Visual Insight System: subscription renewals, service agreements with new clients and ongoing embedding with existing clients

Big Sofa Technologies (AIM:BST), a video analytics provider to the global insight and analytics industries, announces a number of subscription renewals and services agreements with new clients for its proprietary, video-based knowledge management, sharing and collaboration system.

Highlights: Visual Insight System

· Renewal of annual subscription agreements with Target Corporation and 84.51˚ totalling approximately $200,000

· Ongoing technology projects with The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") totalling more than £100,000 in the current financial year

· New service agreements with blue-chip companies including a global social media company, a global clothing brand, and a global manufacturer of batteries and power systems

Big Sofa Technologies has secured renewals of annual subscription agreements with Target Corporation and 84.51˚, the consumer insights subsidiary of Kroger, totalling approximately $200,000. P&G has also commissioned in excess of £100,000 in the first quarter. This marks further progress in strategically embedding Big Sofa Technologies in the work processes of our clients, thanks to our pioneering video analytics and platform technology.

In addition, the Company has recently secured service agreements with 3 new clients. The first is with a global social media company and marks a first step towards executing one of the Company's strategic objectives: extending reach beyond retail and consumer packaged goods to the fast-growing technology and digital sectors.

The second service agreement is with a global clothing manufacturer and retailer, and the third with a global manufacturer of batteries and smart power systems. These are the result of a focus on new clients with the potential to adopt the Company's technology at scale.

Kirsty Fuller, Chief Executive Officer of Big Sofa Technologies, commented:

"In the Final Results Announcement earlier this month, I outlined the three pillars to Big Sofa Technologies' strategic roadmap: Strategic integration with key Ipsos service lines and technologies, Visual Insight System delivery to end clients and automated data extraction for large data companies. 

Visual Insight System is our dynamic, interactive platform for knowledge sharing, data re-mining and cross-discipline collaboration and connection. It is our core direct-to-client product offering. The progress we have made in the year to date - retaining existing clients on long-term revenue agreements, being added to the supplier roster of new global clients, extending the company's client base to include global technology companies - marks progress against the strategic goals that we set earlier in the year."
