StockMarketWire.com - Forbidden Technologies' organic growth drove a double-digit percentage sales increase in 2011 and its visible sales pipeline for this year already shows a further expansion.

Forbidden says it is focussing on four market segments, addressed through corresponding channels.

Each channel is aimed at leveraging partner companies' existing infrastructure and customers to encourage the rapid take up of its Cloud video platform FORscene.

The company's first segment is Episodic Television.

It is moving up in scale by signing up Post Houses to act as channels to market, making FORscene available to their production company clients.

The Post House channel is growing quickly, leading to a 94% increase in 2011 first half sales in broadcast post, and continued high percentage growth in the second half, albeit slightly lower than first six months.

The second segment is real time or near real time use, and includes News and Sport.

The advances in FORscene, including real time editing of live content and mobile access, have allowed Forbidden to address the two major markets of News and Sport.

Progress has been made in both these areas, with major partners from both signed in 2011.

The third segment is large scale video systems delivered by systems integrators.

In this segment, Forbidden is not directly interfacing with potential end users.

The group says that although progress has been slower than expected and is less predictable than other segments, it has large potential scale at marginal cost to the company.

The fourth segment is video for the consumer and the social media world.

In social networking, Clesh publishes to both YouTube and Facebook.

The company expects progress through our Canadian distributor Formidable Technologies and their clients, though this has yet to show up in the results.
