for Validian as soon as they introduced their first truly mobile version of VP to their Channel Partner approximately three years ago.
I may be incorrect in my assumption, but it is my understanding that prior to that, VP was primarily a Windows-based PC product that incidentally worked on SOME of the Mobile devices of the world.
It is especially difficult for most of us to grasp the tremendous number of advancements and changes that have occurred in technology in this century, and especially in the past seven years. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the world of communication.
It is easy for us to sit here in 2017 and make comments about how long it has taken Bruce Benn to bring a product to the market. But it would be helpful, IMO, to remember that when Bruce came onboard as CEO on May 6, 2005, no one on Earth had an iPhone - they did NOT EXIST. The Internet as we now know it had existed for about ten years, and communication experts were still debating whether it would ever become commercially successful or not. Most of the world was still using DIAL-UP MODEMs, and it took longer just to log onto one's Internet account than it now takes to download a full-length movie or the entire Wikipedia data file (which was actually IMPOSSIBLE to do using a modem anyway).
In those days, which OS was going to be used was still a MAJOR corporate decision for most companies because once the decision was made you were STUCK with that choice. Most Microsoft users were still using Windows 2000, and it was not unusual to find companies and private individuals who still had at least one DOS-based computer somewhere in the mix.
For goodness sakes, the first Blackberry device had only been on the market for five years and the experts were still betting that they would never survive.
And it was in THAT world that Bruce Benn was supposed to make the marketing decision to create and PERFECT a cybersecurity program that would protect the data created and used by the largest corporations and governments of over 100 nations communicating in over 100 different languages, using a mix of Windows, Apple, Blackberry and Android devices, on Windows, Apple and IBM PCs, as they tried to communicate on a worldwide basis with myriad versions of the fledgling mobile devices that were popping up on the market like rabbits, none of which had enough market share or clout to even be sure they would be in existence five years later let alone be the standard to which all other devices would have to adhere.
FAT CHANCE.
