Management probably really screwed this up if they were really only making $600k/yr.

Places I've worked yearly contracts for B2B have been in the $100k-$5M/yr range.

The customers paying $100k/yr barely get any integrations and feature changes... they go for the ride. The customers paying $1M+/yr get features on the double.

If Fast was doing integrations and customization for customers that were paying $1000 or less a year something was very very wrong.

Well, they had 150 engineers sitting around for a product that required at max 3. Need to give them something to do to justify those 300k salaries.
