All straightforward there then. Accounts passing scrutiny.

Good to be included by London Stock Exchange and to rate a mention by CRN. https://www.channelweb.co.uk/crn-uk/news/3032805/the-channel-firms-featured-in-lses-1000-companies-to-inspire-britain-report

Coop tenants I mean.

Following the September RNS, good to hear that, presumably following usual requirements of migration and testing, and all that, the multi solution implementation hosted by Managed Services, has now gone live to customers.

They have, however, chosen to do this one with their own seminar. "We are looking forward to #Housing18 event, where we will be exhibiting and hosting our own seminar session, look out for more details coming soon! Book now if you haven't already it is one of the best events in the #UKHousing sector! #tech #transformingservicedelivery " Looks like we've been taken to a level at which perhaps the larger deals can be done at this time.

In that context I see that Castleton, so far anyway, are not exhibiting as usual this year at the CIH Conference ( Europe's largest housing conference ) in June. All the rest are there, Aareon, Capita, Orchard, Northgate, Civica - Castleton preferring instead to concentrate on, and in a more personal way with, current customers.

Having done ROI, Castleton holding a series of 5 one day events throughout UK during July. Aiding cross selling by promoting new/updated solutions to in the main existing customers, though the Irish Breakfast event was open to potential new customers.

Although Castleton's prime driver is cross selling into existing customers, there are signs of institutional investors seeing opportunities within the market, and creating for profit associations - in turn bringing new opportunity for the likes of Castleton. https://www.socialhousing.co.uk/news/news/legal--general-in-plan-to-become-a-leading-affordable-housing-provider-55997

It's off on one side, but Glantus making some moves of late. https://americas.enterprise-ireland.com/glantus-movius-partnership-market-expansion/

They've just advertised another Product Manager job. Pleased to see this as a key responsibility. * Review the competition, ensure that Castleton are on par or ahead at all times. And they are doing a lot of in house development work.

Also recruiting 3 new developers for the new solutions, in addition to the one they been looking for to work on EDRM.

Coming out of this morning CircleVie H/A will be piloting Augmented Reality, and confirmation they're piloting AI ( Alexa thingy )

Glantus "The applications of data analytics are endless, and not confined to any one industry! As demonstrated at this morning's Castleton Tech customer conference, the Avido platform enhances the decision making process, delivering key insights"

Glantus and Castleton obviously keen on their BI partnership. Joe Keating of Glantus presenting analytics and stuff at Castleton Breakfast briefing today.

Yes. I imagine so. They're also expanding - recently bought a New York analytics company. https://www.siliconrepublic.com/start-ups/glantus-hedgehog-analytics-acquisition Castleton has never RNSd that Glantus strategic partnership - I think they should have done with the revenue said to be involved, though how much we get to keep I don't know. Should rate a mention in June though.

The contract transparency notice issued 29th. March gives this as a new 5 year contract, adding to the existing integrated housing, finance, mobile, and repairs solutions already contracted with Castleton. So they're pretty happy with the products and service, adding another four products, and these longer contracts give much greater forward visibility of the ongoing repeat and cumulative revenue.

Just out Castleton Technology "Great to be working with @NewGorbalsHA on a new integrated CRM, EDRM, Customer Portal and BI Solution."

Now at a stage when BGF may choose to convert, but they can do that at their choice until Febuary. It would dilute, but dispose of that debt. Just a comment. Got here rather more quickly than recently anticipated-and also at a stage now when all pi's will be at least break even, and have the opportunity to stay or go. Finncap may wish to consider their target, or simply let it ride until results or earlier news.

Just announced. "Excited to announce we have a new Augmented Reality add-on to Agile, our mobile service delivery tool. Get in touch for a demo." AR said to be on the up this year on. Should create some interest.
