Various takes from industry experts on the Hyland layoffs According to the announcement from Bill Priemer, president and CEO of Hyland, the global content services provider is laying off approximately 1,000 employees, or about 20% of its workforce (among them Sam Babic, who has been with Hyland for more than a quarter century). Bill Priemer cited the restructuring of the company as one reason for the layoffs. In addition, he mentioned that the transformation into a cloud company “has required substantial investment in both people and systems. While we had planned for this investment, we did not anticipate the degree to which inflation, rising interest rates and wage increases would impact our expenses. Furthermore, the challenging economic climate we currently face is prompting many organizations to pull back on their technology expenditures.” For both market analyst Ralph Gammon and Alan Pelz-Sharpe, a combination of the challenging economic climate coupled with Hyland’s relatively slow, albeit difficult, transition to the cloud and clinging to legacy on-premises systems may have played a significant role in the layoffs.
