Real-time financial software provider Gresham Computing is selling its Storage Director business for an initial $1.4m in staggered payments. Fully listed-Gresham will receive $600,000 - $500,000 after expenses - of the initial payment this year with the rest payable in two instalments in 2010. Gresham could receive a further $1.8m based on a minority share of future sales over the next five years. As well as the cash inflow, the disposal will enable Gresham to reduce costs by £900,000 a year. Gresham is in the process of matching costs to its recurring revenues, according to its interim management statement. The board says that Gresham is on course to reduce annual costs by £2.6m during 2009.Price comparison web site Gocompare.com has chosen Autonomy's multivariable testing solution, Optimost, to rotate the content on its web site.
