Press release
Innovative software sets new trend for Local Authorities
Published 22 August 2012

Idox plc has created a comprehensive Interactive Voter Registration (IVR) system that increases voters' registration through Freephone, the internet and SMS.

Launched in June 2012, the IVR system has attracted 42 Local Authorities nationwide. At present, more than 4 million individual electors benefit from Idox's IVR through its ability to offer a flexible service across three popular communication channels. Complementing hectic lifestyles, IVR is flexible and awards individuals the freedom to register to vote, whilst continuing with their daily routines.

To date over 650,000 successful registrations have taken place with over 320,000 by telephone, 274,000 through the web and 54,000 using SMS.

Alongside increasing the number of registered voters, IVR provides cost-effective solutions for clients. The system helps eliminate postal registrations and canvassing, which can often result in additional costs for Local Authorities. In addition, the system also offers an online customised portal for clients to modify the services they offer and download daily response files.

To complement the IVR system, Idox recently introduced its new Print & Send service. The intelligence-led service offers an alternative solution for individuals who fail to complete their registrations online or via telephone. Monitoring each registration's unique reference number, electors will receive a letter that informs them to re-register their details. Both IVR and Print & Send services ensure all electors' details are captured and allow clients to focus on other aspects of their workload.

Commenting on the campaign's success, Glen Norman Elections Manager for Idox commented, "It's encouraging to see that our IVR and Print & Send services are proving beneficial for the general public. As a company, Idox fully understands the importance of individuals exercising their right to vote and our systems guarantee that those eligible to vote can register to do so through a simplistic and trustworthy process."

Its effectively a Director buy at these levels so yes I suspect he believes IDOX will trade somewhat higher than here.

Edit : And one of the best charts around.

[clocktower] 14/8/2012 16:56

Yes that seems to be the case but for the record I have no position here but still follow it closely. Good Luck.

[rathlindri] 14/8/2012 16:50

I take that as a very positive sign??

[greenroom78] 14/8/2012 16:47

I think he firmly believes IDOX will trade at 100p+ so I guess he'd be more than happy to keep them until then (I know I would).

[clocktower] 14/8/2012 16:45

New shares issued and it seems he is holding onto them. Nice windfall.

Transfer at 'nil consideration' into a SIPP.

Is that legal? It would generate a nice capital loss outside the SIPP. Have Idox discovered the latest MPs' tax wheeze?

[bigbigdave] 10/7/2012 17:09

As we agreed, dip being bought up!

[greenroom78] 02/7/2012 07:42

I'm of similar views to you Bluebelle and think the large trades we have seen lately show that PI profit taking would soon be absorbed. I will watch for a top up opportunity though.

edit - same as what bigbigdave said.

[bigbigdave] 02/7/2012 07:31

Thing is with IDOX any profit taking would get bought up by folk wanting to get on board such a powerful growth story.

[bluebelle] 02/7/2012 07:28

Greenroom
No. I'm not. I often remind people in this situation that people were telling me to take some of my ASOS off the table when I had just about doubled my money when it hit 13.5p, yes,p ! Fortunately, I ignored them ! Whether this will ever hit those heights I don't know, but I let my winners run - especially those which have performed so well in recent market conditions.

[greenroom78] 02/7/2012 00:09

Just noticed Midas in the Mail are recommending 'taking some profit' for those in early. I first bought at 18p and I must admit the thought hadn't even entered my head at this stage. Anybody considering it, or anybody thinking of adding if we see a bit of weakness.

IMO there hasn't been anything in the results to suggest that the growth should slow, I doubt the recent acquisitions have had their full effect yet.

[bigbigdave] 27/6/2012 17:11

Fairly good volume again and a close through 40p.
Wonder if this will get taken out at some point?

[aishah] 26/6/2012 15:32

5+ bagger now - took some off the table

[billcatchpole] 26/6/2012 13:43

Investec appear to have topped up too! Now almost 6% holding.

[grannyboy] 26/6/2012 13:29

Well impressed with the progress this company is making, and still plenty of opportunities....

[rp19] 26/6/2012 12:52

I too topped-up a few weeks ago at a higher price than I initially purchased at (I also don't have a massive holding). I agree, at first it does appear a little strange buying more at a higher price but I think the company will grow further and hopefully the share price will too. Certainly beats chasing a share price down in the hope that it has bottomed out.

[blippy2] 26/6/2012 12:16

Topped up. In a way, IDOX has been frustrating for me because I only hold a small amount. Share price performance has been very pleasing for me. I just wish I had bought more!

It's always a conundrum. I'm making a very nice profit on it PERCENTAGE-WISE, and it feels awkward to buy at a higher price. I decided to top up despite that. I think the current price is reasonable provided IDOX continues its growth trajectory. Fingers crossed.

[mavverick] 26/6/2012 09:52

hefty trades

[clocktower] 26/6/2012 09:45

Well done IDOX. I no longer hold any but wish the company and all holders well, as there appears to be a lot more growth left in very safe hands it seems.

[greenroom78] 26/6/2012 07:55

I don't comment on IDOX very often as its one of those in my portfolio that needs very little attention. Another good 6 months by the looks of things also like that they are very progressive with their dividend policy.

One thing I would like to see happen here though is for management to consider a move from AIM. I'd much rather be holding these in my ISA.

[bluebelle] 26/6/2012 07:29

Yes, very positive statement.

[sussexseagull] 20/6/2012 19:53

Ah, that's more like it! (nudging 40p)

My last post on here (Nr 1006) was a few years ago when the share price was having immense trouble 'breaking out' from its 8-15p trading range.

If I don't post for a few more years I'm expecting '100p by Xmas' (insert your year of choice)

Back soon?

:-)

NB: I'm a long-term 'buy and hold' type.

[ross1314] 19/6/2012 10:00

Thanks Dave I somehow missed that.
