archTIS beats 2018 revenues in ASX-debut quarter

Archtis Ltd (ASX:AR9) raised $8 million from investors, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and drew in $762,000 of customer receipts in a landmark September quarter.

The company, which listed on the ASX on September 21, today released its quarterly report and affirmed its capital raising would support the commercialisation of its Kojensi information sharing and collaboration products.

Barton, Canberra-based archTIS is currently beta-testing the Kojensi Gov platform with its first confirmed client, the federal Attorney General’s Department.

archTIS managing director & CEO Daniel Lai told Proactive Investors’ Stocktube channel the business was a demonstration of demand for the product which allows for secure information sharing.

Lai said: “For them to choose us ... demonstrates to us that we’re on the right track, the product’s meeting the demand that we targeted into the marketplace, but more importantly that there’s that need and demand there.”

Another achievement for the company in the September quarter was a strategic partnership for the secure Vault Cloud community cloud for critical and government infrastructure.

The Kojensi Gov platform was built on archTIS’ secure information sharing and collaboration platform currently being deployed by the Australian Department of Defence.

archTIS plans to host Kojensi Gov on Vault’s Australian Signals Directorate-certified cloud platform for government clients.

The company plans to launch its government-targeted product in the January 2019 financial quarter.

It has previously demonstrated the product which allows secure cross-agency information sharing at the Technology in Government Conference in Canberra on August 7, 2018.
