Venzee Reports Second Quarter 2018 Fiscal Results

Venzee Technologies Inc (TSXV:VENZ) (“Venzee” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  Revenues for the quarter were $47,480 (2017 – $40,894), an 80% increase over the first quarter of this year.

During the quarter, the Company advanced its business strategy on several fronts, specifically:

• Reinforced its API (application programming interface) technology, Mesh, for content distribution, in anticipation of impending client partnerships. The Mesh API enables data to flow seamlessly across disparate systems for any database, in any industry, across any system limitation, enabling digitized data aggregation and distribution and automatic transformation of data to meet endpoint requirements.
• Filed a patent to protect its Mesh API, an industry first, designed to be future proof by including support for Blockchain technology, which is seeing increasing adoption by industry leaders
• Advanced discussion with more than 30 potential enterprise channel partners, of which 2 have signed strategic agreements. Many of these potential partners have a strong market share in their respective verticals in North America.  Venzee’s channel partners are primarily technology-focused companies and global system integrators, such as Product Information Management (PIM), Content Management System (CMS), Digital Asset Management (DAM), Enterprise Resource Management (ERM), and Master Data Management (MDM) and many more, which benefit by providing Venzee’s solutions to their current and future customers.
• Venzee entered into a definitive partnership agreement with Lansa (www.lansa.com) to bring together Lansa’s PIM solutions with Venzee’s data distribution capabilities.  The combined efforts will provide a comprehensive content solution for companies looking to organize and optimize product information and efficiently and effectively distribute that product information to their retailers and distributors outside of the Global Data Synchronization Network.
• Appointed Issa Nakhleh as Chief Financial Officer.  Previously, Mr. Nakhleh worked as the CFO with companies such as UrtheCast and TIR Systems, both TSX listed public technology companies, overseeing substantial revenue growth at both of those companies.
