Definitely, on all of these points. To vorador: You could be overestimating what the software can do, and underestimating what it can do in a more augmentative role. Whether it helps the company at the expense of these workers -- or whether it helps everyone way more -- is all about how you position this software, and how people actually use it. I'd talk to these users more, and be gradual with deployment. Find ways that they can use what they know along with what you have built in order to push the envelope on productivity or even explore unforeseen opportunity. I'd also slow this down and be more deliberate in how you approach and communicate the situation. If you're not careful, you might be the one who gets fired first.
