SoundView Technology Group Equity Research Update; Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS)

December 18, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) SoundView Technology Group Equity Research Update.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has recently committed to a solid core strategy of "Devices & Services" for the company. Even prior to a new CEO being named this has led to a much clearer path forward for Microsoft, their partners and their customers.

It also comes on the heels of a deepened technology partnership and revenue sharing agreement between Microsoft Global Security and Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS) for cloud-based access control security products.
Most importantly this opens up a major technology licensing opportunity for Viscount as it is now clear to all equipment makers that they will absolutely need a software approach over IP networks.
As a small company with a substantial patent position and strong relationship with one of the key cloud infrastructure suppliers we see a licensing strategy emerging in 2014 and beyond for Viscount Systems which will help large but low innovation players like Tyco (TYC), Honeywell (HON) and Johns Controls (JCI) offer compatible security and access control products.
The licensing program now is only aspirational but the near-term business trends have remained intact thus far in the December quarter. We expect to see a continuation of improving YoY growth and solid sequential growth when the company closes the books on 2013.
The research update note is available at this link: http://s3.amazonaws.com/Published_Research/Viscount_VSYS_Note_Dec_2013.pdf

As the global chief marketing officer at MasterCard, he managed a $1.5 billion budget, directed marketing strategies in more than 50 countries and helped launch the company's hugely successful "Priceless" advertising campaign. He also established strategic partnerships with Major League Baseball, the PGA Tour and Champions League soccer in Europe and was part of the executive team that spearheaded MasterCard's highly successful initial public offering in 2006. He earned six Gold Effie awards from the American Marketing Association, the most prestigious honor among marketing professionals, and was recognized as one of the "25 Most Influential People in Sports" in 2004 by SportBusiness International.

He launched MasterPass, the firm's digital wallet solution and important pillar to overall strategy, achieving over 25,000 online merchants, and wallet distribution with over 20 financial institutions.
Moy has extensive experience in large-scale rollouts, partnerships, corporate development, strategic planning, business administration and product management, in the technology, commerce and financial services space. He led an exclusive agreement with Google, Citibank and First Data to launch Google Wallet, the first commercially available mobile payment solutions. He also led an exclusive agreement with Intel for access to embedded technology in Intel PCs to deliver enhanced security and user experience for electronic ecommerce.
Prior to his nearly 14 year career at MasterCard, Mr. Moy enjoyed a successful 10 year career at Citibank where he held a range of leadership roles in the firm's payment cards and wholesale banking businesses.
He was a Smart Card Alliance Board Member from 2004-2010 and is a frequent industry speaker and commentator.
Presently, Moy is Founder and President of Harvest Advisors LLC, a provider of strategy, business development and implementation advice to start-ups and technology solution providers in the developing commerce space.

Biometric Stock Alert: NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD) Upcoming Release of Wocket(TM) Taps Into Ramping Demand for Digital Wallets and Currencies

BOSTON, MA - December 11, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SoundView Technology Group: New research note points to recent industry developments as important drivers to adoption of the upcoming NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD) Wocket.

Over 7 million consumers have watched a marketing video for a new digital wallet with a very limited feature set. Consumer interest in this product area is high and accelerating.
The commercial development of new digital currencies like Bitcoin has continued despite extreme price volatility. Industry leaders from companies like PayPal have acknowledged the value and viability of the new currency. At the same time mainstream venture capital firms like Andreesen Horowitz have stepped up their efforts to find "major bets" to make in this new market.
These industry developments increase our confidence and enthusiasm for the NXT-ID (NXTD) Wocket™ both as a digital wallet and a potential secure storage option for Bitcoins. As we outline in our note, the Wocket has a much more robust design in terms of security and usability.
We see the following as key advantages for the NXT-ID Wocket:
Security: Using a secure chip the Wocket can store 100s of cards and digital records. Authentication is multi-factor and includes biometrics. Cards go into the Wocket directly without involving unsecure intermediate steps.
Usability: The Wocket includes an ultra-lower power touchscreen display in addition to the dynamic magnetic stripe as both a UI and QR-code mechanism. A combination of power management, in-wallet charging and standard battery means that consumers won't have to fear a "dead wallet."
Flexibility: Rather than being tied to a phone or platform the Wocket can be paired with any device either locally or in the cloud when secure protocols are available. This dynamic pairing is a key feature of the NXT-ID approach and is a powerful and highly differentiated aspect of their technology.
NXT-ID is an early stage technology company going after a large market. Based on initial traction and a conservative intrinsic valuation (IV) model show a fair value of $11/share we see the company continuing to benefit from intensive investor attention to this space.
