Scroll down to updates for news.



My thoughts - their may be the possibility of further rollouts of yullbe.

Re brokers - they meet with management and without being given explicit sensitive information they read between the lines and are steered towards general market dynamics to produce independent forecasts / brokers notes. But I agree that as a private investor it is sometimes possible to do this equally well as an individual.

I don't understand what these brokers actually do to communicate the strategy - The company seem to do this quite clearly. Mostly broker's information is not even accessible by retail investors. So that leaves institutions and family offices. Surely these people can read Annual Reports and trading updates?

Seriously what do brokers do?

SteveD - thanks re explanation of share price movement. It sounds like the Company wasn't satisfied that its message / strategy was being communicated as well as it could have been. They may have received a low ball offer which led to a fall out with N1 Singer. I would expect a note out from Numis in next few weeks which should shore up their defences if they have received an approach.

Thank you and couldn't agree more with your feedback also, particularly prime dictator BJ (feel frustrated just thinking about it - most definitely the less said the better).

Okay Numis as sole broker. Reasons ? looking to move out of AIM or looking to sell, any thoughts welcome ?

most of todays rise - 6.5p - occurred yesterday but due to MM shenanigans it was marked down to no change at market close. So at open this morning it regained the 6.5p. Whatever a 9p rise over 2 days is the best we've seen for sometime. It's hard to say what's behind it other than supply/demand and more positive sentiment.

My primary concern is that OMG are vulnerable to a take over. With a depressed share price and relatively weak £ a company of this quality will be a very tempting target. Really don't want this to happen as the future looks very bright all things being equal. Consequently the next 5 years should be much more rewarding for shareholders, with a progressive dividend policy to boot.

Once the stupidity of Covid is behind us (less said the better) OMG should quickly be back to full steam ahead, especially with all the confetti, whoops money, sloshing around courtesy of governments unprecedented money printing worldwide, (another less said the better).

AIMO DYOR.

Surely the link with Panasonic hardware isn't behind today's price rise? There must be something else? Any ideas? Re-opening of theme parks using LBVR?

PANASONIC PARTNERS WITH YOTTA TO OFFER THE FUTURE IN CONNECTED ASSET MANAGEMENT12th November 2020 at 10:57AM

[krobertson878] 11/11/2020 17:01

Nice tick up today ?

[lignum] 04/11/2020 10:38

Getting Yotta to profitability is a great step. This must be mostly recurring business and any new wins should be high margin and have a big impact on the bottom line. Looking forward to new contract announcements here.

[steved] 03/11/2020 16:01

OMG were profitable and had healthy cash flow in difficult circumstances. Both group businesses continued to build for the future. Much more meat on the bone come the prelims. Guidance on future prospects will be key.

[bbluesky] 03/11/2020 12:44

Yotta profitable 2nd half is major news. A first as I recollect.

[mfhmfh] 03/11/2020 11:26

steady year for OMG given Covid-19. back to growth in 2021 hopefully. All IMHO.

games, thank you for posting the above link. I read The Standard just this evening funnily enough. What with this and the news generally coming through from both Vicon and Yotta don't match with the rather depressed share price.

We've usually had a trading update by now for the full year. Will be interesting to learn what's happened since H1. Shouldn't have too long to wait?

Blue IoT and Yotta join forces (26th October 2020)

Blue IoT and Yotta join forces to bring asset management and smart building and environmental services to customers worldwide.

Working together, the two companies will drive efficiencies and reduce carbon footprint for customers through digital transformation of assets and operations.

Leamington Spa – 26 October 2020 – Australia-based IoT smart cities integration services firm, Blue IoT has signed a collaborative partnership agreement with UK-based asset management software provider, Yotta. The partnership will allow the two organisations to work together to offer customers infrastructure asset management - connecting everything from waste bins to streetlights to drainage gulleys - alongside high-quality low carbon footprint smart buildings, energy and environmental services management.

Where appropriate, both parties will refer their customers and prospects to the other’s solutions and services and highlight the benefits of these, as well as actively looking for opportunities to develop joint proofs of concept to demonstrate their capabilities to customers. Moreover, both Yotta’s connected asset management platform, Alloy and Blue IoT’s Cloud based IoT building & Energy management system (BEMS), Encompass Blue, feature open application programming interfaces (APIs). This enables end customers to integrate the two systems together and also integrate them with their own infrastructure together with other applications.

Yotta is already involved in two proof of concepts based on IoT capabilities in the Australasian region: the City of Ryde green bus shelter project in Sydney Australia and a highways management and maintenance project for Auckland System Management (ASM) in New Zealand. It expects the agreement with Blue IoT will enable it to develop other opportunities into proof of concepts and long-term commercial opportunities.

Anique Bravenboer, alliance manager, Yotta, said: “Historically, we have been associated with traditional highways and waste management opportunities with UK-based local authorities and councils. Those markets will continue to be strong for us. However, we are also looking to expand into new geographies and market sectors. Our interactions with customers increasingly start with IoT today and this is a space we want to grow into more moving forwards.

“This new partnership will help us to sustain this focus on IoT as well as significantly expanding the cost savings and efficiency gains we can offer our local authority customers,” she continued. “Working with Blue IoT represents a value add for Yotta. Through Alloy we can offer customers better connectivity to all of their infrastructure assets. Thanks to our agreement with Blue IoT, we will also be able to offer them better smart building and energy management including a range of COVID-19 risk mitigation services – particular indoors across their offices, facilities and sites. “

Bob Sharon, founder and chief innovation officer, Blue IoT, said: “We are delighted to be working with Yotta, with which we share a strong focus on introducing technology initiatives to benefit customers and reduce carbon footprint. Working with Yotta allows us to add asset management to our portfolio and expand our capability from inside buildings to helping to deliver efficiencies in waste management and environmental services outdoors. We can also add value to the proposition by bringing in innovative service provider partners in and around the asset management both indoors and outdoors.
