26/7/2018 10:30	Good news: Https://www.ideagen.com/company/news/ideagen-recognised-in-gartners-first-ever-magic-quadrant-for-irm/ "Ideagen recognised in Gartner’s first ever Magic Quadrant for Integrated Risk Management 25 July 2018 Ideagen, the UK-based, global software firm, has been included in what it believes is a key industry report designed to recognise organisations that provide software and services for integrated risk management (IRM). Gartner's first ever 'Magic Quadrant for Integrated Risk Management' evaluates risk management software vendors. The Magic Quadrant states “Integrated risk management enables simplification, automation and integration of strategic, operational and IT risk management processes and data. Security and risk management leaders should use Gartner’s Magic Quadrant to identify solutions that support an integrated approach to risk management.” Ideagen is recognised in Gartner’s report as a Challenger. A recognition that Ideagen believes is thanks to its newer products in the form of Coruson, an enterprise cloud-safety and operational risk management solution, and Pentana, for audit and performance management. Ideagen’s Head of Product, Gordon McKeown, said: “Integrated risk management is a set of practices and processes supported by a risk-aware culture and enabling technologies, that improves decision making and performance through an integrated view of how well an organisation manages its unique set of risks. “We are delighted to be included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Integrated Risk Management – the inaugural version – thanks to what we believe is the capability and functionality available in our Coruson and Pentana products. “We feel that it is testament to the strength of these products – and our efforts in staying ahead of the curve by identifying innovation opportunities and market needs – that we have been named among the players in this growing market.” Gartner is the world’s leading research analyst and advisory firm. The creation of the Magic Quadrant for Integrated Risk Management comes as digital business risks and cybersecurity challenges increase globally. The report states: “IRM goes beyond traditional, compliance-driven governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions to provide actionable insights that are aligned with business strategies, not just regulatory mandates.”	rivaldo	Read Full Thread Reply

23/7/2018 13:36	FT buy. https://tinyurl.com/ybtkr69d Buy: Ideagen (IDEA)The group is diversifying its revenue streams, growing earnings and the dividend — though small — is an added bonus, writes Julia Faurschou.Ideagen’s future earnings visibility improved in the year to April, thanks to its ongoing shift away from a perpetual licensing model and towards a software subscription model, borne out by so-called “software-as-a-service” (SaaS) sales, which were up 76 per cent to £8.4m, while recurring revenues constituted 62 per cent of the top line. And the group — which supplies information management software to highly-regulated industries — enjoyed a 63 per cent rise in new sales bookings to £22.7m, laying the foundations for revenue streams to come.While 11 per cent of the company’s revenue growth was organic, the rest derived from recent acquisitions — with one example being PleaseTech, a provider of document collaboration and review software which has bolstered Ideagen’s defence and life sciences offering. In April, the group made its first US acquisition in the form of Medforce — a healthcare software business — for $8.7m (£6.2m), gaining 300 US customers in the process. Generally, the group is expanding its global presence; over the reporting period, 78 per cent of new SaaS wins were non-UK based.Broker FinnCap forecasts adjusted pre-tax profits of £11.4m and earnings per share of 4.8p for the year ending April 2019 (from £9.7m and 4.2p in full-year 2018)	igoe104	Read Full Thread Reply

23/7/2018 09:19	New all-time highs now. Maven Income and Growth VCT 5 reported results on Friday and had this to say their £3.85m investment in IDEA: "In the year to 30 April 2018, Ideagen delivered results that were again in line with expectations. The company recorded a 33% increase in revenue to £36.1 million and a 40% increase in adjusted EBITDA to £11.0 million. The organic growth rate of 11% was supplemented by the contribution from the acquisitions of Logen, Covalent, IPI and Pleasetech, which completed in the prior year. The company continued to strengthen the quality of revenues with significant growth in Service-as-a Software (SaaS) business as bookings increased by 174% with recurring revenue now accounting for 62% of turnover (57% in the previous year). This increase in revenue was driven by new and existing customer wins, with notable wins including Scandinavian Airlines, AirAsia, Lockheed Martin, Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Verizon. In addition, the company acquired Medforce, a company that has developed a product suite to support productivity and legal compliance through its workflow and information management tools. This business was acquired for $8.7 million in cash which was payable at completion and funded with a mixture of debt and cash. This acquisition represents Ideagen's first US purchase, a territory that has been identified as a key area of growth and which has generated over 50% of all new logo wins and 70% of all new SaaS wins in the first half of the current financial year."	rivaldo	Read Full Thread Reply

19/7/2018 11:46	Cheers igoe - meanwhile here's a feature on IDEA's results, with these comments from the CEO. Certainly looks like acquisitions are on the way: Https://www.scotsman.com/business/companies/tech/software-firm-ideagen-hails-9th-year-of-growth-1-4770048 "Chief executive Ben Dorks, who was promoted from chief customer officer in May, told The Scotsman: “It’s been a very strong 12 months – we’re certainly very pleased with the results.” The firm said operational highlights during the year included the April acquisition of “profitable, growing and cash-generative” US-based healthcare software specialist Medforce Technologies. The $8.7m (£6.6m) deal, which added 300 US healthcare customers, also provided a “platform for further growth” in the US. Dorks said the transaction ties in with Ideagen’s strategy of acquiring businesses, as per its £13m purchase of Scottish management software firm Gael in 2014, that have robust recurring revenues and intellectual property, and in “complementary or adjacent markets… or, as in the Medforce acquisition where they are in new geographies, which we can then use as a launch pad for our existing products”. He added that Ideagen “remains committed to an ongoing buy and build strategy and we expect to complete further acquisitions this financial year”, with a US deal “certainly on the cards” in the next 12 months." “I think we’ve got a fantastic platform for continued growth for the future,” said Dorks, while executive chair and former CEO David Hornsby, said the board has faith in the group’s prospects “for the current year – and beyond”.	rivaldo	Read Full Thread Reply

18/7/2018 09:07	Just back from hols - terrific results yesterday. The market opportunity is huge, and there are strong hints that more acquisitions are on the way. The outlook statement in particular is very confident. Can't ask for more: "Trading since the year end has remained robust and we continue to see strong demand for our products from new potential customers. With acquisitions made during the previous year performing well, and with a base of over 3,700 customers generating growing recurring revenues and repeat business the Board has every confidence in the continued prospects for the Group."	rivaldo	Read Full Thread Reply

17/7/2018 15:21	From Paul Scott Small Cap Value Report on IDEA. "I wouldn't be comfortable enough with the story yet to buy it personally, but it might be worthy of some further research." Two years in this share from 45p. Small cap value indeed!!	petewy	Read Full Thread Reply
17/7/2018 12:35	finnCap note target price increased to 140p from 120p Prelims confirm EBITDA of £11.0m from revenue of £36.1m, in line with expectations unchanged at the May trading update. 11% underlying organic revenue growth is supported by acquisitions (current and prior periods), delivering +33% group revenue, +40% group EBITDA, and +33% adjusted diluted EPS. Net cash at period end of £0.8m is expected to be boosted by strong and growing free cash flow, funding both the dividend and the inevitable further acquisitions. Ideagen has a tried and tested formula for delivery of forecasts and sensible acquisitions, and we look forward to continuing positive newsflow as the relentless increase in regulatory compliance leads to the requirement for efficiencies and insight through automation, which Ideagen’s solutions deliver – and Brexit will only increase. We roll out a new target of 140p (120p) based on FY20 forecasts for further organic growth of +10% EBITDA and EPS; however, we fully expect further acquisitions to increase those forecasts in the interim.	slopsjon2	Read Full Thread Reply

17/7/2018 07:57	Market Opportunity The Board believes the long-term prospects for the Group are positive. The Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) market was, according to Gartner, worth $4.8 billion globally in 2017 and is estimated to be growing at 13% per annum. We believe that we have established a compelling business platform that has been enhanced by the integration of the four acquisitions made in the previous year and are well placed to participate in this growth. Highly regulated organisations require the tools we provide to help them identify, assess and manage corporate risk while complying with international industry standards, and many are only in the early stages of adopting an enterprise-wide approach. The Board believes that the Group's cloud solutions will be a particular growth area for the Group which will increase the percentage of total revenues derived from recurring contracts providing even greater visibility of earnings. The Group is in discussions with a number of acquisition targets which would potentially add significant value as we aim to consolidate our position in the market.	igoe104	Read Full Thread Reply

04/7/2018 07:26	Good news: Https://www.ideagen.com/company/news/ideagen-successfully-named-on-g-cloud-10-framework/ "Ideagen successfully named on G-Cloud 10 framework 03 July 2018 Ideagen’s Coruson, Q-Pulse, PleaseReview and Pentana Performance will be available for organisations operating in the public sector Ideagen is pleased to announce it has been awarded a place on the G-Cloud government framework for the 6th successive year. The G-Cloud 10 iteration allows public sector organisations – such as the NHS and local councils – to find and compare cloud-based services, removing the requirement for a full tender process. It was launched in 2012, and Ideagen’s inclusion this year marks its sixth in succession. It means the company can offer its Coruson, Q-Pulse, PleaseReview and Pentana Performance products on the framework to organisations searching for cloud technology and specialist digital services. Ben Dorks, Ideagen’s Chief Executive Officer, said the framework continues to create new opportunities for the company. He said: “Ideagen has provided software and services to the UK’s public sector for almost two decades and initiatives such as the G-Cloud framework can only enhance our ability to continue to do that. “The G-Cloud framework provides a streamlined process for the purchase of technology and digital services from organisations like ourselves. It has become a crucial service for public sector organisations as it is a faster buying process than having to enter into individual procurement contracts. etc"	rivaldo	Read Full Thread Reply
