Geong & StatPro join the ICIS stable
We begin 2009 in the same fashion in which we ended last year, with a number of exciting and impressive clients being added to our growing roster. For us, 2008 was about discovering what the small tech companies and their financial audiences needed most. We have thoroughly updated our offering to cater for the drastic change in market conditions and this has been well received not only by our existing clients, but by those with whom we met for the first time. And, from the increased amount of press coverage our clients have been receiving, it looks like the financial media are also appreciative of our methods.
Being the only TMT specialist agency in the City, we are able to talk each and every day to the people that influence outcomes. We remain focused on ensuring ICIS clients receive more accurate and more frequent press coverage, that they have better attended analyst presentations and that they generally receive the most professional service of any financial PR in the City. This method of working will continue into 2009.
New Clients
Two new AIM listed technology companies have joined ICIS in the last month. We now advise 19 companies on AIM, with one on the Borsa Italia. Our new clients are:
GEONG International Limited (AIM: GNG)
GEONG has established itself as one of the market leaders in the PRC in providing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software products (PortalAgeTM) and related services for large enterprises. ECM is composed of three major software technologies, namely Content Management, Collaboration and Portal. Collectively, ECM technology brings together people, business processes, and information inside and outside of the enterprise. In today's highly regulated and interactive business world, organisations need to operate in a structured way and at the same time give people the freedom to innovate and grow.
Highly focused in its offerings, GEONG takes pride in the fact that it helps its clients through the use of ECM technology to help drive their business improvements. ECM seamlessly combines collaboration with content management, and transforms information into knowledge that provides the foundation for innovation, compliance and accelerated growth.
In recent years GEONG has experienced rapid growth and was recognised at the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 China and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific award presentation ceremonies. In November of this year, GEONG was identified by AIM experts as one of the AIM's best 45 companies from among more than 1700 companies. GEONG was the only Chinese company in AIM's best 45.
StatPro Group plc (AIM: SOG)
StatPro sells a suite of software products to investment management companies, facilitating investment management decisions by providing best-of-breed analytics software for performance, attribution, GIPS compliance and risk, and also the appropriate market data that these systems require, to support each stage of the process.
By combining solid expertise, high quality data, cutting edge technology, and excellent customer service, StatPro provides integrated solutions that reinforce productivity and competitiveness.
StatPro's suite of products and data services can be used in any combination to create a solution tailored to each customer’s needs, all within a Software as a Service (SaaS) hosted environment.
In November, StatPro announced the launch of a system for pricing complex financial assets, with a unique “pricing challenge” process that allows clients to query the price they receive using a fully transparent approach.
StatPro floated on the London Stock Exchange in May 2000 and transferred its listing in June 2003 to AIM. StatPro has grown its recurring revenue from less than £1 million in 1999 to £28.4 million at end December 2008.
