Press Release
Copenhagen, Denmark, May 5th, 2011.
Metaconomy is launching it’s ‘Reporting in the Cloud’ service solution for FIM2010 customers who need to meet compliance reporting and attestation audit requirements, ahead of the KuppingerCole European Identity Conference 2011, in Munich on 12th May.
“We are thrilled to be able to announce the release of our Reporting in the Cloud solution on Azure for FIM2010 customers ahead of EIC 2011. It is a highly disruptive reporting solution for traditional identity management partners because we are commoditizing compliance reporting and attestation by supplying it as an on-demand subscription service”, announced Richard Blackham, CEO at Metaconomy. “We are finding huge levels of excitement with Microsoft and partners alike. We are discovering partners with a much broader profile than we would normally associate with the identity management niche are also keen to offer the service to their customers, and this just means more opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind that the Azure cloud is a strong catalyzing effect”.
The Metaconomy service can be connected to a FIM installation and produce reports the same day, reducing the need for long consulting engagements, providing follow-on possibilities for partners to return to their customers after directory clean-ups, and meeting identity and access compliance regulations in most geographies. Priced competitively on subscription, with a 30 day free trial, the service is set to be very popular with partners and customers alike.
“Businesses don’t want high consulting expense to extract Identity and Access Intelligence (IAI) these days. It’s data they already own and they want to use it as quickly as possible”, continued Richard Blackham. “We listened to what the analysts said last year about the need for cost reduction and using the cloud to deliver IAI as a service, and now we have it”.

Press Release
Copenhagen, Denmark, January 28, 2011
Metaconomy, an innovator bringing Business Intelligence as a Service to the Cloud, today announced on the immediate availability of their hosted Sales Pipeline Management solution on the Apple iPad, a version for Microsoft IE 8 is planned. Does that sound backwards?
“We are developing ‘Pipeline’ for multiple browser types as well as the mobile market, and decided to test our initial build on the iPad.” says CEO Richard Blackham. “Our solution is aimed at the mobile sales force to reduce their administration time and to give them more face time with their customers. It is critical for sales teams to have fast and easy access to sales intelligence. What surprised us the most was how flawlessly our Pipeline solution, with its Ruby on Rails interface, worked on the iPad. We did not have to make any adjustments to the original design or build”. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the IE8 version which has suffered from several GUI formatting and control function issues. The IE 8 issues are being addressed, but remain overshadowed by the immediate compatibility of the iPad.
Metaconomy’s Pipeline service is freely available until Spring 2011, at which time further modular add-ons will be available through tiered subscription plans. It offers a comprehensive set of features, including a reporting wizard, collaborative sharing capabilities, and automated alerts, for businesses to manage their sales opportunities. The service is now also available for the iPad and iPhone.
“The phenomenal growth in adoption of the iPad in the enterprise means we can easily equip large mobile sales teams with a service based solution. Senior management can get a real-time view of all customer opportunities, and be notified when deadlines and service agreements are not being met,” says Richard Blackham. “The easy-to-use iPad interface means that sales executives who rarely visit their offices or who prefer the back of a napkin approach to managing their deals can ensure reporting is delivered to their managers on time. Just imagine how many spreadsheet adverse sales teams and their senior managers will benefit from delivering their weekly reports automatically and on time.”

Press Release
Copenhagen, Denmark, December 28, 2010
Metaconomy, an innovator bringing Business Intelligence as a Service to the Cloud, announced today they have closed a seed funding round with New York based Science House Capital. The investment is focused on sales execution and market development via partners.
“We are thrilled that Science House Capital has invested in us at this time. It gives us a much stronger foundation to reach the market and develop our partner channel,” says CEO Richard Blackham. “James Jorasch and Peter Sorgenfrei have embraced our model very enthusiastically and Peter’s seat on our board will be a great help to us as we develop in the US market.”
“Science House Capital believes strongly in the business need for accurate and timely compliance reporting. The combination of Metaconomy’s Reporting in the Cloud and Microsoft server products represents a huge market opportunity, as yet largely undeveloped,” said Peter Sorgenfrei. “We are looking forward to helping Metaconomy move up in this market and develop into a world-class company.”
Metaconomy’s Sales Pipeline Management service released last week and is freely available until early 2011. It offers a comprehensive set of features, with reporting and automated alerts, for businesses to manage their sales opportunities. An aggressive schedule for January 2011 will see ‘Reporting in the Cloud’ for Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) go on general release.
“Built on Azure and priced for the mid-market segment, ‘Reporting in the Cloud’ for FIM and SCCM is an extremely strong proposition for the mid-market segment,” adds Richard Blackham. “We are well on the way to delivering consolidated compliance reporting and attestation across Microsoft servers, as a commodity, making it easily available to every business.”

Venture Capitalists often struggle to get a true picture of how their investments are really performing.
“Traction is often hard to measure, even for investors with a seat on the board”, said Richard Blackham, CEO at Metaconomy. “We found ourselves constantly having to report on new business opportunities and milestones but now we just open an account on the system for our investors and they have a clear view of what’s in our Pipeline and what stage each opportunity has reached”.
Metaconomy is now offering VCs accounts in the system to help them to monitor their portfolio companies in the hope that they will see sufficient value in it to recommend its use to their investments for managing their own new business opportunities. It gives a transparent 360 degree view of all transactions and negotiations between the company and its customers.
Jørgen Gransøe, Managing Partner at Norventum Capital, says “Norventum Capital strongly values the benefits of Pipeline for tracking the progress of our portfolio investments. A direct view into the business opportunities that Pipeline offers gives a good picture of how our investments are maturing. We use it and recommend it for its ease of deployment and use.”
Metaconomy is focused on delivering cloud based reporting solutions for Microsoft Forefront Identity manager 2010 and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, as well as Pipeline, their Sales Opportunity Management solution.
