Spring Group chooses Adapt in 500,000 deal

Bond International Software (UK) Ltd is delighted to announce an agreement with the leading international Human Capital Management company, Spring Group plc, to supply their market-leading Adapt software throughout the group.

The deal, worth over 500,000, represents the largest European order for Bond in over three years and adds to an already brimming order book for the Sussex-based supplier of turnkey solutions to the staffing industry.

Spring already use products supplied by Bond. Adapt is in use at Elizabeth Hunt, the specialist managerial, secretarial and support staff recruitment provider in London and now Leeds, and EZaccess (acquired by Bond earlier this year) is used by Spring Technology Staffing Services, the largest provider of contingent and permanent IT and technology recruitment services in the UK.

Spring CEO Richard Barfield said: ìWe carried out an exceptionally thorough review of all the products and suppliers available and it was obvious very early on that Bond was a clear winner. The flexibility of the product, coupled with their already proven ability to provide high levels of technical support and customer service made them the only choice.î

ìSpring is the market leader with the most innovative and widest range of products and services supporting our ambitious growth plans. So we needed a supplier able to support us in this. Our employees are at the very heart of our success, and it is essential that we invest in the best technology available to provide them with the means to achieve their potential.î

Bond International MD Tim Richards said ìTo secure such a large contract deal with the biggest name in technology recruitment is a huge boost for Bond at a time when we are seeing a solid revival in our fortunes. After a creditable performance in 2003, 2004 looks set to be even better, and we also have our new flagship version of Adapt due to be released in the second half of this year, which should further strengthen our position as market leader.î
