A new thread that may swim in hibernation for a few days or weeks as the process of evolution takes place ......

Imagine a slimmed down debt free company with one division stacked with orders and self financing with cash in the bank.

Then imagine a partner for the other division with pockets so deep that they could fund a rocket to the moon ..... and back

Dreaming of course but Tads can do that to you ..... what a gem or is that a bygone dream as well .....

Tadpole-Cartesia and Azteca Systems Align to Create Centers-For-Field
Intelligence for ESRI Enterprises

Carlsbad (CA) and Salt Lake City (UT), July 8, 2003 - Tadpole-Cartesia and
Azteca Systems today jointly announce a strategic alignment of their
technologies to create centers-for-field intelligence for the world's
ESRI-based public works and utility industries.

Under the terms of a strategic business agreement, the firms will align
their Go! Sync field GIS and Cityworks Enterprise Asset Management software
and market them as a one-stop package to their respective customers.

Azteca's customers include the cities of Houston Texas, Long Beach,
California, and Newport News, Virginia. Tadpole-Cartesia is a
vendor-of-choice to Ordnance Survey and other national mapping agencies,
utilities such as ScottishPower, TXU, and Consumers Energy, and to local
municipalities, which include Burbank Water and Power. Both firms are
strategic business partners of ESRI, the world's leading developer of GIS
technology.

"Clearly, we're delighted to extend our business to support Azteca's
flagship Cityworks products - on both sides of the Atlantic," says Jason
Linley, director of Tadpole-Cartesia's North American operations. "This
agreement paves the way for our companies to better serve customers with
cutting solutions that will improve the quality, productivity, and
effectiveness of field operations. The technology fit is logical and
addresses real organizational needs."

Tom Palizzi, Azteca's director of marketing and sales, adds: "Aligning
Cityworks with Tadpole-Cartesia's flagship products is good news for the
industry and good news for our companies. A simple call to these field
intelligence centers will enable each firm's customers to gain business
advantage and field personnel productivity through our combined offerings."

Tadpole-Cartesia's Go! Sync software automates and secures the delivery of
GeoDatabase from enterprise GIS to the field. Instead of streaming
gigabyte-heavy maps to regional offices or mobile work teams that
occasionally connect to the local network, only small packets of new mapping
data are delivered to authenticated users when on-line, even via the Web.
Now with Go!Sync, maps stored on field devices are automatically updated
without manual intervention.

Azteca's Cityworks is an enterprise asset management product. The ESRI-based
solution enables public works and utilities to inventory physical assets,
issue and track works orders, and manage customer needs in one seamless
environment. Cityworks is easy-to-use and based on open technology.

Cartesia is starting to ring in the pounds!

All that R&D at ETI will soon start to follow suit.

Moneylender:

What makes you think that ETI will follow suit? Please explain.

prodman:

Interesting, but not really relevant to Tadpole plc here, as the hardware division has been sold off/spun out.

MightyMicro:

Agree, but it's interesting what they may have given up to concentrate on software.

prodman:

Sure, I think that it was a mistake to sell the hardware business. The wisdom inside was that they could afford the R+D for either the hardware or the software but not both. So they let the hardware go. I know not what led to the departure of BH and GB, but one suspects that this decision may have had something to do with it.

MM

hardware has minute margins plus all the aggro that goes with it/maintenance etc........software 85%+
QED

Hi Clarvis, the word friend is slightly misleading for me and ains!, associate yes, but having never met the man friend would be a little too much for me to claim.
That said, I and many others do converse at times and I am well aware of his expertise at trading and his ability to use lateral thinking, which sometimes creates conflict of opinions with others here.

Keeping a watch on tad , as I do, allows me sometimes to second guess, (as do many others) tads announcements, no insider knowledge just doing my own research :0)
Looking back you will see my predictions were not that far out if you check the news flow from them.

If you want the kind of news that will double the share price (and incidentally it has done that of late) you will need far more info than I could ever supply.
I invest in tad because I believe their product is ..will be..a winner, I have said on many occasions 2003 will be tads year! And I can again confidently predict news is on its way. just what that news will be, we can only guess.. at this time, however DYOR does help to predict what may be in the pipeline :0)

I offer my sincere apologies if I mislead you in any waybut watch this space. Lol

Oldolie/sequestor,

TIA

superrod:

Yes, but you only get software margins like 85% if anybody buys it.

try not to be logical MM, it just arouses passions in the financially inept.

err...Clarvis? Does this constitute news?

from Shares Mag......It has been a dramatic half year for this network and utilities software company. Its early promise, thanks to a tie up with leading US software ESRI, has been overshadowed by the hefty 4.3M loss from the disposal of the hardware business. The chief executive's exit in march brought a new lease of life to the share price. With the order book for core product Cartesia ten times bigger than last year, the shares warrant a speculative BUY.
thought I'd just throw it in......am I forgiven? lol...just joking.

Sequestor,

thanks and good luck with the litigation.

ps. Any good tips like NSB? (Think you put me on to it--thanks)

mightymicro
isnt that the same for any product?

olie banned....best news in years. he should be prepared to take what he dishes out imo. far too concerned whether a poswr has hus spelkchecjer operatinq.
only my opinion but is largely responsible for the demise of this and other bulletin boards. what a shame he pays premium rates or he would be out for good. in my 5 years trawling financial sites he is BY FAR the worst culprit but hides behind a perceived moral high ground.

super-odd,
me banned? , do grow up you naif, this has turned serious, and you may be involved, I posted a few minutes ago on the other side so don`t listen to the rest of your gang, they are being picked off one by one, and the pips haven`t even started to get squeEEEEEzzed yet, trust me when riled I GO THE WHOLE HOG
