Let's revisit the conversation when 237, Igoe and I have doubled our money, or more, probably within 3 months.

You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

[terrytibbz] 28/4/2008 10:11

so what is non-replicable about their technology that will offer contracts with margin? please educate me. i dont like to get confused over fine details like the difference between CCEC and CC&EC, lol.

[howdy do da] 28/4/2008 09:58

Well said 237.

[237gmoney] 28/4/2008 09:06

Terry, I really dont think you know what IGP are about??? IGP dont win contracts by themselves, they get the big guys to do it for them, Gemalto, Verisign, and RSA to name a few. Then these companies use IGP's product and fit it around theirs. Thats why IGP have a 99% profit margin. They dont sell straight to the customer, well at least not on a big scale.
The UK ID card will likely be won by companies like IBM, Gemalto, Microsoft, etc and IGP which is now compatable with Oracle will be part of the make up supplying the actual PKI cards. If you dont understand the business I suggest you dont buy the shares. But Low liquidity suggests one big contract such as the german health card with Gemalto and we will all double our money.

I agree.

But IGP will not be around long enough to worry about it.

It will be taken out well before that!

[terrytibbz] 28/4/2008 00:02

the scalability that you guys ae beating one out over will be the company's achilles heal. the technology is non-patentable therefore it will not be able to scale profits fasster that revenue and contracts willbe margin sensivitive. in a large market the major players will kill the firm off.

[terrytibbz] 27/4/2008 23:51

forget it, gcm is worth 150x the market cap and there is no risk, the only uncertainty is timing.

hawdy getting ready for holiday:

just browsing :0)

[howdy do da] 27/4/2008 20:17

terry is just here to wind me up as I sold out of a stock, he is still in.

terry, make yourself useful and buy some IGP tomorrow. I bet you make more money on it over the next 2 months than GCM. I bet! Seriously I do.

Looks ready to fly this week...about time!

"Intercede calculates that the combined value of the projects outlined above and other existing projects is several times its current annual revenue run rate. This does not include any further contracts that Intercede are likely to win in the future, which gives the Directors considerable grounds for optimism."

With a fixed cost base under 3mm, margins of 99% and revenues from contracts already won of several times this year's 2.8mm, I think they'll make a lot of money. They are now working on 5x as many significant projects as just two years ago. The main uncertainty, as with any government contract, is timing of implementation.

[terrytibbz] 27/4/2008 17:17

have you also no experience of companies getting govenment contracts? they hardly ever make money out of them...

[terrytibbz] 27/4/2008 17:15

these guys have the contracts or not? all it is is a card and a reader and a secure database network. not very patentable...

igoe where is the bit about this company getting a contract again?

[howdy do da] 27/4/2008 14:22

terry, you are so funny. Hilarious. Try adding US ports, NATO conferences and 10 other big ticket projects to the "door entry systems for small offices" product range.

You really put a smile on my face.

[igoe104] 27/4/2008 12:35

YOU need to do alittle more research my friend, have a good look at the company web-site.

here is abit on the olympic id card.

[terrytibbz] 27/4/2008 10:38

what evidence is there that these guys will do anything more than door entry systems for small offices?

[terrytibbz] 27/4/2008 10:32

dont governments usually build customised systems and not use off the shelf technology? why would they use whatever IGP's technology is? how can an ID card system be patentable?

'Smart Credentials' to Emergency Response Personnel During First-Responder
Date: 25/04/2008

Verizon Business today demonstrated its ability to provide security and communications solutions to public safety agencies under crisis conditions, in a mock disaster demonstration run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Operating from one of its mobile communication command centers at the Women in the Military for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery here, Verizon Business provided smart credentials for identity credentialing of emergency response officials participating in three disaster scenarios, as well as state-of-the art voice and Internet connections.

FEMA's use of the smart credentials issued by Verizon Business and other vendors enables quick and easy electronic validation of identity credentials for emergency response officials during emergency situations. This approach lets FEMA ensure that only individuals who have their identity electronically validated and their "attributes" (skill sets) electronically authenticated can enter a designated area to perform specific tasks. For example, based on credentialing, a police officer would be authorized to enter a disaster zone with a weapon. It is crucial in emergencies that emergency response officials and other key personnel are quickly and accurately assessed and then directed to the appropriate zones.

The use of smart-card technology enables FEMA to comply with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, which was developed to satisfy the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), the presidential mandate establishing common identification requirements for federal employees and contractors. It includes the use of smart credentials for federal employees and contractors to gain access to the appropriate physical and logical systems.

"Because we never know when disaster will strike, preparation is key," said Kerry Bailey, vice president of Verizon Business Security Solutions. "During a disaster, it is critical that emergency response officials can access the scene swiftly, and immediately go to work. Verizon Business' credentialing service enables us to validate that the right folks are at the right place so they can deliver the right level of care and support."

Mobile Communication Command Center

Verizon Business' state-of-the-art mobile command center is equipped with individual telephone stations using wired voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) telephones, wireless IP telephones, and wired and wireless high-speed access for laptops. When the vehicle is deployed, users can make local, long-distance and international phone calls or access the Internet, via satellite technology, connecting to the Verizon Business global IP network.

These vehicles are available for use by Verizon customers -- including government, and large and small businesses -- for mobile communication use in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Among many other deployments, the vehicles have been used to support relief efforts along the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; in New York City following the September 11, 2001, attacks; in Southern California during the 2003 and 2007 wildfires; and in Oklahoma City following the bombing of the federal building there in 1995. The vehicles have also been deployed to provide enhanced communications services to thousands of U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.

Verizon Business, one of the largest providers of communications services to the U.S. federal government, serves virtually every federal agency. Government agencies and enterprises rely on Verizon Business to help them manage security risk and protect critical company assets. Verizon Business Security Solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of security services that include threat and vulnerability management; identity management; security and compliance programs; and security strategy and consultation. The more than 1,100 security professionals around the globe deliver these offerings through a range of managed services, professional services and products.

Good to see more progress in the right direction, and on such low volumes too. This will go through the roof if we get some really good news, which I am expecting.

[237gmoney] 25/4/2008 14:22

Nice to see only 2p spread now as well rather than 3p. Should encourage more to join in.

[237gmoney] 25/4/2008 14:13

Guess that 50,000 is no more igoe, looking at the chart I always thought the next move would be upwards with results in early June and possible news on UK ID contracts in May.

With the new version on MyID 8 as well, companies like Thales and the safesign products will be looking for more so a possible new contract on the cards....

Hopefully this share picks up soon as all my others are dead at the moment.

[igoe104] 25/4/2008 13:54

great opportunity for ANYONE with any spare cash, can pick up 50,000 shares for 35.5p today.

WITH so many projects igp are involved in, this company is a bargain with an 11 million cap.

[237gmoney] 24/4/2008 11:21

Isn't that a similar project to what the UK are doing with the airport workers at BAA. IGP are in a prime position to get the UK airport workers and TWIC will put them high on the list for the US airport staff

[wjccghcc] 24/4/2008 11:10

That's pretty important. 3 million airport employees supervised by the TSA (who run TWIC). If Lockheed do a good job on TWIC then they'll be in a strong position for the airports as there's a lot of similarities regarding rugged usage etc..
