Yes, dudes - if it's so good why is the director selling? Which director will be selling next? :D:D:D

Just like when D F Mainland listed and the directors and management were the first ones to sell - 3 months befoere it went broke. [}:)][}:)][}:)]

[mikescott]

Oh dear! Strathmore becomes MTG and since Roaddog tried to ramp it last as Strathmore, it has only lost 88% of its value!

And the volume traded means Mr Norman will be still at it until 2006.:D:D:D

[mikescott]

Oh dear - lots of selling, Roaddog, but only 1,000 bid at 13 cents, 7,000 at 11c.

There's a buyer at 10c for 50,000 shares though. Must be you trying to hold the share price up. :D:D:D

Good Boy. Just move that 50,000 false buy you have at 10c to 11c and I'm sure Phil ('Strathmore is the greatest') Norman will give you some of his shares. :D:D

And there's plenty more from other directors, I'm sure. ;)

[roaddog]

Hi Dudes,


MTG now at 12 cents [:I]


Disks at centre of a burning business proposition

17.08.2004
By ADAM GIFFORD
If they don't have a printer driver they need, most people will download it from the manufacturer's site - right?

Not so, says Allan Morton of Auckland firm Media Technology, which has built up a tidy business burning Hewlett Packard drivers to CD and delivering them overnight.

"They can download for free, but more than half the people prefer to pay to get a disk overnight," Morton said.

And not just HP drivers. Media Technology, which has become a listed company through a reverse takeover of the shell company Strathmore, is finding effective ways of delivering software in New Zealand and Australia for a wide range of companies.

"It's not just replication. We had to think about how these customers go to market," Morton said.

Take Sensis, Telstra Australia's directories subsidiary, which has put its Whereis map data into digital format for in-car navigation systems.

Morton said that when the opportunity arose to make the Whereis disks, the potential market for Sensis appeared to be a one-off sale to the 30,000 Australians with in-car navigation.

"We thought there was an ongoing business in this, but how do you update the maps? For Sensis, the money is in the data, but they had no mechanism to track the customer - the customer is owned by the car retailer or the aftermarket, not the people who own the map data."

Working with Sensis senior product manager Arthur Constantinou, Media Technology built a fulfilment system to reach the 50 per cent of BMW, Lexus or Mercedes owners shown by test-marketing to be willing to update their in-car navigation data each year.

When a customer places an order on the Whereis website, the information is sent to both Whereis and Media Technology, which burns, packs and sends the A$345 DVD.

Updating the data on the in-car system is important because it is used not just for plotting the route from A to B, but for finding the nearest place to park or the best motorway exit - and that can change from month to month.

While in-car navigation is now limited to top-end marques, Toyota is talking about putting systems in its new Corollas.

"It is not inconceivable in a few years we could have a million maps out there," Morton said.

Media Technology's fulfilment processes change for each customer, so it built its own back-end systems rather than buy packaged e-commerce software.

Morton said such packages contained more features than the company needed, and did not address some of its unique requirements.

Instead, it takes the Visio planning documents developed during consultation with customers and exports the business rules into websites created around Microsoft Biztalk Server.

The money is processed on the customers' sites or ones they specify, leaving Media Technology to burn, pack and send the disks.

A keen student of Moore's Law, which governs the relationship between price and storage capacity, Morton is not afraid disks will succumb to broadband any time soon, "just because for $1 you can store and distribute 5 gigabytes. You can't get that off the net for that price".

Media Technology started out as Software Images, putting data on 5 1/4 inch floppy disks.

As each new digital replication standard has emerged, it has invested in the technology to meet likely demand.

"I used to draw digital convergence diagrams, and say, 'The next industry to emerge will be games'. Then I said next is the telecommunications industry, and we made millions of floppy disks and then CDs for companies like Voyager and Xtra," said Morton.

"People said movies have too much data. I said 'just wait,' and next minute they turn up."

He is picking the next move will be replicating data in bulk onto SD (Secure Digital) flash memory cards, once they become cheaper.

Media Technology Group Limited
Established in 1989 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in 2004, Media Technology is Australasia's Leader in Business to Business e-Fulfilment of Digital Media Products.

Headquartered in Auckland New Zealand, the company has over 100 staff and 4 offices in Australia and New Zealand.

Operating across four major regional centers - Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - the company provides digital media to some of the world's largest and most prominent companies, including accounting firms, consulting firms, legal firms, and technology groups.



heres a bit of history on Media Technology Published on 20/11/2003

Australian digital media company, Media Technology Pacific Pty Ltd formerly part of Tech Pacific Holding Pty Limited, has merged with New Zealand company Software Images. The trigger for this business alignment came when clients of both companies were looking for similar service providers on both sides of the Tasman to extend their e-commerce solutions. Media Technology Pacific Pty Ltd will revert to its name prior of Media Technology Pty Ltd.

Media Technology has operated in Australia since 1981 and its principle focus has been digital media production and fulfillment for government and corporate clients. The merger with the New Zealand company, who has a very similar focus, allows Software Images well-proven e-commerce fulfilment technologies and business strategies to be deployed in Australia with a similar customer base.

Media Technology and Software Images combined turnover surpasses A$15 million, currently employing over 150 staff and delivering approximately 10 million CDs. Within this calendar year additional staff will be employed and sales are expected to grow beyond A$20 million, as new technologies and processes are deployed on both sides of the Tasman. Media Technology will be expanding its CD card business into New Zealand.

Tech Pacific’s Manager of Publishing Services, Greg McDonald, will become the General Manager of Media Technology. He says "We see a huge opportunity to deploy proven e-commerce fulfilment solutions with our combined customers. Our XML/SGML development experience enables us to deliver innovative digital media b2b publishing solutions across the Tasman." Allan Morton, CEO of the group, agrees that "This is a significant step for Media Technology to extend its operations into NZ over the next few months."

Media Technology’s Electronic Information Fulfilment team is an experienced developer of industrial strength SGML and XML applications. The team has analysed, built, tested and deployed SGML/XML based solutions for James Cook University, Central Queensland University, GEC Marconi (now BAE Systems), Australian Taxation Office, Konami Australia, International Game Technology, Unisys, and similar large - scale publishing organisations.

Media Technology bring to the merger high volume relationships associated with production and fulfilment of digital media for companies such as AOL, Optus, Telstra, Maus Software and major government departments. Media Technology also has a strategic relationship with Sony Music and Entertainment. Media Technology is creating a lead in the marketing and fulfilment of CD cards, which are the new high tech interactive business card that carries up to 40Mb of multimedia content. Similarly, Software Images leads with it’s own product, the Shaped CD Card in its market. There are many other areas where complementary products and business relationships will be extended.

John Bishop III the General Manager of the New Zealand company says, "We have long since resolved many pitfalls that new entrants to b2b e-commerce fulfilment are finding and are keen to extend our experience to Media Technology. Over the past five years we have proven ourselves as a

The head of the company talks with an Apple powerbook in front of him, yet the CD delivered, is not a hybrid crossplatform CD and does not work on Apple Mac. It is not that hard to make a hybrid CDRom to work on PC AND Mac.

[KW]

Hmm, here in Australia that CD "business card" thing seems old fashioned. Current trend is to put your company logo and info on USB memory sticks and pass them out :-)
Also, I know the bulk of their business over the last few years came from the ISPs (in particular xtra) sending out dial up internet software connection packs - demand for which is pretty low these days considering internet connections are at saturation point.
Plus DVDs may already be on the way out - movie companies in the US are now beginning Net downloads for broadband customers.
Media distribution is an interesting game - the technology changes so fast its hard to predict how successful this company will be in 3 or 5 years.
