people at work won't use things like skype, which works well, instead of our weird video conferencing software, which barely works, since it isn't "enterprise grade". same with instant messaging. what's going on?

the users, they'll buy enterprise grade products because of the implication

it sounds like you're saying the products are bad so they require a lot of babysitting and support to keep working?

No no, you're missing the point. Our products are good, and they work exceptionally well, but they would never not buy the enterprise versions because of the implication
