The company confirms that bookings for FY17 were in line with market expectations. We are forecasting FY17 bookings of £882k (+63% y-o-y), with £445k already reported in H117. As well as benefiting from its ‘land and expand’ strategy, the company expects to see new business from its UK and international channel partners. We expect the company to report FY17 results in March.

In December, the company announced the launch of PxM Express, the first freemium version of its PxM software. PxM Express is a scaled-down version of the company’s PxM Platform, which enables businesses to use Osirium’s PAM software for free to protect up to 25 devices. We view this as a key marketing tool, which should enable companies to trial the software before rolling it out, on a paid basis, to a wider range of devices.
