ARRIA NLG plc is a software development business. Its target is to be the global leader in the development and deployment of mission critical, core industrial, enterprise level Natural Language Generation software technologies. Natural Language Generation (NLG) is the computerised process of analysing and converting Big Data into actionable information.

The Group's core product is known as the Arria NLG Engine.

Global corporations are having to deal with an ever-growing amount of data resulting from the digitisation of transactions and industrial processes and from technological advancements in data capture. Computer networks are now producing and storing digital data at such a rate that this data is becoming increasingly difficult to be fully utilised. This development and the challenge to make optimal use of this data has become known as "Big Data".

The market opportunity for the Arria NLG Engine has grown substantially through the emergence of the Big Data phenomenon.

The Arria NLG Engine is a form of artificial intelligence, specialised in communicating information which is extracted from complex data sources in natural language (i.e. as if written by a human).

The Arria NLG Engine comprises of two main elements:
•an analytics component that is programmed to embody the expert knowledge of the domain in which it operates; and
•a natural language generation component, which embodies the skill required to communicate information articulately using natural language.


This combination of analytics and natural language generation means it can be used to automatically generate written reports in potentially any language for any audience that reads as if written by a person expert in their field. The Directors believe that the Arria NLG Engine provides value where many Big Data analytical tools are limited at the human-machine interface, being the point at which analytic results are communicated to humans.

The Arria NLG Engine automatically communicates results, not in numbers or graphics that may require further analysis and explanation, but in narratives that are designed to read as if written by a human expert. Although it is early days for the Group’s business, its technology is already deployed in a mission critical environment, monitoring large scale industrial machinery located on oil and gas production platforms in deepwater Gulf of Mexico for a major global oil and gas company and at a government national weather service.

The scientific foundation for the Arria NLG Engine has been developed over the past four years, but is based on more than 20 years of research and knowledge gained by the Data2Text Founders at the University of Aberdeen.

In 2009, the University of Aberdeen, Prof. Ehud Reiter, Dr. Yaji Shripada, Ian Davy and John Perry formed Data2Text Limited to develop and commercialise various NLG technologies.

Since 2009, the Data2Text science and technology team has continued to develop the commercial potential of its NLG software technologies culminating in the Arria NLG Engine.

Arria has been working with Data2Text since May 2012 when it acquired a 20 per cent. interest in Data2Text and was granted an option to acquire the remaining 80 per cent. On 25 October 2013 Arria acquired the remaining 80 per cent. of Data2Text.

very hard to evaluate "a realistic price" and ditto with WAND, as both are at the very cutting edge of new technology

Wand may as well cynic fall back some more. It has raced ahead of itself of late. :-))

NLG I am only guessing may not drop to a realistic price due to its possible prospects.

on that basis, "a realistic price" could be deemed to be even higher :-)

Is that ramping ? :-)) Just thought I would pose the question. Future Big data prospects have driven WAND.

Pulled this from the company site.

A key objective of Big Data analytics is to enable plain English narratives to be formed which can be used by people to make better decisions and to work more efficiently, adding value to business. Today, this process of producing what is known as "actionable analytics" still depends on intervention by human experts. The shortage of such human experts is a significant limitation on releasing the value locked within Big Data. The Arria NLG Engine has the potential to unlock that value by effectively undertaking the expert's role.

The Arria NLG Engine can automatically communicate its conclusions in actionable plain English narratives which one would believe were written by an expert member of the organisation staff. The Arria NLG Engine is a force multiplier, since, once embodied in software, the expert knowledge can be replicated effectively. This allows the Arria NLG Engine to do the work of many experts, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Shares - Accounts for the year to September 2012 reveal the company made £6.5 million of losses on just £62,554 of revenue. Cranking up commercialisation and boosting recurring sales are the main ambitions for 2014. No new money is being raised at the float as the company secured $40 million of fourth-round funding earlier this month, with a final $6.1 million instalment to be released on attainment of the market quotation.

sp down another 11% are we nearing the bottom?

qui sait?

The fall seems to have stopped, with investors buying in.

Buyers were appearing at the 160p price at closing time

looks like tomorrow the price should start the upward move again.

today was consolidation ( or tag of war ) where buyers are subdue by the last sellers of the pack as the price improved.

I see it climbed to 165p today. In this one for the long term

And that was the point where the last sellers of the pack sold as the bid improved

been lookin, but obviously in the wrong place. where can i find an application form for the Rossly IPO? or as a PI can't i take part in this IPO.

Alex

robertalexander, the IPO was meant to be at the back end of summer. They had supposedly accelerated their float plans following the stunning success of server replication expert WANdisco. Not heard a whisper yet of the IPO.

Amati Global Investors supports the charge as Rosslyn Analytics closes £2.1m funding round

by Erin Hunter | Dec 11, 2013


Investment to support R&D and growth strategies



London, November 11 2013 – Rosslyn Analytics, a leader in cloud-based data management and analytics, today announced that it has completed a £2.1 million investment. New investors included Amati Global Investors. The company’s principal existing investor, IQ Capital, also continued their support for Rosslyn, enabling the Company to take a further step towards its proposed IPO in 2014.

The new funding, which was supported by Cenkos, will be used to further expand international operations in the US and Europe, grow sales and marketing and invest in developing new product capabilities.

Frustrated by the high costs, extended time-to-market and inflexibility of legacy, on-premise data management and analytics solutions, FTSE 100, Fortune 500 and midmarket organisations including Aberdeen Asset Management, Clifford Chance and Coca-Cola Enterprises, are using Rosslyn Analytics’ RAPid platform to generate new opportunities from their data, drive deeper business intelligence and improve competitive performance. This unique value proposition, coupled with Rosslyn’s proven experience of working with high profile customers and partners served as the cornerstones driving the investment.

“Today’s businesses face the challenge of devising new strategies for extracting the most valuable analysis from their corporate data, and a cloud-based approach provides the greatest ease and flexibility for delivering these. For Amati, Rosslyn Analytics represents one of the most innovative and exciting prospects in this market by giving organisations accessible tools to provide sophisticated analysis of large and complex data sets,” said Dr Paul Jourdan, CEO, Amati Global Investors. “We have been impressed not just by Rosslyn’s product offering, but also by the way in which the company has been able to engage effectively with some very significant corporate customers and partners.”

“Good data is no longer good enough,” said Charles Clark, CEO, Rosslyn Analytics. “At Rosslyn, we’re addressing the critical requirement of supporting leading organisations to make strategic decisions, by enabling them to integrate and transform their raw and dirty data that resides in multiple systems into a foundation of increasingly valuable information. This disruptive technology is enabling companies to unlock the hidden value in their data, uncover new and valuable insights and accelerate innovation. The ability to rapidly integrate and connect data from multiple sources is a new frontier in enterprise analytics and Rosslyn is leading it.”

Thanks DC, i take it as it has been postponed until 2014 then IPO details will be released a bit nearer the time. Would hate to miss an opportunity if it is half as good as NLG was.

SP 140p down another 11% on low volume

In shares - with just two clients, minimal revenues and cash outflows, Arria may be in the fierce glare of the public markets gaze too early. It must now deliver and any disappointments could prompt a backlash.

More buys than sells and yet share price down, market makers are widening the price to cover their backside as the headline index is firmly lower.
I will keep a watch as is progressing
