I bought shares in this company at 4.5p in September 2003. I see they are rising. Can anyone tell me please the growth potential for this company as they have just been awarded several new contracts ?

Agree momentum, indicators are starting to turn up.

Which charting packages would you recommend?

Metastock is supposed to be one of the best, think Im going to buy it soon aswell.

Posted on the ADVFN site, dont know how true it is.

Death of the Mainframe? New survey finds PC servers growing in popularity among banks


The dominance of mainframe computers* in the banking industry is over. Increasingly, PC servers are taking over key banking data management functions such as direct information feed collection and capture of reference data. This is the view of 80% of financial data managers** surveyed recently by CMS WebView plc (CMS) a leading provider of software systems for real-time financial data distribution and management. In fact, 61% of market data managers at banks such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs report that their banks have already moved from mainframes to PC servers in certain key areas.

According to the survey, the move towards PC servers is a fairly recent trend in investment banking, driven partly by cost but also by PC servers offering scalability, familiarity and ease of use. More than half of those surveyed (54%) say it's only in the last three years that PC servers have started to replace mainframes in certain areas.

It's not only cost and ease of use that is helping PC servers, 74% of data managers said that their flexibility is the most compelling reason for replacing mainframes. A massive 89% said PC servers provide enough flexibility to enable them to react to changing patterns in user demand. And 87% can envisage a function such as data-warehousing running on a PC server solution.

TThere are some concerns over the rise of the PC server. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (65%) expressed concern about the over- dominance of Microsoft's Windows-based systems. Thirty-three percent worry about the lack of competition to Windows in the marketplace, with associated concerns about cost and lack of quality assurance voiced. And more worryingly, 73% believe an over-reliance on Windows- based systems could leave their bank vulnerable to security breaches. Because of this, 86% would consider using an alternative operating system to Windows. The majority of these (65%) would use Linux, which is also seen as cost-effective.

Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, commented:

"From the results of the CMS survey it's clear that the flexibility and reliability offered by PC servers makes them increasingly attractive for banks over the traditional mainstay of the mainframe. Modern PC servers can handle comfortably the vast amounts of data in real time that global banks must process, store and analyse 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The results of this survey correlate strongly with our day-to-day experience of financial institutions increasingly being prepared to consider PC Server based products, such as CMS's TDI(tm) system, as viable alternative solutions for the management of mission critical data."

Marked down today, but above news confirms positive outlook.

Is this another bear roar before the bulls finally win? Who knows?

IMHO, the dips give great buying opportunities. CMS is obviously vigourously targeting banks.

Good news, that market is huge!

The day-to-day experience bit sounds good. That market is massive and TDI could make considerable inroads into it.

The news flow from CMS is unusually sparse , this leads me to believe there could be a blockbuster annoucement due to be released soon.The management i believe are tying up several contracts ie TDI and PHROPHET X . My opinion is we as investors could be pleasantly suprised at the progress BOB ANTELL and his experienced group are making regards s24c

Technically breaking down.

Technically breaking down.

momentum what do youmean by that????

Sheny, the other option is that there is no news to announce.

and what with the football, wimbledon, summer hols etc.....sell in May come back in the autumn....etc (and if they sink further pick some up!)

I like round numbers, so just wanted to post number 1600 on this thread!

As for CWV, I remain confident, and feel that patience will reward us. The upside from these levels far outweighs the downside risk IMHO, particularly given the huge cash balance this company holds in the bank.

Strange to see a MM buy of 100k thats the first one I have seen for six months.
We are nearly at the half way mark, CMS have generally delivered on future
forecasts lets hope they keep it up.

I have just been adding to my holding at less than the M/M buy.
Dont know why the M/m bought at that price. Any one know who the M/M was?
Graeme.

Final comment as i know longer have a significant holding. Todays news was more or less on the cards as they had not landed a single contract during the past 6 months. In fact its been almost 16 months since the last major contract. Price imho will return back to the 4p level where it will probably stay until a TDI contract is signed. Reading beween the lines of todays statement, i wouldnt expect to much for the remainder of the year. CMS as i have commented earlier are going to find signing contracts very very tough. And being a company with a cap a few million only adds to the problem.

Yes very disappointing news.

Before we all turn out the lights on this thread, current market cap is 4.8m as against cash pile at 31/12/03 of 3.3m. Say they have spent 500k of that - is the substantive business really only worth 2m??

Looks like a v attractive takeover target now.
