Imex To Add Additional Verticals to iGov Platform—Payments and Cybersecurity
TORONTO, July 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imex Systems Inc. ("Imex" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IMEX), a software solution provider to Governments, Municipalities and Public Authorities, has successfully closed its non-brokered private placement of equity units for of Imex for gross proceeds of $1,999,015.76. The Company will use the proceeds for working capital, accelerating near-term revenue opportunities and marketing purposes.
The Company continues to grow the existing consulting and staffing business. It has largely re-established the goodwill and Vendor of Record status with key North American clients for the Company's consultant staffing business. It will be expanding the products and services to its current municipal users. These Canadian clients are valuable references and play a key role in Imex's North American expansion.
The Company is in the final stages of discussion with an established mobile wallet company that is fast expanding its global presence both in government and private enterprises. The intent is to establish a joint venture leveraging the other party's IP along with Imex's iGov platform as the business process management platform for government payroll, tax collection, citizen benefits direct payments and solving critical issues in both G2B and G2C processes. In addition, the joint venture company will also offer a Blockchain based procurement and trade financing platform for secured and transparent management of these functions.
The Company is also in discussion with a cyber security software company to offer, as part of Imex iGov platform, the full suite of cyber security for government networks and applications
"With the addition of the above functions as an integration with the iGov platform, Imex will have a much broader reach into government sectors, particularly, in the developing economies. This will also enhance the Company's residual revenue potential through licencing, transaction and support fees," stated Kris Parthiban, Interim CEO.
The Company is also in dialogue with the Government of Botswana and expects to come to settlement terms in the near future.
