27-08-09	emarker plus junk	MUFC the best


	View Author's profile \| Add to favourites \| Ignore \| Author's posts
	Well the exam results are out and no news is good news i.e. no c*ck-ups pointing to DRS for once. The figures suggest that the e-marker stuff actually works very well and has been extended to cope with long essay style answers. e-marker allows examiners to mark just one essay style question on a script (for instance). It is producing a "production line" type model for marking. With education accounting for about 80% of turnover and e-marker about 70% of the education turnover, DRS is dangerously exposed to any "wimps" at the AQA examining board. Given the rest of DRS is just plain junk, you would expect somebody out there in the education market to buy DRS just for e-marker and put the rest of it out of its misery More \| View thread (1) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down
06-07-09	Failed to move with the times	Chabazite


	View Author's profile \| Add to favourites \| Ignore \| Author's posts
	I suspect the problem with this company is that it simply failed to move with the times having got hung up on a technologies that belong in the arc. I used to work for this outfit many years ago and at the time they went public there was just a chance (tiny chance) they could have adopted a different vision. IMHO the middle management was poorly educated from a business angle, and the executive somewhat lacking in any fresh vision or initiative. The company got hung up like an old gramophone needle. Document reading it was and document reading it remains. What is really sad is that DRS has had a number of great opportunities to win through in some high profile contracts like the Mayoral and Scottish elections which could have made a significant difference to their public standing. Unfortunately they both backfired quite in quite spectacular fashion. Certainly I had (and have) great respect for MB, one of the cleverest guys I have worked with. However he must be very disappointed to have left the business performing so badly. PS - I am not a shareholder within this company and have no intention of becoming one in the foreseeable future.

26-06-09	Six pensions Kinnock puts his hand in hi...	MUFC the best


	View Author's profile \| Add to favourites \| Ignore \| Author's posts
	The welsh windbag, together with is Missus, should be able to throw the odd 5 grand at DRS. Kinnock gets about 112 grand in pension as a former MP and Euro commissioner. Glenys only gets 48 grand from the European parliament pension pot (plus one when she did a "real" job as a teacher). Of course Glenys is catching up fast, she is Minister for Europe and thus scoring £83K a year. Plus, of course, entitlement to another pension eventually. Kinnock is scoring 25 grand from DRS, up from 20 grand the previous year. So the extra 5 grand he scored from DRS this year (a year in which DRS went into free fall under the leadership of the morons on the board) he has eventually taken in shares.

11-05-09	Concrete Cows more use than this shower	MUFC the best


	View Author's profile \| Add to favourites \| Ignore \| Author's posts
	Any doubt that the heap of cow dune a.k.a. DRS is a disaster currently in progress has been eliminated by the demise of Malcolm Brighton. Clearly not up to the job (personally I doubt if he ever were up to the job): Brighton is pursuing new opportunities (such as night watchman on the concrete cows). Clearly this will be a challenging role for Malcolm: hopefully the rest of the useless DRS mafia will go the same way i.e. Lee and Tebbutt. At the results last March the joke management forecast DRS would grow over the coming year. Today that has become "HALF YEAR RESULTS EXPECTED TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE THAN LAST YEAR". Hopefully Sir David Brown, who has been on the board since August last year can organise a "fire sale" whilst there is some value left "putting the relocation of our production facilities on hold" suggests DRS is haemorrhagging cash at a frighting rate. Clearly the DocXP crap is still a problem. "Sales of DocXPÂ® continue to be disappointing but the volume of sales prospects is more encouraging", means they can't give the crap away. Is the Welsh Windbag a.k.a. Neil Kinnock still on the board? Giving the heave ho would save Â£25K without any noticeable effect More \| View thread (1) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down
