VELOCITYEHS BOLSTERS ITS ENVIRONMENTAL OFFERING BY PURCHASING E3 SOLUTIONS

On Thursday 29 September, VelocityEHS announced its acquisition of environmental management solutions provider, e3 Solutions. The move follows VelocityEHS’s purchase of ergonomics solutions provider, ErgoAdvocate, in February 2016. Founded in 2005, e3 solutions is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. According to its website, e3 Solutions has 10 to 20 customers, in the oil and gas, transport and logistics, and pharmaceuticals industries, including Flint Hills Resources, FedEx and Veolia Water. e3 Solution’s product and technical team will join VelocityEHS’s Canadian headquarters in Toronto. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Buying e3 Solutions is a smart move by VelocityEHS. According to 81% of the 301 respondents to Verdantix 2016 EH&S Global Leaders survey, having a platform that covers all EH&S workflows is either a very important or important factor shaping software investment decisions. The acquisition bolsters VelocityEHS’s existing chemicals, incident, ergonomics and safety management capabilities with robust environmental functionality. The deal is just the latest in a flood of deals over the last 18 months, as vendors race to build critical mass in the EH&S, risk management, quality management, and product stewardship software markets.

With the first half of 2016 under our belt, Q2 results were right in line with our plan. Our overall organic revenue growth was 9%; a low point for the year, and we will see growth accelerate from here across all core businesses. We were ahead of expectations on the bottom line and reported operating cash flow of $2.6 million; more than double from the prior-year period. Year-to-date bookings are ahead of our expectations and we expect to see this momentum continue, leading to significantly stronger growth in the action half of the year.

Turning to our businesses starting with slide six. While revenue growth was flat, BOLT's bookings are pacing much higher. For the quarter, we added 400,000 of ARR from an existing customer and 300,000 in one time bookings. This brings year-to-date ARR bookings to over $3 million, which we should start recognizing as revenue in Q4. I should point out this is dramatically ahead of where we were a year ago, which was in the low six-figure bookings for the first half.
The sales pipeline continues to build nicely. We entered the quarter with 14 opportunities and added one. This, combined with the progress the Company has made in sales and marketing, positions the Company well for a strong second half. The investments we've made in the network have allowed us to get new customers up and running quickly. One of the top five carriers who recently signed with BOLT late last year has rapidly grown premiums to $1 million run rate by the end of June. This growth should continue as this customer continues to aggressively expand this utilization of the platform. Another top 10 carrier customer continues to increase its seat licenses with BOLT, having jumped from 25 at the start of the relationship to 350 today with more on the way.

We finished the quarter with 59,700 users on the platform, up from 50,000 at the beginning of the year. Additionally, the opportunities of qualified risk going through the platform grew to 3 million in the quarter, up from 2.5 million in Q1. This resulted in $1.5 billion of premiums on the platform, up from $1.4 billion at the end of the first quarter.

Finally, carrier connections are up over 5,300 from roughly 5,100 in Q1, but now 99 insurance carriers integrated into the platform. As a result of the platform basically being built out and strong bookings growth we've seen year-to-date, the Company's making excellent progress toward being operating cash flow positive much sooner than we previously forecasted.

Deepwater Horizon: An Ongoing Lesson in Safety
The following blog post was originally published by Actua company, VelocityEHS.
This weekend, the feature film “Deepwater Horizon” hits movie theaters across the country. It tells the true story of the ill-fated semi-submersible offshore oil drilling rig that exploded after the well it was drilling erupted, killing 11 workers and injuring dozens more. Following the explosion, more than 200 million US gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico over the course of 87 days until the well was finally capped. Nearly seven years since, the disaster is still considered by many to be the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

aus #8057 bedeutet, dass allein die sich jährlich wiederholenden Umsätze in einem halben Jahr um 3 Millionen gesteigert wurden, was aufs Jahr gerechnet auf eine Umsatzzunahme von 6 Milllionen pro Jahr bei Bolt allein durch die annual recurring revenues hinausläuft,
   

geposteten Umsatzschätzung für Bolt wäre das immerhin eine Wachstumsrate von 30%.

Libuda: Bolt-Umsatzschätzung = 20,5 Millionen

Relativ schwierig ist es, den Umsatz von Bolt zu schätzen, da es hierzu keine mir bekannten Veröffentlichung gibt, sodass man meines Erachtens nur die Möglichkeiten hat, den Guidance für alle vier Core-Compqanies von 156- 160 Millionen anzusetzen und davon die von mir geschätzten Umsätze der anderen drei Core-compnies abzuziehen.

Govdelivery: 43.5 million revenues 2016,
Yelocity EHS: 55 million revenues 2016
Foliodynamix: 39 million revenues 2016

Wenn wir bei der Gesamtsumme den Mittelwert von 158 nehmen ergibt sich: 158 Millionen minus 43,5 Millionen minus 55 Millionen minus 39 Millionen = 20,5 Millionen Umsatz von Bolt in 2016  

von Govdelivery von zur Zeit 312 Millionen auf fast 450 Millionen steigen und damit in die Nähe der momentanen Marktkapitalisierung kommen. Govdelivery steht nur mit dem sehr viel niedrigeren Einkaufspreis in den Büchern.

Consumers have grown accustomed to an easy-to-navigate, information-rich shopping experience and multiple channels to research, read reviews, compare options and consider solutions before purchasing. They expect the same from their insurer.
Over $500 billion in premiums will go to insurance companies that have an omni-channel distribution solution. These days, consumers want instant access to information, quotes and purchasing. The BOLT Platform™ offers you everything required to quickly implement a comprehensive omni-channel distribution solution. You could say its customer-pleasing power right out of the box.

And in case you needed another reason; here are some more advantages to implementing The BOLT Platform.

“We believe strongly that we are more than a single sale solution—we want our clients to understand they are buying into a long-term relationship and a process of collaborative, mutual improvement,” says Steve Dunlap, president of the firm. “We created that unconventional title to be clear about the primary mission of the job. FolioDynamix will continue to raise the bar to provide the highest level of ongoing client support in the industry.”

FolioDynamix is working to develop solutions to enable clients to stay ahead of the upcoming DOL Fiduciary Rule and has been in the news lately in reference to its focus on the concept of “Fiborg”—the idea that the best advisors will succeed by enhancing their own practice with technology that will help to deliver their service, and even their personality, in digital, scalable, and collaborative form. Dunlap, at the recent FolioDynamix Client Conference, introduced the “Fiborg Constellation,” an integrated technological ecosystem of proprietary, enterprise-class technology and best-of-breed technology partners that advisors can leverage to help with both the challenges of meeting DOL requirements and to drive business growth.

Carrier B was able to do it all.
September 28, 2016
insurance carriers really stand to lose in the current customer revolution, it’s in the case of digital distribution. Seeking simplicity, nearly 80% of P&C insurance consumers want to consolidate coverage with one trusted insurer[i] while purchasing their coverage online.[ii] To better understand the impact this has on the P&C insurance industry, let’s follow two separate carriers through a typical day.

Könnte durchaus sein, dass Actua ein Schneeballsystem ist. Man kauft immer weiter defizitäre Unternehmen auf und behauptet diese weiterzuentwickeln, indem man inhaltsleere Pushmitteilungen raushaut. Warum veröffentlicht Actua den nicht die Zahlen der einzelnen Töchter? Warum haben auch die Töchter neben Actua frivole Aktienoptionprogramme die den Wert der Aktien weiter zerstören?

Fragen über Fragen. Am besten man fragt mal Madoff über Actua aus...

With the right assessment, training, management support, and processes in place, you can proactively identify and eliminate ergonomic issues before they result in debilitating injuries.
         •§By Gene Kay
         •§Oct 01, 2016

Ergonomics has emerged as a major environmental, health and safety (EHS) concern. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent data, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)—including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other sprains and strains—account for one-third of days-away-from-work cases. The same data also reveal that workers suffering from ergonomics-related injuries often require more time off the job than those with other types of workplace injuries and illnesses.

In addition to absenteeism, work-related MSDs come with a steep financial cost. OSHA statistics indicate that MSD-related workers' compensation expenses cost businesses between $15 billion and $20 billion each year.
