Microsoft partnership pays off!!


I like this bit.

The company has been #1 in thin-client market share for the
last seven years, and has been named Microsoft "Embedded Partner of the
Year" for three years running.

looks like evo don't want the price rising to much and have switched to the offer after the 2 large buys.
If they have clients they want to let in this would explain the large trades last week and why they want them in.

Well that's a good start to the week.

Not being a techie myself, can anyone explain what the revenue implications are likely to be?

Certainly sounds good, but sometimes difficult to evaluate the important bit on these type of deals, i.e. how much money it's worth!

Depends on the basis on which it is sold. I would expect a $ charge per client usage..Even if small, the potential usage must run into millions of end users so it is not unreasonable to says $ millions a year.


As for magnitude.. think of a range between 1 and 20 with the range starting small and growing year by year. Whether it will reach 20 or 5 or 15, only time will tell.

If it works and saves clients money then it will gain greater acceptance....and revenues will rise...

evo are doing there very best to hold the price back and I believe it is because they are short.
2.6m buys incl 700k mm buys and 500k sells, only up 1.25p which says it all really.

i will be honest ( as always ). closed my modest 15k buy ( 16.35) for 18.15p.
always happy to get back in

Greetings to you Superrod.
I'm curious.
Were you holding 15000 worth of shares / 15,000 shares
I'm looking for a further rise upto results soon.
Good luck to all TAD holders.

15k shares as a trade, but the guys on the bbs are well aware i have shedloads. i just like the odd small trade to keep the adrenalin going.

superrod
Its nice to know that you bought 15k on a t20 on fri from the hb at 17.35 and that they probably had to buy 700k at 18p today.

Dont forget now guys, up early tomorrow.
The big one is coming!
Will it be tomorrow or Wednesday?
A big Wednesday for all you surfer fans.

(PR NEWSWIRE) MCI Launches On-Demand Application Service
MCI Launches On-Demand Application Service

- Companies Can Now Intelligently Distribute Software Over MCI's Global IP
Network to Enhance Productivity and Optimize Resources -

ASHBURN, Va., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MCI, Inc. (MCIA.PK) today
introduced its On-Demand Application Service, a new managed solution that
helps businesses intelligently distribute software to end-users via MCI's
global IP network. Delivering on its Convergence Networking strategy, MCI's
new on-demand service addresses the growing challenge businesses face in
distributing software to multiple locations and hundreds of users. With this
first-of-its-kind service, companies can now more easily distribute software
releases and patch updates, better control software licenses and track
software usage under a pay-as-you-go model.
"As more companies leverage the power of IP, MCI is using its global IP
network in a new way to empower a host of new business capabilities," said
Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president, Product Management. "MCI's On-Demand
Application Service is bringing together the power of computing and networking
to deliver the benefits of convergence to our customers."
Available immediately, MCI's new fully managed offering builds on the
"software-as-a-service" concept and helps companies lower total cost of
ownership, optimize company resources and improve network utilization. With a
simple connection to MCI's IP network, companies can utilize MCI's streaming
application delivery platform to centrally deploy and locally execute
Windows-based software. As a result, On-Demand Application Service customers
can benefit from several new capabilities, including automated software
entitlement, compliance, license tracking and extensive monitoring, metering
and reporting capabilities.
Hosted at an MCI data center and centrally streamed over the company's
global IP network to user desktops, the service enables companies to support
corporate-wide usage of applications to geographically dispersed users and the
"extended" enterprise, resulting in better performance and faster download
rates than more traditional methods. MCI is utilizing the latest technology
from Endeavors Technology, a leading provider of on-demand software tools.
A key advantage of this service is its extensive license compliance and
usage tracking capabilities that provide businesses with valuable statistical
information at the desktop level. With these features, MCI customers can log
all usage and check for compliance each time an application is requested using
a Web-based interface. This provides the ability to create a software audit of
licenses in use and to assess users by specific application. Offering
customers a new and better way to plan for software purchases, MCI's On-Demand
Application Service also provides strong anti-piracy and license management
control features.
One of the first to utilize this service is MCI's internal department
responsible for software and hardware contract administration and license
compliance. Enabling the distribution of six different software application
deployments initially to 200+ users, MCI has stopped shipping CD-ROMS to
corporate users and eliminated the time and effort spent installing the
software. Now MCI can push the software simultaneously to end users quickly,
easily and securely with the ability to monitor application usage, helping the
department to become more efficient in managing software licenses and better
informed when making software-purchasing decisions. As a result, MCI is
reducing operating expenses and improving overall efficiencies through
automation.
MCI's On-Demand Application Service is easily integrated with the
company's other offerings, including its Remote Access, Wide Area Networking,
Data Center, Security and Content Delivery services, to deliver a
comprehensive communication solution to customers.
MCI's Convergence Networking strategy blends old and new, voice and data,
and public and private networking capabilities to deliver new business
advantages for its customers. As computing and telecommunications converge,
MCI is uniquely positioned to lead the market and deliver on the promise of a
more efficient and effective communications infrastructure that allows
businesses to enhance productivity and optimize resources at all levels of an
organization.

About MCI
MCI, Inc., (MCIA.PK), is a leading global communications provider,
