Small caps round-up: Netcall, @UK, Belgravium

Details of the UK government's G-Cloud framework agreement are out and companies that have been picked as approved suppliers have lost little time in announcing the fact. The G-Cloud is a UK government initiative designed to bring together a collective resource of cloud-based information technology (IT) services for use by public authorities.

@UK, the cloud e-commerce marketplace, said it has been recognised as an approved supplier in each of the four lots of the framework. Netcall, the provider of customer helpline software, has been named as an approved supplier of Software-as-a-Service solutions.

Sticking with the IT theme, Belgravium Technologies, the designer and supplier of computing solutions and services for the mobile computing market, has installed MSS, its on-board retail software system, for in-flight retail use on British Airways. Around 1900 Kestrel handsets designed and assembled by Belgravium have been supplied to British Airways as well as the necessary software and hardware support. In addition, through its commercial partner Tourvest, an agreement is in place for Belgravium to provide on-going maintenance for both hardware and software.

dotDigital Group provides software as a service products for digital market professionals, although the target market probably did not need to be made explicit given the self-consciously idiosyncratic use of capitalisation in the company's name. The group increased underlying pre-tax profit to £1.25m in the six months to the end of 2011 from £1.03m the year before. Revenue grew to £5.5m from £4.1m. The business has continued to be cash generative with net cash inflows from operations of £1.2m and the cash balance at the end of 2011 was £2.9m.
