While transparency is no doubt a good thing, you may have to consider following points

- The overall structure of your team and who will benefit from which information. - Should you share everything at one go or defer the announcement (Important so that target audience is not overwhelmed but should be able to grasp what you are sharing) - Create a bi-weekly or monthly update program and then identify what and how much should be shared - Majority of the people are interested in how the information will benefit them (most of the time whats the direct impact on the money they will get), so don't be disappointed in case you share a good SI partnership news and no one is excited. - Staggered approach is always better. It indicates that company is on growth path. - Be sure to check legal clauses before you disclose something well before it materializes. - In addition to above points, there are also situations wherein deals/partnerships have been revoked after everything was signed, disclosing such announcement too early also creates bad impact when things don't work out.

There is no silver rule about what you should do, but don't spill everything as most of it will be either ignored or people will still find ways to criticize. There are very few who will be excited about the future of a company than their personal gains.
