Change in Sector

In addition, a request has been made to the FTSE ICB Advisory Committee for the Group to be reclassified from the 'Business Support Services' sector into 'Software' which more appropriately reflects the Group's activities. Should FTSE agree with this request, a further announcement will be made when the reclassification takes effect.

Cheers Aishah, that's good to hear (OT : looks like Techinvest have done the trick for VENN too!).

The SCSW article is extremely compelling. If I didn't already have a decent holding here/didn't know about Blancco I'd certainly have been looking to buy here.

It was good to see a clear explanation of the revenue model, particularly the high recurring revenues which I wasn't aware of.

[nw99] 04/4/2016 10:44

Blanco is the big write up sharewatch

[battlebus2] 04/4/2016 10:28

Thanks AISHAH, 320 is a reasonable first target..

[aishah] 04/4/2016 10:26

Techinvest have an update in the latest issue highlighting the rapid growth in Blancco's markets due to tighter legislation, high profile data breaches and the quality of the technology. They say Equity development are predicting eps growth of 30% per annum for the foreseeable future. If that happens then we're looking at multiples of current price down the line imo. Pannmure have a 320p target. dyor

[pj 1] 04/4/2016 10:25

If the BoD perform as well as they Present then we should be on to a winner here. Bit too much Blue sky yet for me so holding my medium sized position.

Nice to see the rise though

[battlebus2] 04/4/2016 10:21

Thanks Nurdin.....

[nurdin] 04/4/2016 10:18

No price target but as they say,this is not about short term valuation...its about the broad picture emerging and how the Blancco products could one day be embedded in virtually every electronic/mobile device.

But a word of warning,SCSW do have a habit of getting carried away ;o)

[albanyvillas] 04/4/2016 10:17

Mmmm good one

[battlebus2] 04/4/2016 10:08

Can you provide any price targets without giving away too much for subscribers.

[nurdin] 04/4/2016 09:57

Must admit I never liked their repair business but hadnt realised they had such a big jewel in their crown in Blancco ! The SCSW article is a compelling read and for me, makes this the most exciting stock in the market right now!

[nw99] 04/4/2016 08:13

Bought a chunk await developments

[nw99] 04/4/2016 07:55

Sharewatch saying time to buy

[al101uk] 29/3/2016 13:35

Thanks metis20, some useful info there.

[al101uk] 16/3/2016 14:13

Because it's likely to fall back after the tender?

First time I've been involved in this kind of return of capital and it seems like a pretty terrible idea to be honest.

[eclair] 16/3/2016 13:57

Agreed weatherman. I'm guessing that the tender price will be close to the 250p maximum to make it worthwhile selling. But then I would expect the share price to move closer to this price as people buy the right to qualify for the tender (as far as I know there is no cut off date yet - someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

So maybe the tender price will be closer to the current sp, but why then would we sell?

[weatherman] 16/3/2016 13:42

So you can offer for tender a portion of your stock to get a payout, then find you're are under invested in this company and buy some more at a higher price? A special dividend might be better for some?

[eclair] 16/3/2016 13:28

Rivaldo, thanks for pasting that info. Please excuse my laziness.

[al101uk] 16/3/2016 12:19

That's quite an achievement, if anyone looks at the hacker conventions that have taken place over a number of years there have been many presentations on the difficulties of deleting/recovering data from an SSD. It's been a real minefield for a number of years.

I think this one covers some of the issues:

Good news - the patent application in the USA referred to in the results has been granted to Blancco:



"Blancco 5: Secure, reliable and verifiable SSD erasure

As solid-state drives (SSDs) replace hard disk drives (HDDs), enterprise users now require a secure, reliable and verifiable way to wipe data from a myriad of SSD vendors.

March 15, 2016 -- 16:11 GMT (16:11 GMT) | Topic: Storage

Are you an IT admin that has SSDs in need of erasure piling up around you? You're not alone, and as HDDs are slowly being replaced with SSDs, the headaches associated with erasure are just going to get worse.

Having the right tool to do the job helps tremendously.

Blancco Technology Group, makers of the Blancco 5 software erasure tool, have today been awarded a patent by the US Patent Office (patent number 9286231) for the unique, secure and verifiable method by which the product erases data from SSDs, whether they are end-of-life, or being moved to a different machine.

What makes Blancco 5 different to most other tools is that it has been specifically designed to erase SSDs from numerous different vendors. The patented process consists of:
•A multi-phase, proprietary SSD erasure approach that utilizes all available security protocols supported by SSDs
•Automated techniques to remove system BIOS freeze locks, enabling access to key internal security features of an SSD
•Procedures that root out those drives that give false positives about their internal erasure processes
•Third-party benchmark testing and validation
•A comprehensive tamper-proof report to confirm erasure results and serve as an essential part of compliance and auditing requirements

"With benefits such as durability, speed, reliability, energy efficiency and better overall performance, it's no wonder so many organizations favor SSDs over hard disk drives as their preferred data storage device," says Pat Clawson, CEO of Blancco Technology Group. "At the same time, budgetary and resource constraints have driven IT administrators to reuse SSDs whenever possible."

"Unfortunately, knowledge of the proper SSD erasure methods and tools has not been anywhere near as fast or as ubiquitous as the SSD adoption rate," continued Clawson. "And when free tools/software are used (as they so often are), it makes matters even worse because such tools cannot adequately do the job and leave large amounts of data accessible."

While tools such as DBAN - which is also owned by the Blancco Technology Group - are great for consumers, they don't support SSDs and can't offer audit-ready reporting for regulatory compliance.

In addition to providing tamper-proof erasure audit trail, Blancco 5 also supports over a dozen different erasure standards, making it perfect whether you need a quick wipe, or an ultra-paranoid totally secure wipe."
