Gresham Technologies Share Discussion Threads

[jadeticl3] 10/4/2017 13:20

No end of quiet excitement and painting of potential, but with the numbers as they currently stand there is not the wherewithal for the share price to rise, or so it appears to me.

[double double] 10/4/2017 08:47

It appears the new communications strategy doesnt include quarterly updates. Next possbile update at time of AGM in May.

More importantly than the new hires, others are knocking on our door

"We are also seeing strong interest from other industry solution providers to partner with us,...."

other US providers perhaps and hence why US hires

probably stating the obvious

Also noticed they announced it at around 2.45pm, trying to make impact in the US when markets opens.

[schytalk] 05/4/2017 16:16

These are two potentially huge new hires, especially Burchenal who will have the no mean task of helping to bootstrap GHT into the big time. This is key to breaking out of the limiting niche provider tag. I wish them both well and every succes, exciting times ahead in 2017.

Gresham announces senior appointments in New York
5 April 2017

Strengthens North America sales and accelerates global alliances and channels

London & New York, 5 April 2017 – Gresham, the leading software and services company that specialises in providing real-time transaction control and enterprise data integrity solutions, has strengthened its business development team with two senior appointments in New York. Jan Dinger joins to lead the North American sales operation and John Burchenal to build and lead a global alliances programme.

The new appointments build on the recent strategic new wins in North America, as well as capitalizing on the fast-growing reputation of the company’s Clareti platform within the financial technology industry.

Bill Blythe, Global Business Development, Gresham says, “We’re delighted to welcome Jan Dinger and John Burchenal to the team. They bring with them a wealth of experience that will help us realise our global ambitions in the FinTech space. The North America market presents significant opportunity for Gresham, with strong demand for newer more agile technologies as financial services firms come under increasing regulatory pressure to get their data under control. We are also seeing strong interest from other industry solution providers to partner with us, and forming the right strategic alliances and relationships will be important for the company in the future.”

Dinger brings 15 years’ financial technology sales experience and joins Gresham from Advent Software who offer portfolio management, STP and trade order management solutions to investment management firms. During his 10 years at Advent he worked in EMEA and in the US, where he has been for the last three years, leading the strategic accounts team in New York.

Burchenal joins from ICAP, where for the last five years he has been running the strategic partner programme for the Traiana business, developing relationships with market infrastructure providers. Prior to that he spent six years at Omgeo, the Thomson Financial/DTCC joint venture, as managing director of strategic growth. John brings a wealth of alliances, sales and financial markets experience to a newly created global role.

dd, understand where you are coming from except I think analytics (and the much bigger development of data accelerator) are all to do with replacing batch processes i.e. real-time baseline position. So I think this does up the ticket price.

[double double] 03/4/2017 09:32

I am not a technical person but it seems to me this Analytics product is like adding a dashboard to the car engine. If this is the case then I dont think this is a "new product" or a money maker. As a client I would not want to pay extra and I would expect is as standard service as part of the CTC product.

[gottafly] 03/4/2017 08:45

DD, a post from the iii discussion from Share gardener, perhaps this makes some sence of it.

RNS Reach put out for this as well as press release.
Slide 29 of the capital markets day presentation ''Organic growth strategy'' spider diagram shows Analytics as coming in 'Mid 2017' so its on target or slightly ahead.
Growth is ultimately dependent on new customers adopting the product so improved capabilities should mean more uptake (we hope!).

dd, good point about tax planning, sell some shares and use your capital gains tax allowance, makes sense.

[double double] 31/3/2017 12:13

I wonder if these sales are tax planning ahead of 5th April by some as there are alot of long term investors here. The share price has performed well, the 52 high/low is 85p/160p. The market makers "knowingly" are not allowing the share price to be dragged down for that reason, helped by a willing buyer. Perhaps.

There have been buyers at around 156.9p despite the headline bid and ask of 155p-164p.

[schytalk] 31/3/2017 11:45

DD, it does seem that all trades are going through at 155 so you are perhaps right there is only one buyer out there who is presumably building a stake. Guess it will need multiple buyers to shift the SO upwards.

[double double] 30/3/2017 10:56

Whether this RNS is full or partial disclosure, they are reported in the same way and to the whole world. You only have to look at the above news section of this board.

However, how can those 2 clients wins announced by press releases be of lesser significance when they will have some monetary value where else todays announcement is simply a product launch with no monetary value attached. This is my question to Gresham.

RSI lowest for 3 months. Consolidating at 10 year high. Never say never but the share price does not seem to want to go down. Buyers may return soon as expectations for business update gathers pace for either April or May.

Well it seems that the GHT communication strategy is somewhat still 'variable'. the consensus on here (I thought) was that GHT had given up on using RNS (Reach) as a marketing/communication method.

It seems not because as well as a press release on the web site we get an RNS Reach:-

Confusion, confusion, confusion - DD, I take it all back who knows what GHT will do as regards communications.

The only conclusion I can come to is that this news is not material in terms of a full RNS but is more newsworthy (and material) than a simple press release.

So this is presumably BIGGER NEWS than these two recent contract wins which only warranted a press release:-

Gresham adds real-time analytics to the Clareti platform

Ongoing commitment to innovation and market leadership

Gresham Technologies plc (LSE: "GHT", or the "Company"), the leading software and services company that specialises in providing real-time transaction control and enterprise data integrity solutions, has launched a real-time data visualisation and embedded analytics solution - Clareti Analytics - to complement its flagship Clareti Transaction Control (CTC) offering.

Gresham leads the market in modern enterprise-class transaction control solutions; the launch of the new analytics solution follows on from its recent success as the winner of Chartis' RiskTech 100® category for Data Integrity and Control. Constantly refining the Clareti platform to add innovative new functionality, the aim of Clareti Analytics is to empower operational users and executive managers to leverage the value of their data - instead of spending their time trying to understand it.

Clareti Analytics enables CTC customers to intuitively explore their data, develop valuable business insights and distribute beautiful dynamic reports, real-time dashboards and visualisations onto any device. With Clareti Analytics, business users can identify trends, monitor data integrity and control operations, and track risks or discrepancies at a glance.

Available for on-premise and cloud deployments, Clareti Analytics is tightly integrated into the core Clareti platform to ensure fully governed, secure, data access and an exceptional user experience. Customers will be able to initiate data control actions directly from the visualisations in Clareti Analytics.

A copy of the press release is available at www.greshamtech.com.

Neil Vernon, CTO, commented:

"In a typical installation, CTC sits at the heart of our client's data operations and acts as its control platform for the enterprise, or a line of business. CTC guarantees the integrity of their processing and exception management activities. Clareti Analytics removes the need to generate batch reports, instead providing real-time information in a user-friendly interface on tablets and phones as well as desktops."

Ian Manocha, CEO, commented:

"The fast pace of regulated financial markets means that executives need to have real-time, actionable, insights into their operations to ensure the effective application of their control framework and policies. Clareti Analytics now gives executives the insights and trends to identify business risks earlier and monitor compliance, as well as drive further operating efficiencies and service quality improvements."

On 14 March 2017 Gresham announced its results for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 with Clareti revenues up by 42% and Clareti software recurring revenues up 53%.

Official confirmation of this CTC add-on and is a further step into real time and away from batch processing to provide base line information. Up next is Data Accelerator a further move away from batch and into real-time, exciting times me thinks!

Logically in this new brave world of "new communications strategy" of Gresham, I would have thought we get more of it [communication] and not less. I am always glass half full so I will be expecting the same as before.

[gottafly] 29/3/2017 15:57

DD with the new communications strategy in place I dont think you can look at last year for guidance. Major deals will be announced as/when, ordinary deals will only be shown in the half/full year. Agree though there may be a communication update at the AGM.

[double double] 28/3/2017 16:21

Date of AGM announced Thursday 4 May 2017 at 11.00 a.m.

We did get a small busisness update last year.

Also noticed there was a mini TU on 7 April 2016 so perhaps an updated next week for Q1 2017.

So GHT have issued some more employye equity, understandable and a good thing but this must put some drag on the share price since these will have been issued at a deep discount to the current share price level, it may also create some sales liquidity due to profit taking/cash realisation. I am sure that N1 will have allowed for this in their forecasts, can anyone explain what more (share options) are in the pipeline.

[nurdin] 25/3/2017 08:46

Yes the date prompted me to post the article believing that there was something new in there.I now accept that it is an old article with a wrong date on it.My apologies.

[schytalk] 25/3/2017 06:19

Nurdin whilst very confusing I think you will find that the date in the top right is in fact today's date, very very misleading. So yes old news I reckon as RD said.

[richjp] 24/3/2017 14:54

nurdin, maybe that publication just needed to fill a bit of space. Rapid on boarding is something GHT have been promoting for a long time now.

I will be interested to see what Techinvest have to say in their April edition assuming that they have a comment to make. In the March edition, published after the trading update but before the full results were announced, they were very positive and had the shares as a "strong hold" at 155P.

I am sure they will be positive about the future but whether or not they upgrade their strong hold view will be interesting.
