Brilliant way to put this. The way to compete with old enterprise software is first by not doing it the way they're doing it. I would start with something that appeals to individual employees, make their work easier, even joyful, and eventually you'll work up to top level decision makers.

By then you'll have a fantastic user-centric product and a list of features an exec team would drool over.
