OCL just had their investor presentation. I put in a written question to them asking what their revenue exposure was to their biggest customer and their top 5 customers and they chose to ignore the question. This is after experiencing on a few occasions the company being unresponsive to my investor inquiries and to others as well. I feel this puts a big question over management integrity and transparency. Just an observation for what it is worth.

They are the only company I have ever experienced this with.

Are you referring to the acronym USP? That is an internal reference to their Upgrade and Support Program to upsell and convert existing customer cohorts onto their Nexus Cloud platform. Typical licensing/on-premise to cloud (SaaS) conversion I reckon.

Anytime. Reporting season is always hectic, especially if you have a day job. I missed what I would have considered a buying opportunity in OCL near the lows :)

That's not a great look. Sigh. Given how they have delivered for shareholders over many years though, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

It seems like the most private public company on the ASX. Very high insider ownership and the CEO power seems even more concentrated with the board member Gary Fisher resigning after 30 years. Does anyone know if he was one of the original founders? That comes after the COO reported he left last year, and I noticed the CMO Chris Britton on LinkedIn has announced he is with another company. Certainly very different to Technology One who communicate a clear management team.

I get the impression it is still a family/founder led company with some governance/IR/PR inadequacies compared to TNE which is very much conformed to the normal way of doing things - I believe OCL will get there.

@LifeCapital i actually believe TW has presented before. also i get the impression he is by nature quite dismissive and retail investors are ignored quite a bit as i am finding out. in terms of being ignored i think it is not great but i put a red line through MIN for that reason years ago, that backfired lol, so i think it is hit and miss, i would not draw too many conclusions ats. imo

It would have been a mistake to put a red line through OCL too :)

I'm glad they decided to become a public company, given the enormous return shareholders have enjoyed (myself included, though sadly my position size isn't particularly life changing!).
