If you’re losing a sale because your software doesn’t work in IE11, maybe your software isn’t actually all that good.

I understand some companies insist on IE11, but companies insist on a lot of “requirements” that aren’t actually necessary if you push back on them. When the rubber hits the road, if your software is truly the best/only option, they can find a way to use a secure browser to access it.
