The Investmnet Column: Hard drive
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I ntelligent Environments, the Aim-listed software group, is raising pounds 7.5m in a placing at 80p to fund a marketing drive.
IE is exploiting the rise in its shares from 36.5p to 105p after January's trading statement. It is learning that innovation alone does not make for success. It aims to boost sales of its software, which allows browsers to remotely access other software over the Internet. This empowers call centre telephonists to call up consumer data on-screen.
IE has secured six contracts since the software's November launch, with the likes of Reuters and Royal Bank of Scotland, and is seeking alliances to capitalise. IE cut pre-tax losses for the year to 31 December by pounds 2m to pounds 1.02m - good progress, but the software market is increasingly competitive and future earnings growth is not guaranteed. Speculative.
