Kid, I thought you were on top of things? You are coming across all nervous!!

[kidknocked] 12/5/2022 08:42

Seeing is believing I guess. Any idea when as this week is running out. Thanks

Arria planning some sort of IPO announcement this week according to an insider today. Overdue if true.

[windhill] 09/5/2022 20:21

All joshing aside -- Arria must hold some kind of record for "Pre-IPO" raises. Isn't the promise of an imminent listing been the tease for at least four years now?

[psychochopper] 09/5/2022 19:43

The valuation is hardly going to get a Nasdaq lift!

[drew lonmenob] 09/5/2022 15:12

a delay ?

its been delayed since 2018 idiot

[windhill] 09/5/2022 13:55

I imagine it's very important. Arria are burning through that c$30M fast. Meanwhile they are trying to IPO into an ASX Tech Wreck: 92% of tech stocks are down 25% 51% of tech stocks are down 50%20% of tech stocks are down 70%Sharon should stay in NZ and Australia if that's where they are listing; pleading with institutions to take a punt. No point being in New Jersey when your firm's survival is being decided on Pitt Street.

or if she fancied tying on a family holiday. we all know they do it

[kidknocked] 09/5/2022 10:04

Interesting. You do not go through the time and expense of sending your CEO half way around the world if it wasn't important.

[windhill] 09/5/2022 03:46

So Sharon Daniels is in NZ hustling hard. Not sure if that's a healthy sign or one of mild desperation to fill the book. Shouldn't ASX players have sufficed. I guess the old ACC might be up for it, but I imagine the Henry brand still somewhat toxic that side of the ditch.

Newsflash Kid. Salesforce could have afforded Arria if they felt it stacked up. They have a track record of buying the best tech to compliment their broad offering. Arria certainly not too big for the M&A team there. They chose Narrative Science. My sellers still in market when I checked yesterday. Guess the buy side fell away. C'est pas vrai...

[kidknocked] 28/4/2022 09:15

Windhill - Narrative Science have one limited product called lexio, Arria is way way way bigger and better than this so not a target for Salesforce.

How is your imaginary client with shares to sell coming along ?

[windhill] 27/4/2022 23:05

Data point: Salesforce via Tableau acquired Arria's main competitor Narrative Science last December for c250M in equity and cash. Total capital in for NS had been less than $50M USD. A good 5x+ result for investors in NS. Surely Salesforce reviewed the market before choosing NS. Why them and not Arria? How come the world's largest CRM company and largest pure biz analytics company made the play for NS and not for Arria? Is viagra valuation distorting the reality of Arria and choking their IPO dreams? Aussie brokers are a practical bunch...

Are we nearly there yet?

[windhill] 21/4/2022 16:49

Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I loves ya! Tomorrow..you're always a day awaaaay...

[legal alien] 20/4/2022 14:36

Bit more patience ... fingers crossed will be a great start to summer :-)

[kidknocked] 20/4/2022 13:50

I am sure you are right. Will be nice to get it over the line though.

[legal alien] 20/4/2022 13:13

Not long now Kid

I feel better every day :-)

19 April 2022 New release of Arria for Excel delivers five additional out-of-the-box narratives plus greatly expanded flexibility Arria is pleased to share that we have released a new version of our integration with Microsoft Excel, bringing dynamic, natural-language narratives with exponentially more end-user flexibility to everyone's favorite spreadsheet tool.Release 1.2.0.0 of Arria for Excel adds five new analysis types for out-of-the-box, dynamic report generation. In addition to using the original Descriptive Statistics, Time-based Variance, and Target-based Variance apps, you can now analyze and narrate your pivot tables and charts in Excel using the following apps:Trend AnalysisRanking AnalysisDescribe a Pie ChartDescribe a Bar ChartDescribe a Line ChartFor the finance sector, where Excel has wide adoption, Arria's Excel integration offers the perfect opportunity to easily integrate Intelligent Narratives into existing clients' workflows. The most popular use cases are investment commentary, portfolio commentary, P&L statements, and other financial statements.Other ideal use cases are workflows in which the use of business intelligence (BI) is not so prevalent, or in which the ad hoc analysis provided by Arria for Excel is a requisite complement to BI. For example, an analyst looking at an investment portfolio might be seeking instant insights from a table of returns in a specific industry sector. Or that same analyst might spot something unexpected in her BI dashboard, but she needs her colleagues to figure out what happened – colleagues who can best do their exploration in spreadsheets where they are most comfortable. In this second example, the ad hoc analysis that Arria for Excel allows makes it a useful companion tool to the BI application, offering greater flexibility. After all, which business professional is not comfortable working in Microsoft Excel?Unlimited parameters mean greater flexibilityThis release also removes a limit on the number of parameter controls that can be used in custom narratives. Now, custom users can expose as many parameters as needed to end users. This new feature is a boon to large global organizations who want to meet the needs of their many different cost centers by implementing a single reporting solution across geographies.For end users, this means they have greater interactivity and flexibility in configuring their narrative to include precisely the insights and details they need to report on - whether they want to customize narrative verbosity, variance threshold percentages of materiality and coverage, or even just the currency symbols for monetary values. With this release of Arria for Excel, there can be a single Studio project backing the customer's implementation, and that one Studio project can be easily adoptable across hundreds of operating units within a large enterprise.A "huge win" for the finance professionalAccording to David Weir, Manager Transaction Services at Deloitte: "Arria's Excel add-in provides huge insight and internal efficiencies through its easy-to-use narrative configurator. After ingesting large volumes of company data to be analyzed, all it took was some simple pivot-table prep and Arria's NLG add-in and within minutes, we had detailed narratives highlighting key trends in the data, assisting the due diligence professional to refine question lists and significantly reduce report writing time. Arria's product is a first of its kind, and for the finance professional with no/low-code experience, the out-of-the-box NLG narratives are a huge win!"Since our initial release of Arria for Excel in 2020, spreadsheet users have been enjoying the ability to add NLG to their workbooks without having to leave their existing Excel workflow. Arria for Excel enables users to explain their data with natural-language narratives - providing instant, dynamic reporting that can be exported to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or any presentation layer.
