...but Pearls, signing a partnership agreement doesn't automatically bring in new deals.

The renewals and minor expansion were all based on pretty old deals.

As far as I know all former IBM deals (renewals, expansions) were handled by IBM and served on a silver plate to Cirata.

Not much Cirata sales involvement there, that should give us a little bit of hope.

Please, can we stop pretending?

There won't be any Agentic AI RNS.

It's more likely that I will become Pope this week.

I like optimism, but this is delusional.

Starting with 'According to SK..' is a dead giveaway, that nothing of substance will follow. I know this sounds rude, but that's the lesson I've learned from the last 3 years.

Cirata is as much a player in the Agentic AI market, as John Deere is a sports car manufacturer.

Happy Sunday erveryone!

I knew the Sage story, and I have to admit I don't believe that the 21$ pipeline is real.

I just wonder how long that hoax will go on.

I do like optimism, but I 100% agree with Diamondgeezer.

Cirara moves legacy data (unstructured, mainly Hadoop), that's it.

Cirata is as much of an Agentic AI company as it is a competitor to SpaceX.

Pathetic.

I don't think we'll see much revenue from IBM in Q2, this is not how partnerships like that work.

I think I don't need to remind you of TD Synnex, Microsoft, Databricks?

This time there is no upfront payment chew up on, Pearls said that means everything translate right into revenue.

On the other hand, it tells me that Symphony isn't the hot shxt they're telling us.

If it was, it would have been easy to justify a downpayment as in 'we'll reserve you PS resources and so on'.

Another old reference.

Legacy Hadoop... a clue Sherlock.

Unfortunately there are big expansions, just renewals.

Pearls, those are really old references.

The automotive deal (Moving data to Azure) actually happened before the desaster and somehow Phase II never happened.

My hunch is that SK never really understood that niche market and that seems to be the case for the whole sales team.

Looking back, three years of unfullfilled promises.

Simpmy put, it's a desaster.

No, I was never employed or worked for Wandisco or Cirata in any capacity.

I know a few people, who worked there, but most of them are gone now.

We crossed paths in the past, but as I said, no net new customer in more than 3 years, there is not really a USP or a demand.

Good man, hope you're doing well!

That's Tesco.

Cirata relies on old references and success stories.

Pathetic.

Wow, that is quite something, but honestly it perfectly sums up the last three years.

Can't argue with reality.

As much as I like to share the optimism, I don't trust anything coming from Cirata anymore. Too much deception, too many cover-ups in the past.

Knowing a little bit about the market, I don't think that they will gain momentum that quickly, if at all.

Hoping for the best though.

We had the same flickering of optimism when Wanrata announced theier partnerhsip with Azure, Databricks, TD Synnex...

Did this translate into revenue?

No.

Obviously Cirata hasn't been able to sell Symphony yet (I haven't even heard of any POC/POV'S).

Getting IBM as a reseller is good thing, but it's no revenue guarantee, you have to think of it as a listening on a marketplace, nothing more.

The main problem persists: The technology isn't unique, there is no real USP and apparently coming 'finding' Sovereignty opportunities years later than everybody else, makes you question SK's understanding of the market.

It's pathetic, especially the lack of information, all these random posts on Linkedin and nothing of substance.

So many Linkedin posts by SK, so little substance.

Now they are trying to jump on the Sovereignty train, they should have listened to me (about a year ago) 😅🤣😂

I just don't know what to think anymore, it's just bizarre.
