As much as I doubt that they will hit their numbers for this year, I just can't believe that SK would stick to a prediction that's unachievable...

It would really help to get know if they gave as a bit of an update.

Guys, what's wrong with you?

Why do you have to insult people, just because you have a differenr opinion?

Trump is everywhere, sadly.

I guess it shows how effective the partner org is. Kudos to the partner manager.

Like I said before, partnerships don't lead to a revenue increase directly.

Cirata has partnership agreements with AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Avanade, Synnex... some of them are active for years, but we've never seen much revenue coming through those channels.

I don't want to rain on anybody's parade here, but I have never seen a partnership producing immediate results.

Where are the sales guys working on the deals thay accumulate to 12 Million Dollars?

Hi Spratt, we do have a completely different approach, I only invested in tech companies, either I topped up my stock options (not in this case) or when I was pretty sure that the technology would fly.

I don't doubt the sincerity of Chris Cochran or Kelly, but I don't understand the strategy behind it. Letting go almost all sales guys and keeping 3 CRO's (btw one is in England, there are not all in the US), doesn't make sense to me. All those partnership announcements might be great, if there hadn't been so many of those in past. It takes a lot of stamina to build a working parnter ecosystem and I don't see that happening with no Cirata presales guys on training them. Cirata's software is not an app on your iphone...

Is the plan to sell Cirata? I don't know, but at least the massive layoffs would make sense. Do I believe that they will get 12 Mio in this quarter 😬? No, I don't and if Kelly is the guy I think he is, he should adjust the number now. Another quarter with slipped deals would be shame. If you had ever worked in the industry, you would also realize, that there is something off.

I know what a CRO does, believe me, I was a CRO for almost 10 years in a way bigger organization than Cirata.

And yes I might sound like a broken record, the brain drain is hitting Cirata really hard, they lost a lot of good people.

I thought about reaching out to IR about my doubts, might do so, but honestly I think they won't give me the answers I want.

No hard feelings, just my personal opinion.

Hi Spratt, I thought some of you might be in the industry, that's why I wrote that.

But it would be more obvious to you if you had more industry knowledge, that there is something off.

Not questioning the experience of SK or Chris Cochran, but again we're all waiting for numbers...

Partner agreement might be the first step to revenue, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

What are expectating for this quarter?

And I'm not that much of an outsider as you might think.

Ask people from AWS or Azure, if they've seen them around...

Hi Spratt, I know a few people at Cirata and a lot of people within the industry. As

I meant 'Who'...

Where are the presales resources?

I wish you were right.

We had the same story with Azure and Databricks...

Signing a partnership agreement doesn't mean you have a license to print money...

All these 'deals' still need technical support or enablement on the partner side. How's handling this, there is no one there anymore.

I mean I think they will have some deals in the US, but I don't believe that they hit their numbers.

Not much. I lost a bit of money, when they were still called Wandisco.

I always believed in the technology and thought they had a chance, but I think it's more likely that somebody will buy the technology and Cirata will be history.

Too many promises, too little traction in the market.

I think the numbers proof me right.

Good night

They need guys who sell that stuff...

That's the problem.

Oh man 😬.

The question is why did the old CFO leave...

I agree, Kelly is very convincing when it comes to interviews, numbers and keeping promises (at least at Cirata) not so much...

Anyone suggesting that they aim for a Nasdaq listening is delusional. No offence.

Peace.

Light a scented candle and relax in front of your SK shrine.

See you at the end of the quarter 😊...

Good luck catching those slipped deals 😅.

This is so funny, a bit like a cult 😅

My predictions were accurate, not like SK's ...

I know 😊

Amen to that.

I doubt that that they will make more than two million in new business this quarter.

Let's see who's right.

Guys, why is everything here so personal?

There are believers and non-believers.

Right, nothing that SK says can make me happy, I'll be happy when he delivers...

There have been a lot of announcements, but little action.

???

Is there another RNS?

Renewals and petty cash and promises...

Guys, that's called reality....

Enjoy your weekend.
