Procurement analytics probably quite relevant with all them tariffs..... I wonder how I can capitalise on this..... for the sake of my company.......

[cloudwars] 01/4/2025 21:00

Yes, I must confess, I am Paul Watts. Sorry about that.

[tim8749] 01/4/2025 15:20

Cloudwars is CEO Paul Watts, it’s glaringly obvious.

[kemche] 01/4/2025 14:53

Thankfully I left whilst I was still somewhat gruntled. At the current price I too would be utterly disgruntled.

[harry163] 01/4/2025 14:10

cloudwars you are correct, we are all 'disgruntled' (polite form for very annoyed with the incompetent leadership team) investors. If you have any more influence than we have with the BoD, please ask them to do one decent thing, resign.

[cloudwars] 01/4/2025 13:24

I'm just an investor here. Made some decent money from it several years ago and was left with a tiny holding- I bought more after the news re Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the posters here are ex disgruntled employees /managers.

Kemche and cloudwars are obviously not generic investors in RDT, they either work for RDT or need to find reasons, other than incompetence, as to why the share price is where it is today.
Dreaming up a shorting cabal is rather desperate. There is not much left to short between here and zero. If there was a shorting cabal they would have taken their profits and run long ago. Probably soon after the CEO took over and the shares began to plummet from 350p.

[kemche] 29/3/2025 14:03

I suspect it is a shorting cabal that is operating across all such similar companies. Grrrr!!!

[cloudwars] 29/3/2025 12:28

You sound like Private38 ….. I truly believe there are multiple aliases here stemming from the same disgruntled punter.

In lieu of signed contracts, and with the board maintaining the sort of radio silence usually reserved for hostage negotiations, my FA and I have little to offer beyond blank stares and a growing sense of dread.

I rarely discuss my portfolio in forums, but judging by the recent surge in anguished soliloquies from verified holders on the RDT board, I suspect the collective pain threshold has been breached. Misery, as ever, logs in frequently.

[cloudwars] 27/3/2025 12:28

I'm amazed how many profiles here are relatively recent and only post on RDT. Weird?

[1jki] 27/3/2025 10:54

Wow! I'm amazed at the discussion here. I prefer to stick to facts. Since the Major Consultancy signed the contract to use RDT as their "Go To Market", partner 4 months ago, how many new contracts have needed an RNS? 0, so I guess no new contracts have been signed.

When you are floundering through the waves of a storm any flotsam appears a raft.

"We are delighted to have established a partnership with this leading consulting firm, which represents a key milestone in our partner-led go-to-market approach and sizeable new channel to market. The strength of the Consulting Partner's commitment to Rosslyn's solution is demonstrated by them funding a project to enable them to best utilise and present our platform to customers, particularly as this is the culmination of us having worked closely with many of their senior level employees in the US and the UK over the past year. We look forward to establishing a centre of excellence in the Consulting Partner's US operations, from which we expect to expand to other geographies, and to working together to deliver valuable spend intelligence for global corporations."

Harry163 has, with admirable clarity and economy of words, expressed what I have taken far too long to convey.

[harry163] 26/3/2025 13:53

We have seen the consultancy firm strategy before. It has never worked in the past and I doubt it will work this time, especially with the company looking so weak and desperate for any form of revenues.
If a consultancy truly valued the product and thought their long list of clients genuinely value it, they would buy the company, especially now the market cap is just above 2.5 million.
They just see these technology products as a nice add-on to their offerings, showing their clients that they are not just a 'bums on seats' consultancy but also looking at various technical solutions. More marketing smoke and mirrors than actual go to market strategy.

[cloudwars] 26/3/2025 12:28

The consultancy firm are recommending RDT's product to their clients of which there must be quite a few....? This excites me.

Emotions, understandably, run high as we are all under water. But we must, as ever, keep our heads — especially as others appear so willing to lose theirs. Now, Cloudwars, you make a fair and rather fine point with regard to the technology the firm seems to have created. But lets all be honest with ourselves: in the brutal theatre of enterprise software, it takes far more than a clever widget to win the war. I have observed, time and again, that lesser services — armed with sharper sales tactics and superior marketing — carry the day over their more technically gifted rivals. The market rarely finds its way to the clever widget – it’s the other way round. And these two wins are super examples of early adopters of a fine technology, but as we all know, the deep, dark and wide chasm needs to be crossed before any hint of success can be earned.
From what I have seen, our company has precious little sales & marketing left. In earlier days they could be heard and seen above the noise. And if, in their wisdom — or perhaps their folly — the leadership has resolved to become an engineering-first outfit at the expense of commercial capability, then they must, I say must, confront the harsh reality that no product, however finely wrought, sells itself.
To place one's hope in a single large consultancy firm as one's sole channel to market — well, I can think of few heavier stones to roll uphill. It is a monumental task to engage such behemoths, let alone activate and accelerate them. The alternative — white labelling our product, and enabling mid-cap and smaller partners — might yet yield fruit, but it must be done with speed, clarity, and conviction.
Let us, then, debate this matter vigorously and with robustness. Let us uncover what must be uncovered. For I fear — and I say this with neither relish nor rancour — that we have not yet heard the last of what appears to me to be the conduct of a broken and deceitful board.

ADVFN was set up specifically so that only shareholders can post on their forums. Nowhere have I read that they are discussion forums. So you have me there. Kudos.

[cloudwars] 25/3/2025 13:32

Do you hold any stock here? Bit sad if you're just hanging around to wait for a "I told you so" moment.

[kemche] 25/3/2025 12:16

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, you're only a daaaaay, awaaaaaaaay!

[cloudwars] 25/3/2025 12:10

Totally disagree. They must have an edge over competitors to have been chosen. Time will tell. (It's all very well spouting historical revenues but if ultimately the last generation of software was becoming less relevant or competitive then an overhaul was needed.)

[kemche] 25/3/2025 12:00

The proof of the head-turning pudding is in the accounts.
