I have been following Netcall for some time now, having invested at 9p and 10p. I have seen the product queue buster in action, and I have also talked to people who use it. It is a major winner. The hit rate once a demo is set up is 100%. They will announce more big wins in the not to distant future, I think this is a big medium term winner. The company will move into profit this year, I think that there is a reasonable liklehood that one of the major players will buy them out to enable them to use this technology to leverage further telco/call centre related sales. It wouyld appear that others believe the upside with the steady progress of the shareprice in recent history, up to 13.75p today.dyor, imho etc

NETCALL WINS CONTRACT FOR OVER #1.5 MILLION WITH BT
Netcall, the supplier of call centre technology products, has agreed a contract
worth over #1.5 million to supply its innovative flagship product, QueueBuster
TM, to BT Group plc. Netcall had revenues of #861,000 for the year to 30 June
2002.
After the successful implementation of an initial order announced in November
2002, BT has placed a further order for a number of additional QueueBusterTM
systems for immediate installation. The contract is for over #1.5 million
comprising a substantial initial payment with additional service charges
accruing over the next three years.
QueueBusterTM enables callers to avoid the frustration of call centre queues by
requesting a call back whilst their place is held in the queue, as if they had
stayed on the line. This allows call centres to manage their time better,
reduce costs and enhance customer service. The technology effectively reduces
the duration of calls, improves customer satisfaction and enhances the overall
quality of call management.
All Netcall's multi-site customers, who have bought QueueBusterTM for one call
centre, have placed additional orders for their other sites. For example, the
Cooperative Bank recently placed a third order. Furthermore, trials are running
or are programmed to start with three additional prospective multi-site
customers. Two of these trials are outside the UK.
Brian Gowers, Chairman, said today:
"This contract represents a major endorsement for Netcall's products and
services. QueueBusterTM is proving to be a valuable tool for managing call
centre costs, whilst delivering outstanding customer satisfaction. Netcall
technology has international relevance and our growing "blue chip" client base,
including BT, The Cooperative Bank, One Tel, Royal and Sun Alliance, Thames
Water, United Utilities and Vertex gives us increasing momentum."

Looks like Mike Walters has tipped this today
"The Right Numbers
4/12/2003
Netcall is a small company with an enormously useful product which takes some of the frustration out of using call centres. The shares have been a winner for us so far, and look worth picking up again"

I see Netcall has appointed a new chief exec for January 2004 - I wonder if he impresses enough to see Netcall break the 30p barrier this week? Now that would be a nice pre christmas present - I'll drop Santa a line and see if he can influence things as well :)

This report would make you think that now is a good time to buy in ...wait until the new CE gets the company on the verge of 39.75p and pocket a 50% profit before he does !! LOL if only it was that easy - I got excited at 30p a few days back - 39.75p and I would have to have my blood pressure tablets increased.
Seriously though is this a realistic incentive for the CE ? Anybody any thoughts?

This one seems to have fallen from the radar recently, but gets a big write up in this week's Shares Mag.
Having read through the previous posts, it has probably been one to avoid up until sept '06, but has since doubled in value.
Historic P/E of 28, but prospective P/E of 14 for '08, with a maiden divi in the pipeline.
One other plus point is that NET does not expect to pay any tax for a while as it has built up & carried forward a tax loss. Company is making a profit & sitting on 1.8 million cash.
One for the watch list???

Trading Update
Netcall plc (AIM: NET), a leading customer engagement software provider, is pleased to give an update on trading for the six month period ended 31 December 2012.
The Company has continued to trade comfortably in line with management expectations throughout the first half of the year. Order inflows in the period remained strong and double digit sales growth was maintained. Both new customer wins and sales to existing customers have contributed to this growth.
The acquisition of Serengeti is adding to Group earnings and the integration of its business and ECM product suite is progressing to plan.
The Group is in a strong cash position, maintaining its debt free balance sheet. At 31 December 2012 the net cash balance had increased to £8.2m (31 October 2012: £7.7m) after a share buyback of £0.25m in December.
Henrik Bang, CEO of Netcall commented:
"The Group performed well in the first half of the year, delivering strong operating cash flows and sales growth, whilst at the same time integrating Serengeti. Along with new customer wins such as North Wales Housing, we are pleased with the level of cross-sales achieved in the period such as the sale of an Eden solution to The Warranty Group, an existing workforce management customer. The addition of Serengeti provides further opportunity for cross- and up-sales and the Board remains confident in achieving a successful outcome for the year."
