WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 03/19/13 — iGen Networks Corporation (OTCQB: IGEN), the industry-leading technology accelerator, is pleased to announce the purchase of 2,078,080 shares of Gogiro Internet Group Inc., bringing its total ownership in Gogiro to 31.5%.
This investment, which follows two previously reported cash investments, was facilitated through the issuance of 1,731,733 common shares of iGen. The transaction included the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of Gogiro from Mr. Neil Chan, CEO and Director of both iGen and Gogiro, through the issuance of 1,666,667 shares of iGen.
“We have been working hard with Gogiro over the past year to dramatically expand the company-s distribution channels, re-tool and enhance its cloud-based platform and business offerings, and successfully increase its revenues,” comments Richard Freeman, Chief Operations Officer of iGen Networks Corporation. “Consistent with iGen-s business model, our increased investment is further testament not only to our confidence in the growth of the online marketing and cloud-based business services market, but in particular to Gogiro-s ability to successfully capitalize on these markets.”
A recent survey(1) of 1,300 US and UK executives revealed that cloud computing is not only delivering potential savings and flexibility for existing organizations, but also laying the groundwork for a new generation of business startups. In fact according to the IDC, by 2015 about 24% of all new business software purchases will be Software-as-a-Service delivery.
