Meanwhile, Procurian (the outsourcer formerly known as ICG Commerce) have been chosen by Zurich, the huge insurance firm, to deliver a,

“ global, comprehensive Source-to-Pay solution to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd and its subsidiaries (Zurich)… Together with its long-standing partner Genpact, Procurian, the leading comprehensive procurement solutions provider, will help Zurich reduce costs and continuously optimize spending in the areas of IT, professional services, marketing, HR, facilities and travel.  Zurichwill leverage Procurian’s Specialized Procurement InfrastructureTM enhanced by Genpact’s Smart Enterprise Processes (SEPSM) framework to transform Zurich’s procurement capabilities globally..”

The value of the contract isn’t disclosed, but given the size of Zurich, I would have thought the categories in question are likely to have a spend value of perhaps slightly over a Billion Euros a year? So this is a significant win for Procurian, even more so because although Zurich are global, they are fundamentally a European company with significant operations in Europe (Zurich, London etc.) and quoted on the Swiss Stock Exchange.

Procurian have had Europe in their sights for a while, but most activity so far has been European subsidiaries of US firms – this appears to mark a new phase in their growth. It also supports our hypothesis that procurement outsourcing is finally on a real growth path. But it won’t be organisations outsourcing everything – rather, as in this case, it could well be very significant sub-sets of the entire procurement activity.

Refine Minority Holdings  

• Sold Metastorm and StarCite in 2011, yielding ~$80M in cash

sehe ich kritisch, denn vom Prinzip sehe ich hier langfristig die größten Chancen - auch wenn er nicht so ganz in das Plattformkonzept passt. Auch Channelintelligence ist eigentlich technologisch sehr gut, aber kaufmännisch nicht immer optimal geführt. Whitefence sollte man bei einem einigermaßen guten Preis verkaufen.  

STRONG BUY, wenn das auch nur ansatzweise eintritt, was in der oben angeführten Präsentation ausgesagt wird:

Long-Term Financial Goals    


By YE 2015: attain revenue run-rate of $500M with 15% EBITDA margin generated by 3 to 5 platforms.  

Schatz werden:

Govdelivery - Get the word out    

Leading Digital Communication Platform for Government

• 500+ govt. agencies on SaaS platform
o 30 million+ citizens receive updates from govt. through GovDelivery
o 15-25 million email/SMS/RSS/Phone/Social Media messages per day
o Adding 20,000 new subscribers per day

• Acquired GovInteract in late 2011:
o Proven multi-channel emergency communication solution
o Complete Web solution for small governments
o Bringing dialing capabilities into GovDelivery DCM



Addressable Market and Market Share :  

Addressable Market: $250-350M

Market Share: <8%

That are revenues of about 25 million.



Excellent: Subsidiary Govloop = Leading Knowledge Network for Government

• 55,000+ people in and around government collaborate to solve problems

• Supported by sponsors and online/offline training events

• Use GovDelivery reach to drive membership, but run independently



Summary of Opportunity

"20 May 2012 | Adam Leach

The amount of global outsourced procurement deals and the value of them have both increased for the second year straight.

Procurement Outsourcing Annual Report 2012 – The PO Market: Steadily Marching Forward, published this week by Everest Group, said the cumulative value of contracts increased by 17 per cent to reach $11 billion (£7 billion). It attributed this to an increase in the average contract value and continued adoption by mid-size companies - those with revenues between $1-$5 billion (£600 million – £3.2 billion)."
