well predicted
Hard to forsee anything other than a car crash.
Are they that bad they are hanging on for any good news to deliver with tem but none is forthcoming?
What is the time frame in which these must be published? Last year the my had posted them by now.
Nothing to tell. No significant wins or uplift in revenues. Even the vaunted Outsourcery PR machine has run out of steam eventually. You can only release the same story so many times. The investors and the industry are bored of the lack of substance.
since October, very strange DYOR
Why so low, surely they have a team working on this. The OUT organisation must have good people in it. DYOR
Today's RNS shows HH selling 50,000 which were sold yesterday. I see another 200,000 were sold late today. No doubt HH again. It appears that they may well have lost patience and are bailing out. If this continues the SP will plummet.
The question is now they have taken investors money. Will they delist and reap the rewards. OUT of AIM maybe.
A full leader board of G-Cloud suppliers can be revealed by CRN as sales through the framework's parent organisation Digital Marketplace surpassed the £1bn mark. Number 1 was BE-IT with £58m Outsourcery........... 516.......... with revenue to date of £36k - Lol yep you read that right and to be precise £36,101.70. Looks to me like they have blown another pile of cash building secure G Cloud only for it to be a white elephant.
Around the end of March.
I think you are reading too much in to this, it's not like shes going to turn round and say, yeah i still fancy leaving but i'm only going to stay because i'm pregnant...
This doesn't sound to me like someone who is slowing down until 2017. "While the UK business continues to go from strength to strength, it is also fundamentally important to me that I contribute to the transformation of Insight, not only in the UK but across our EMEA geography. Following consultation with the senior leadership team at Insight, I am confident that there is a bigger role for me to play in the transformation of our EMEA business.""While the UK business continues to go from strength to strength, it is also fundamentally important to me that I contribute to the transformation of Insight, not only in the UK but across our EMEA geography.

Didn't take long: Insight's managing director Emma de Sousa has called off her move to Outsourcery and will stay at Insight instead. The UK boss put out a statement this morning confirming that she is set to stay at the reseller whose UK business she has run for seven years. In November, de Sousa announced her plans to leave Insight to become Manchester firm Outsourcery's managing director and was due to start on 1 April. In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, Outsourcery's chairman Ken Olisa said: "While we are naturally disappointed by Emma's decision, we fully understand it. We will not be enforcing the terms of her contract. On behalf of the board, I wish her a safe pregnancy and success in the pursuit of whatever career decision she now chooses to make." The company added that her pregnancy would prevent her from starting until 2017 at the earliest and "as such, and in order to keep pace with the company's plans, Outsourcery has re-initiated its search for a leadership role to drive sales and marketing activity, and will look to make an appointment as early as practicable". The firm has been "truly supportive and understanding", said de Sousa, adding that she worked closely with the team through her decision-making process. "A significant change in my personal circumstances has driven me to re-evaluate my personal and professional future," she said. "The outcome is that I no longer feel able to pursue the opportunity with Outsourcery and intend to continue, and enhance my journey with Insight." She added that she is excited to continue at the US-headquartered giant. "I am committed to Insight and the team we have built in the UK is one that I am extremely proud of," she said. "They have once again in 2015 demonstrated the ability to grow market share, increase client satisfaction and execute against our business strategy. I have always been, and remain passionate about the success of this team. "While the UK business continues to go from strength to strength, it is also fundamentally important to me that I contribute to the transformation of Insight, not only in the UK but across our EMEA geography. Following consultation with the senior leadership team at Insight, I am confident that there is a bigger role for me to play in the transformation of our EMEA business."
I wonder how long Insight will leave it before announcing she is staying on with them?
I suppose this has to be taken somewhat at face value having children can change a lot of decisions in life like if you want to up and move etc. It's frustrating for Outsourcery as I have always felt if they could find the right sales structure they had enough diversity away from the big boys to make a healthy profit. It is a company that always looks like it has made the right partnerships but can't get the traction for the effort put in.
I think she hadn't realised how bad it actually was. I did say in an earlier post I wondered how they would afford her as she wouldn't be cheap. Seeing today's announcement I am not sure I buy it and bet she appears back working before 2017...
I have to wonder if she really knows what she is getting into and what a state Outsourcery is actually in. I doubt it.
Ms de Sousa's appointment will take effect on 1st April 2016. Thats a long time to wait, will OUT still be trading then. Always Do Your Own Research
Finally :)
my current view is don't touch it
has become a non-traded stock. Why because there is no news on any progress DYOR
This will allow MS to go after the UK government business directly on their own platform. Not sure where this will leave OUT and others going forward. I know who I would rather trust with my data.
Sounds like a brilliant move to me. The dragon hasnt made it happen. DYOR
Definitely. She wont have been cheap.
