Kursverdoppelung bei Actua Corporation (vorm. Internet Capital)

ist da noch Luft in der Bwertung - vorerst bis $20:

On the EBITDA side we saw similar strong growth over those four years growing from $9.3 million of EBITDA to little under $20 million last year in terms of the high end of our guidance range

“We exceeded our revenue guidance and we are at the high end of our EBITDA guidance range. In addition we repurchased almost a million shares or 930,000 shares of ICG stock for $8.3 million. In terms of looking at the performance from an operating performance over the last four years you can see the company's move from a revenue base of a little less than $93 million in 2009 to $191 million last year which was quite a bit ahead of our guidance of the $180 million to $190 million. On the EBITDA side we saw similar strong growth over those four years growing from $9.3 million of EBITDA to little under $20 million last year in terms of the high end of our guidance range.”

In all four companies we have characteristics that we think are important for long term success. We are leveraging large data streams, market intelligence to provide we think long term valuable and differentiated solution the focus as I mentioned earlier in large under penetrated markets, with less than 10% penetration we think in each and all four of these and have strong recurring revenue base and probably most importantly they are either as leaders or emerging as leaders in their respective markets. Looking back at 2012 I would summarize it by I think it was a very good year overall.

Spend Reduction and Compliance Fuel Procurement Outsourcing
June 26th, 2013

By Narayan Ammachchi

The procurement outsourcing market is poised to be among the fastest growing BPO segments, and it is certain that the sector will continue to post double digit growth , says a new report from market research firm Everest Group.

According to the report, the procurement outsourcing market grew at 10% in 2012, reaching $1.72 billion in annualized contract value representing US$220 billion in terms of managed spending.

Since 2007, the PO market has grown by 18% in terms of Total Contract Value (TCV), and service providers are embracing expertise and technology-driven strategies to maintain that double-digit pace, the report added.

Everest Group says that consumer goods and manufacturing continue to be the largest adopters of PO, adding that adoption in financial services and hi-tech & telecom increased significantly in 2012.

Procurement outsourcing is on the rise in almost every country and the buyers of this service are spread around the world. Nearly 30% of those signed PO contracts in 2012 had business operation in multiple countries.

OSHA and Health Canada Agree to Agree on GHS Alignment June 20, 2013 According to an OSHA News Release, in a ceremony at the Department of Labor on Wednesday, OSHA and the Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety (HECS) Branch of Health Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding that calls for both agencies to collaborate on their respective implementations of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). The agreement between OSHA’s Dr. David Michaels and the HECS’s Suzy McDonald is an affirmation of a commitment made December 7, 2012 by U.S. President, Barack Obama, and Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper to do the same. Close trading partners, the United States and Canada, have for a long time had hazard communications standards with significant differences. Yesterday’s agreement could go a long way in reducing regulatory burdens for chemical manufacturers, importers and distributors in both countries. In the U.S., OSHA has already aligned its Hazard Communication Standard with GHS. Health Canada is poised to do the same in coming months. For more on Canada’s adoption of GHS and what changes could be in store for companies with compliance obligations under the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), read our blog post GHS Adoption Means Big Changes to Canada’s WHMIS. MSDSonline also has a free webinar on Canada’s impending changes to WHMIS, available here  

The BOLT Platform reflects the rapid evolution of the insurance distribution ecosystem in which now both commercial and personal customers demand multi-channel availability of quotes, comparisons, customer service and transactional efficiencies.

The emergence of e-commerce shook up personal lines at the beginning of the 2000s, creating The Great Disintermediation Scare and other horrors for participants in traditional insurance distribution processes. We're now on the cusp of similar sea changes in commercial lines, and the success of SeaPass Solutions' BOLT platform provides one example of how e-commerce is reshaping commercial business.

Introduction

The global multi-process Procurement Outsourcing (PO) market witnessed healthy growth of 10% in 2012. Inorganic growth emerged as a major driver, contributing around 60% to the increase in market size. Furthermore, buyers are drawing higher value from second and third generation PO engagements by augmenting traditional models such as increasing the depth and breadth of service coverage by new modes of scope expansion, including expansion into downstream F&A processes, and expansion into adjacent supply chain activities.

In this study we analyze the global multi-process PO market in 2012. We focus on:
•Market size and buyer adoption
•Value proposition and client satisfaction assessment
•Solution characteristics across process scope, category scope, global sourcing, pricing structures, technology model, and performance metrics
•PO service provider landscape, covering service providers’ market share and areas of investments
 

Expand your distribution channels while providing complete coverage for all of your customers' risks

The Bolt Platform provides agents and consumers with a better way to choose and buy insurance through their preferred channel.  Channel flexibility is critical for today and into the future.

The consumer is the clear winner in this insurance paradigm. Given the technology platforms and buying behavior exhibited today and expected in the future the consumer is telling carriers "Sell me insurance the way I want to buy it." Direct-to-consumer models, agency models, wholesale models, and even alternate distribution models are now a significant part of the mix. Bottom line: The flexibility of your distribution model must fit the flexibility of your product set. Technology and process cannot get in the way of the insurance buying decision.

We have the answer in the Bolt Platform.




According to a recent McKinsey study, consumers now want to buy insurance their way, through whatever distribution channel works best for them – whether that be through Agents, with a direct model or some combination.  Your systems and products have to accommodate the way people shop for and buy insurance today. Carriers use the Bolt Platform to serve all of the insurance needs of their customers, while driving market share, retention, increasing revenue per customer and providing the best possible customer experience.



“The Bolt Platform supported the creation of a new distribution channel for Hiscox—agency distribution partnerships. In the first few months of Bolt’s production, over 400 Hiscox small business policies were issued via the platform. With additional Hiscox states, classes of business and products subsequently added, production expanded rapidly on a national basis. Hiscox has also seen an increase in quotes presented on Hiscox small business products. On average, quote volume increased by 5% in Q4 2012 as a result of this initiative and since the consumer does not have to re-enter data and the transactions are online, quotes are presented in real-time rather than days.”
— Celent Model Carrier Award



A significant part of the Bolt Platform is its built-in optionality. There’s no one size that fits all – you’re unique. We will work with you to provide you with the platform you need. Your needs and our service model can be configured to what you need today and in the future. The Bolt Platform has an inherently flexible business model built-in and carriers can choose one or all of the following Bolt Platform offerings based on your needs.
 

Help wanted: Leveraging outside expertise to drive packaging excellence

Barbara Moser, practice leader of global packaging, Procurian -- Packaging Digest, 6/1/2013 5:51:00 PM

Brand owners are feeling the squeeze from all sides these days. On one hand, they must drive market growth in new and existing channels by tailoring packaging to customer preferences. On the other hand they are facing pressures to do more with less, either containing or reducing costs.

Forward-thinking organizations are now taking a strategic approach to satisfying these dual objectives. Among the many options available is the leveraging of specialists who apply unique expertise and supply market insights to support leading-edge innovation while helping to optimize indirect spend that can be used to help grow the bottom line. Specialists can provide immediate access to intelligence, accelerating time to value, and eliminating the need to build and sustain the same level of expertise in-house.

Few but the largest global firms can internally assemble teams with leading-edge depth and market intelligence in every area, and, even then, they can miss the benefits of outside-in perspective. For mid-tier and smaller companies it is often economically infeasible to develop the required depth of expertise in every area.
