Conditional Licence Agreement for Spend Analysis
RNS
RNS Number : 2299N
@UK PLC
04 September 2013
For Immediate release
4 September 2013
@UK PLC
("@UK" or the "Company")
Conditional Licence Agreement for Spend Analysis
@UK PLC (AIM:ATUK.L), the cloud eCommerce marketplace, is pleased to announce that Tungsten Corporation plc ("Tungsten") has signed a five year agreement to license @UK's Spend Analysis software, branded as "TungstenAnalytics", contingent upon the successful flotation of Tungsten on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, which Tungsten expects to take place in October 2013.
Under the terms of the license agreement, and subject to the flotation of Tungsten on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange becoming effective, @UK will receive up front establishment fees and installation costs, together not expected to be greater than £0.5m. The total maximum value to @UK over the initial five year period is £3.4m.
Tungsten has conditionally agreed to acquire OB10 Limited ("OB10"), a leading global business-to-business e-invoicing platform, with a network of 122 buyers and 140,000 suppliers (of which 77,939 were active in the past 12 months), providing a large line-level item global data set. Under the five year rolling license agreement, @UK's Spend Analysis software will enable "TungstenAnalytics" to be delivered across this global network.
An analysis by TungstenAnalytics of an anonymous sample of UK invoice data identified potential cost savings related to price variance of 1% of total spend; it is believed that a price benchmarking exercise could produce further savings of up to 4%.
Edmund Truell, Group CEO of Tungsten Corporation plc, commented, "We have an exciting opportunity to create a disruptive global player, by enhancing the offering of OB10's leading global e-invoicing network which already serves a number of the world's largest corporates and governments. In addition, we believe that TungstenAnalytics can provide considerable savings for buyers on the platform from which we would expect to benefit."
Ronald Duncan, Chairman of @UK plc, commented, "Tungsten carried out extensive market testing and our unique ability to rapidly analyse complex data down to line item level and immediately provide significant savings to our customers was fully proven. We look forward to working with Tungsten to deliver the benefits of TungstenAnalytics to the Tungsten customer base and our wider value proposition."

@UK PLC (AIM:ATUK.L), the cloud eCommerce marketplace, is pleased to announce that governments and enterprises in Asia Pacific now have an easier way to manage the procurement process with cloudBuy, the region's first business-to-business (B2B) integrated e-marketplace solution.
An exclusive partnership between Visa and @UK PLC, one of the largest e-commerce marketplace solutions, cloudBuy brings together an ecosystem of suppliers and buyers, regardless of geography, to offer cloud-based real-time integrated services thereby enabling a safe, controlled and convenient online purchasing experience. Visa is the only payment card accepted on cloudBuy.
"Many organisations in Asia Pacific are looking at ways to be more efficient by automating current procure-to-pay processes. This partnership with @UK PLC is timely, as we bring cloudBuy to the region, offering organizations a solution that addresses their needs," said Olivia Leong, Regional Head of Enterprise & Government Payment Solutions, Commercial Products, Visa, Asia Pacific, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa
"The partnership combines the strengths of Visa's issuer relationships, a proven network and a track record of bringing innovative payment solutions to the market, with @UK PLC's foresight in developing e-commerce and cloud computing solutions," she added.
Key features of cloudBuy include:
· First B2B procurement solution with complete pricing accuracy, which improves efficiency by encouraging take-up of corporate cards in a B2B environment
· Spend insight solutions which cover price variance, benchmarking, spend analysis and supplier rationalization
· Marketplace facilities that span contract pricing to requisition approval processes in a controlled ecosystem
· Reporting tools that cover purchasing data and analytical tools including CenSA carbon analysis.
"This multi-faceted partnership with Visa is an extension of our collaboration in the UK since 1999. It now allows us to expand our cloud-based e-marketplace value proposition to organizations globally not previously available. We will be able to resolve the security, efficiency and pricing issues that is prevalent in legacy systems, hence ensuring that we remain steadfastly committed to helping organizations innovate purchasing processes and achieving their strategic business goals," said Lyn Duncan, CEO of @UK PLC.
"More than 44 million items have been sold through this system to over 30 million visitors. Today there are 4.7 million items on sale to a 1 million strong community of buyers and suppliers, and over US$500 billion of spend analyzed," Duncan added.

that will be raised again, as we break through it Monday imo after the weekend press. This confirmation means VISA are serious, they have picked Atuk to use their system alone for billions and billions of pounds worth of transactions potentially being procurred through the system (a no lose for the client so easily sold by visa) and a small percentage of all could mean hundreds of millions revenue to atuk. 96% margin so huge profit, seems to good to be true and ceo Ronald Dincan has had to hold back on his projections for not wanting to sound a crazy man.. His 50m is conservative, watch the youtube clip - you get the feel that he means much higher. Shares are cheap on forward business likely. There are risks but these have been reduced today imo.
