"There's a lot of opportunity for international business," said Nasstar CEO Charles Black. "The market is growing. It's been growing particularly in the last few months and we expect our client base to grow steadily." Black wouldn't disclose exact figures, but if you track the company's moves you can tell that Nasstar sees a great opportunity to expand its international client base and is preparing for it accordingly."

Charles wouldn't disclose exact figures because they probably weren't worth disclosing otherwise there would have been an RNS one would have thought.



So lots of opportunity but not much coming our way judging by the last set of results which is the only thing the average shareholder has to go by.

"Nasstar Hosted Desktop - finalist in Comms Business Awards 2011. Most Innovative Channel Service category.
21 hours ago"

Yes but when are we going to convert these award nominations into decent sized profitable contracts Charles? Stuff the awards we have been getting them for the last 3 years or so. Show me the money.

I certainly will TREBLE, keep up the good work

[treblewide] 04/5/2011 01:15

jazaa ...IOM turn over £20M per annum..hardly a mega outfit.

now of they had got an agreement with Telectiy or a major international hosting player like Equinix or Rackspace then well done.

anyway not interested in owning these shares again...like the conspiracy theories though..i also emailed my thoughts to the CEO when the results were released

pathetic..but hey solarno will be along soon with some wild comments...he knows about big contracts you know

[jazza] 03/5/2011 21:57

Interesting little hatchet job treble...leaves me wondering what your agenda is.

That "small-hosting company" IOM is many times bigger (in mcap/revenue terms) than NASA and has customers who want what NASA offers.

Nothing is certain, who knows what sales of white-labelled NASA kit IOM will achieve
but it most likely doesn't mean "absolutely nothing" far from it..

You're trying too hard, waaay too hard with the OTT emotive tone of your post, hence my wondering as to the nature of your agenda...

feel free not to post here again..

[treblewide] 03/5/2011 21:55

partnerships mean nothing....absolutely nothing.

the interims were terrible....and they are going no where fast.

look at the facts the cloud market is exploding...ibm did more cloud revenue in q1 2011 than all of 2010 combined.

NASA increased revenue year on year by 60k....they actually only really kept up with inflation...pathetic

they are being left behind and a partnership agreement with a small hosting company aint gonna make any material difference.

i wish you holders well but fear the worst

[jazza] 03/5/2011 15:40

Effectively, this is about IOM cross-selling to their existing customers...and bunging a few £££ to NASA for each user signed-up, doubt we'll ever get details of the terms written in the contract but hey ho..

[solarno lopez] 03/5/2011 15:34

NASA it is then

[jazza] 03/5/2011 15:33

There are 3 separate points of note in what the IOM CEO had to say...

1) NASA have a decent product
2) There's a growing market for that kind of product, IOM's customers are asking for it
3) NASA have no oomph (read: money) to leverage on their product


Angus MacSween, CEO of Iomart, said

- Nasstar's hosted desktop platform is well established and has been designed to offer the best user experience.

- "We've had interest and enquiries about hosted desktop and I believe it's the right time now to have a solution to meet that growing demand.

- The ability to white label their platform and offer the service under the Iomart brand means we can quickly integrate the service into our portfolio of cloud services.

Sorry guys trying to get into my Santader account and they say there is no e banking.

I am as disappointed as you guys and probably more so because the info I had was reliable but I am not the seller of 80k

[skidaddle] 03/5/2011 14:35

I shall stick with the hope that the INTY agreement to supply 10,000 seats over 3 years isn't just a fairy tale. And of course that SL actually knows something. I have never used stops preferring the belief that patience pays off in the end even though it can be very tiresome sometimes.

[p3psimax] 03/5/2011 13:53

But I guess Iomart is perfectly placed to prove that or not hey?

Where's Solarno anyway he's been a bit quiet since we've fallen off a cliff?

What's your plan Skidz anyways I hope your not prepared to go red again after hanging on in there for so long? I placed a stop order at my bottom line and it got hit on Thursday, glad to be out with the current price?

HMB - definately worth a look???

[skidaddle] 03/5/2011 12:35

If the model works. The jury is still out on that.

[p3psimax] 03/5/2011 12:34

Well I'm all out at the moment will look to buy back in again if the price is right?

Perhaps Iomart are trying before they're buying?

[jazza] 03/5/2011 12:32

IOM's paper is sufficiently well-rated that you'd think they would just buy NASA in an all-paper deal...would hardly cause any dilution.

If the white-labelled hosted desktop takes off and they end up paying NASA so much per month as a fee(?), they may decide it better to take NASA out than keep paying said fee..

[skidaddle] 03/5/2011 12:31

Nope.

Iomart didn't see it as noteworthy of an RNS. It's decent contracts for bums on seats that we want and patently not getting.

[p3psimax] 03/5/2011 12:27

Iomart have come on board, how interesting? Any of you guys sell another 80k's worth of shares today?

[p3psimax] 28/4/2011 22:41

Same here treble, what a disappointment! :(

[treblewide] 28/4/2011 19:56

i am completely out....small profit which should have been more

[p3psimax] 28/4/2011 15:00

Abandon Ship! Abandon Ship! Everyone to the lifeboats, women and children first! Please make sure you have fitted your life jackets correctly and wait patiently whilst you board the lifeboat! :)

[skidaddle] 28/4/2011 13:46

Yep.

But we are supposed to see much larger volumes to compensate for that. Something which patently isn't happening at the moment. And we have over 50 partners now. A few of whom just can't be pulling their weight when you look at an average of 5 seats per partner using those figures over the last 6 months.

Last September we agreed a 3 year deal with INTY to sign up 10,000 more seats within that timeframe. Nothing of note has been seen since that time. Only 2 years and 4 months to go to expiry.

We are still in hype over reality mode looking at these figures.

[jazza] 28/4/2011 13:08

The last 4 half-yearly subscriber counts were:

1,149
1,370 (up 221 or 19.2%)
1,600 (up 230 or 16.8%)
1,866 (up 266 or 16.6%)

so the growth-rates aint bad...but revenues are not rising at the same rate. Not sure why this is, perhaps it is due to their partners taking a cut?
