Just creeping up. With end of year soon, profit forecast, and a bit to talk about as per recent RNSs in any future press coverage, capital costs done, company seems well placed after a challenging year of integration.

Ciara McMillan MBA ‏‪@Ciara_Castleton‬ Great to meet the team ‪@SARHomes‬. ‪#edrm‬ ‪#agile‬ looking forward to working with you! See you next week ‪#projectmanagement‬ ‪We wondered what was going on there. It appears Stafford and Rural have bought document management as well as the agile mobile solution. Another contract in the bag..

an RNS here re. an investee company top-up. Perhaps in the morning.

Oh, alright then - we'll all try to sleep.

Should have said year end. And thinking of director buys, and that they'll know how we've done over the 10 months.

Must try harder. Like one or two others. Anyway, on we go. Getting towards a closed period now.

Anybody doubting should read back through the factual RNS's. We just been sold down to here, by somebody wanting out, unconnected with company performance. Hopefully they've gone. Anyway, those best placed to know put their money on recovery from this price

No doubt it's positive - why think otherwise. Kestrel been picking up the sells for yonks to 25%, and now the new company CEO who's obviously well informed and Mxcp who are likewise have weighed in at this point. None of it done in isolation. As an aside, it's not peanuts either, which is sometimes the case.

Holding(s) in Company Thu, 19th Jan 2017 16:21 RNS Number : 6580U Castleton Technology PLC 19 January 2017 Castleton Technology plc ("Castleton", the "Group" or the "Company") Holdings in Company which appears to indicate that Holyhead and her, as domestic partners, have actually been increasing their ' joint ' holding. Castleton (AIM: CTP), the software and managed services provider to the public and not-for-profit sectors, has received notification that as at 19 January 2017, Davinder Sanghera and persons closely associated with her were beneficially interested in a total of 3,410,448 ordinary shares of 2 pence in the capital of the Company representing approximately 4.3% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Does that mean the spellings over. Pretty much I guess. They know the score. So Kestrel not daft then.

Director/PDMR Shareholding Thu, 19th Jan 2017 16:20 RNS Number : 6579U Castleton Technology PLC 19 January 2017 Castleton Technology plc ("Castleton", the "Group" or the "Company") Directors' Dealings Castleton (AIM: CTP), the software and managed services provider to the public and not-for-profit sectors, announces that on 19 January 2017 Dean Dickinson, CEO, purchased 185,000 ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 53 pence per Ordinary Share. On the same date, MXC Capital Limited, of which Ian Smith, Executive Deputy Chairman, is a substantial shareholder, purchased 700,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 53 pence per Ordinary Share. Dean Dickinson now holds 185,000 Ordinary Shares and MXC Capital Limited now holds 18,794,336 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.25% and 23.88% of the Company's issued share capital respectively.

Associations, not institutions.

Let's hope so Waiting for this selling to stop. Kestrel still picking up I expect. Company progress really looking good, especially with Kypera, and any of the larger institutions either now or by way of amalgamation are said to be looking at big ERP as a way to go - Kypera is the only HMS custom made ERP, relatively inexpensive, so will be competing. Been successful twice recently. Share price going opposite way to company performance. Kestrel have known that throughout. Provided company continues to perform, when selling done, Kestrel can push price up. I should think that's their plan. Chris mentioned it before. See on Mxcp thread there's a bit about our deal to pay 365Agile for the mobile. Done and dusted and works for Ctp. All a matter for the Mxcp management it seems again, like the RCN thing, specifically Weaver.

She had options going back as far as July 2015 and they've not vested.

Interesting little insight there too, ' up to a £grand a day ' for housing technology. Of course that'll be very much the top end - but take half of that and it's at least an indication of the cumulative revenue potential amongst the 600 customers we have and those yet to come.

Cluid took the complete suite, the first customer to do so following the integration work. Hopefully that will open the way for those with one or two Castleton products, to add others. After a year of company ( and product ) integration, its started to come together.

We know they're on a winner here following the integration work on their suite, on a mobile platform,because of the recent Cluid win in particular. Full steam ahead this year, with costs behind us. Brian O'Gorman CEO & Ronnie Maher, IT Director at Clúid Housing said "Over the past two years, Clúid has developed a strong working relationship with Castleton, which has resulted in a number of projects being successfully delivered across the business. This success has prompted us to move to the next stage of growth. Clúid has been seeking an innovative supplier to work in partnership to deliver its corporate strategy and ambitious business plan. The partnership heralds a cultural change in our way of working. It provides access to the best products and gives the business a significant competitive advantage. It enables the full integration of all operations across the entire business, delivering untold efficiency. The success of this project is underpinned by the flexibility, understanding and willingness of Castleton and Clúid Housing to work together to identify the best solutions and deliver value for money for Clúid, our stakeholders and most importantly our customers."

in housing. Just read the Tony Smith blog, the most well informed in housing sector circles. Looks like we're taking business all round. It's the full integrated suite of best in breed that's doing it.Having a crack now at Ireland, and Australia. And importantly as a bonus, moving into the wider commercial world. JANUARY 2017 Movin' If you do the Twitter thing, follow me at @HousingITguy or LinkedIn here https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonysmiththathousingitguy We are in the January transfer window I guess. As well as Chelsea's Oscar, going for a Chinese takeaway and Man City welcoming Jesus (hoping for some sort of resurrection in form, late season), SocialHousing ICT suppliers have been at it too. Have you noticed? Yesterday (16th Jan 2017) it was quietly announced by Castleton PLC, suppliers of Documotive, Kypera, Impact and managed services via the old Montal, there was to be the departure of Davinder Sanghera. Dav is well known as ex-Bromford, years at IBS and Documotive, and looks to be stepping back after the appointment of Dean Dickinson as CEO in October last year. Most clients I work with, have at least one Castleton application or service in use, whether that’s Brixx, Documotive, or Kypera. Many with several applications, are clearly looking to see enhanced integration and unifying of a lot of the product set. It will be interesting to see how this has evolved at the forthcoming Housing Technology Conference & Exhibition, early in March. I am booked in and it would be great to hear experiences over a coffee or fizzy water. Elsewhere, two players from Northgate and Capita effectively swapped no 9 shirts, in the guise of Anthony Singleton and Roger Birkinshaw. It will be interesting how that influence changes in sales approach, customer service and delivery, at those organisations. Trouble-at-t-mill too up north, as another couple of HMS players seem to be losing staff like pound coins down a sofa, and a Software Development Manager, respectively. Maybe 2017 will be a year when some of these changes will be seen to improve service to customers and the users of these large systems. It would be no bad thing if suppliers led with forward thinking, rich, stable products, implemented by knowledgeable skilled implementers, keeping to the original promises & prices declared by honest sales staff. Maybe we would feel slightly better at paying up to a £grand a day for it then. View that Castleton PLC LSE notification here. As ever, if I can help with digital transformation, EDRMS, Housing, Finance, Mobile, Channel Shift, Scheduling, Contractor or problems with your systems, please be in touch!
