Infinite Group, Inc. (IGI) (OTCQB: IMCI) announced plans to uplist to the NASDAQ markets following a reverse split later this month. Now, in most cases, investors tend to run from share consolidations. But in IMCI’s case, the move presents an opportunity. Frankly, with only 453,149 shares expected to be issued and outstanding post-split, and with the move part of an expected near-term uplist, investment consideration may be too good to ignore.
Keep in mind that the strategic decision to consolidate shares is a value-creating measure. In fact, it’s not being done to maintain a listing but rather to enhance one. Moreover, moving to the NASDAQ markets adds another class of elite investors that understand value propositions and are typically quick to take advantage. IMCI presents one. Not only because of the emerging share structure but because the company is well-managed and has best-in-industry products targeting a massive Managed Service Provider (MSP) ecosystem. trading ahead of the R/S may be a wise consideration. With less than 500,000 shares in play post-transaction, the laws of supply and demand can make the path of least resistance appreciably higher.
That may very well be the case. Those following IMCI know that its wholly-owned subsidiary, IGI Cyberlabs, recently announced that its patented award-winning Nodeware® technology made further progress supporting vital integrations in the MSP space through key strategic partnerships. These integrations are more than near-term value drivers for IMCI and its investors; they also accelerate IMCI’s long-term mission to provide powerful and robust solutions enabling their partners and clients to simplify business processes, increase revenue, and deliver added value to their customers.
A Bullish Trend
That news sent IMCI shares and volume appreciably higher before market gravity pulled the stock back to previous levels. But that pullback was market-wide, not company-specific, which means the investment proposition based on growing intrinsic and inherent value is still in play. Considering how tiny the float will be, timely too.
Of course, while a compelling investment proposition today, it’s expected to get better. That results from IMCI strengthening its market position by maximizing the potential of its best-in-class Nodeware® software solutions. Keep in mind that while the recently announced integrations are accretive to revenue growth, investors should also look past the headline and understand that it’s just one part of IGI CyberLabs’ focus on delivering vulnerability management solutions through its Nodeware® platform. In other words, there’s plenty more to like about IMCI’s prospects.
Foremost, as a vital and best-in-class asset for IMCI, Nodeware® is positioned and expected to drive numerous integrations and add value to other products. Doing so will further the mission of better cyber hygiene for IMCI’s MSP partners and customers. There are plenty of them.
An Impressive Client List Getting Bigger
And just as important, with each new integration, the exposure for Nodeware® increases, likely increasing the number of mid-market customers’ awareness of the benefits of lightweight, continuous scanning. Industry accolades are being earned, too. Janet Schijns, CEO of The JS Group and a CIO Look Top 10 Woman in Tech, recently said, “The approach of Nodeware to integrate with other MSP-friendly software and solutions providers is impressive and extremely relevant for MSPs of all shapes and sizes as they continue to innovate to provide the services their MSP customers need to protect their data and businesses,” She added, “Integrating what they do best with what other providers do best, is a winning combination and I applaud them.”
Those sentiments are more than corporate ego boosters; they are helping IMCI score some impressive deals. Among them are strategic integration partnerships with SecurityStudio, Cysurance, and Gradient MSP. All are expected to drive value, and better yet, sooner than later.
Growing Revenues Through Accretive Deals
Its deal with SecurityStudio, a nationally recognized risk management company, incorporates the vulnerability scanning data from Nodeware® into its S2 risk management platform to provide an enhanced risk picture to MSP customers that are continuous, defensible, and insurable. This integration is further enhanced by the partnership with Cysurance. This specialized cyber insurance provider allows their products to be included in a security stack, protecting MSPs and their clients.
Speaking about its value, Ryan Cloutier, President of SecurityStudio, said, “By leveraging our integration partners and the S2 WISE approach to cybersecurity, we are able to put risk into a business context, empowering the MSPs we serve to connect better with the business, do more with less effort and more accuracy, and keep the businesses they serve focused on what they do best.” Other clients are equally impressed.
Kirsten Bay, CEO of Cysurance, said, “The data from the Nodeware® and SecurityStudio solutions gives us the ability to provide best-in-class cyber insurance to MSPs and their clients.” She added, ” It dramatically improves underwriting outcomes and reduces risk for everyone.” More simply stated, Nodeware® makes excellent companies better. And that recognition validates the IMCI solutions and empowers growth.
That’s again evidenced by Nodeware® being integrated into Gradient MSP’s Synthesize platform, allowing them to automate billing reconciliation for MSPs. Notably, the integration of Nodeware now supports eight of the top PSAs in the IT channel, enabling them to reconcile their Nodeware licenses in a single mouse click. That’s not all.
MSP Clients Benefit
MSP solution providers are leveraging Nodeware® ‘s integration capabilities as well. ThreatAdvice, a company focused on cybersecurity management solutions for the MSP space, has integrated Nodeware and Cysurance as the engines behind the Detect IT and Protect IT modules, respectively, of its Breach Protection Platform. Also, in addition to being the first continuous platform-agnostic vulnerability scanner, Nodeware® provides comprehensive, easy-to-digest data for MSPs to use for the management and remediation of their clients. That makes it competitive to products from IBM (NYSE: IBM), Infosys (NASDAQ: INFY), and Accenture Plc. (NYSE: ACN).
Indeed, for a layman, it’s technical language. But simply stated, it means that IMCI is ushering in parts of a technological revolution. And it can make smallcap IMCI grow bigger faster than many think. They have the infrastructure in place to make that happen.
Based in Rochester, NY, IMCI leverages strength from a remote workforce across the United States, delivering technology and people-driven cybersecurity for personalized, resilient cyber defense focused on individualized business strategy, enterprise-wide expertise, and unshakeable partnerships. As noted, the shining star of the product portfolio is the OEM of the Nodeware® vulnerability management solution, an award-winning SaaS platform that continuously scans networks to identify critical vulnerabilities. It’s a value driver for IMCI and a technology game-changer for businesses in multiple sectors with different needs.
In other words, they have the right product in the right markets at the right time. Actually, that’s a fitting description for Nodeware® , noting it’s already an in-demand cybersecurity solution helping businesses reduce their risk of ransomware or other cyber-attacks with breakthrough simplicity and affordability.
Clients like it because it’s easy to use, but also because, as a SaaS solution, it can be integral in helping businesses meet compliance requirements. More importantly, it can be effectively and efficiently bundled with other IT or security offerings to upsell managed services.
Positioned For Growth
Investors considering pre-split opportunities may get the best bang for their investment buck. That takes into account the valuation disconnect already exposed by a company doing far more than its share price reflects. Considering that IMCI will be better positioned from a capital perspective and have an enhanced ability to attract institutional interest, trading ahead of news may be the wisest consideration.
Thus, while shares may be churning ahead of the consolidation, the bullish move in September showed that investors are paying attention to the IMCI story. So, while indiscriminate weakness in microcaps may hurt portfolios in the short term, it has also exposed significant opportunities. And with the pullback after its bullish move, a second chance investment opportunity in IMCI.
