Corporate Vision

Ian Baird. 10th October, 2013.

Thank you …!

• Year 1 goal – retain existing customers and stabilise

technology

• FY2012-13 revenue higher than expected, thanks to

customer funded project work and enhancements

• Investment by IPS customers has allowed us to

demonstrate to the Patech board:

• These products have a future and are investible

• The compliance software sector is a market Patech

should be involved in more extensively

• That IPS is profitable enough to exist as a separate

entity within Patech

Relevance to IPS

• Defined a 5-year business plan from 1st November 2013 to

1st November 2018

• Approved by Managing Director

• Patech committed to the IPS products

• Investing in product development and modernising the suite

• New “microsite” to underline our identity

MISSION TO BECOME THE MARKET LEADER AND

PRODUCTS OF CHOICE IN THE WATER INDUSTRY

Targets

• One new Gemini customer

within 12 months

• Have one active Gemini

prospect at the moment

• One new Connect customer

every 12 months

• Sizeable market for ICMS

• To win compliance based

business in other sectors by

2016

Ethical Business

• We’d like the opportunity to work more closely with our

customers

• We always want our business to be seen as fair and ethical

• Our people should be approachable and friendly at all times

• We’re already delivering regular service reviews but would

like to extend further offerings to customers

• Will be delivering expert ‘health checks’. 1-day of Angela or

Tony per annum, per product

• Buy a block of discounted consulting days. Can be

exchanged for any consultancy either IPS or non-IPS

Customer Opinion Counts

“I've worked with a number of external suppliers over the years

and the service I have received from you guys is far superior to

anything I have experienced before.”

Kenny McDade

Test Lead

A New Identity

• A new division of Patech

focussed on compliance software

• Launched internal competition to

find a brand name

Introducing …………….???

Introducing …………….???

Ian : “I like it because it conveys the

roots of the business, where it came from.”

Ang : “Well how about ….”

Introducing …

Regulatory compliance software, custom designed and delivered by

a team with strong customer values and a proven methodology.

Along the way …

Spelling it out …

“Dad, you should put some sauce on that!”

Reporting Options

1. Use QlikView as a complementary technology to

any existing BI strategy

2. Use current reporting views which remain supported

3. patech-SOURCE can license code in QlikView

model or assist build of a reporting solution in

preferred BI strategy

NO ONE PERFECT FIT FOR ALL ORGANISATIONS!

Upgrade Considerations

• Continued 10g support on best

endeavours

• All new functionality from 11g upwards

• Customers are experiencing issues

with 10g

Reported Oracle 10g Issues

• Java 1.6

• Standard desktops being rolled out with 1.7

• Citrix incompatibilities/performance issues

• Newer web browser versions are not certified

• Newer operating systems are not certified

• Virtualised server farms may not include older versions of

operating systems, thus IPS confined to old physical kit.

• If your hardware failed, could you find hardware and rebuild

the server?

• Newer Microsoft Office products are not certified

Next Steps

• With your help, refine the roadmap

• Share your ideas this afternoon in breakout sessions

• Share your ideas at any time after today’s user group

Next Generation IPS Products

Ian Baird. 10th October, 2013.

Key Drivers

• Listening to users and prospects – UI looks tired

• Listening to IT depts – reliance on Java on client

machine can be problematic and certification matrix

complex

• Mobile device support

• Cloud computing – run on Patech Cloud or in-house

• Attract new customers (from feedback)

• Enable new technologies – Google Maps, closer GIS

integration

Approach

• Connect2 will be redeveloped and the new product will

be named Connect3

• Anticipated release date 1st September 2014.

• Gemini2 will be redeveloped and become Gemini3.

• ICMS2 will be redeveloped and become ICMS3.

• Gemini3 / ICMS3 work commences once Connect3 has

been successfully redeveloped.

Technology

• Zend Server / PHP Framework

• Zend runs on Linux and Windows

• Adopters include BBC, EDF,

Cisco (WEBEX), Volkswagen

• Oracle Database 11g / 12c

• HTML5, CSS, some Javascript

• Zero footprint – no Java!

• Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari

• iPhone, iPad, Android, Surface mobile devices

Design Considerations

• Seamless upgrade path regardless of whether

customer is on Connect2 at 10g or 11g.

• Ability to deploy a new environment in under a day on

Patech Cloud.

• Zero footprint client – easier for Citrix customers.

• More self-service features for users.

• Create a new user easily without IT department intervention.

• Reset your password without contacting helpdesk.

• Enhanced standard letters.

• No additional software license costs!

Wanted…Beta Testers!

• A chance to input into the new look and feel from the

start of the redevelopment

• Expected first glimpse at one module of Connect2 by

February 2014

• User feedback

• Appropriate changes made before development of

remainder of system continues

If you just can’t wait …
