Never dealt with the field services team, what exactly did they do? I only deal with a sales engineer and RSM occasionally.

They shouldn't have fired those who help the Customers to fix issues with poorly written software on site.
Just look at any VMS software, new releases list pages of solved issues. Sometimes these issues must be addressed on site prompt. I think that a company which is getting rid of field support engineers, does not take responsibility for the problems with their system any more.

Never dealt with any of the people in these positions. Most of that can be accomplished with our own resources.
