ManpowerGroup - largest staffing software deal ever

Bond International Software agrees $12m global deal with Manpower

Bond International Software plc, the specialist provider of software for the international recruitment and human resources industries, with operations in the UK, USA and Australia, today announced that the Company has been chosen by Manpower to deploy its Adapt software as the basis for Manpower's global front office system throughout the world-wide network of 4,400 offices in more than 70 countries. The deal, worth up to $12m over five years, has been awarded to Bond following an in-depth technical and functional review.

Manpower's selection of Bond is based on several key criteria. Adapt's multi-lingual support allows any number of languages to be embedded within one database and all text to be presented in the native language and character set of the specific user. In addition, Adapt is fully platform and database independent, scaleable and configurable, with comprehensive self-service features. Thirdly, Bond is the largest and most experienced provider of staffing software solutions world-wide, with 30 years experience, a global support
presence and thousands of clients in more than 40 countries.

'The robust and versatile capabilities highlighted by Manpower place the Adapt suite of software at the cornerstone of most of the world's leading staffing companies,' explains CEO Steve Russell. 'This important responsibility is underpinned by our continuous program of product and service development.'

'We are honoured to partner an organization that has been at the forefront of managing human resources for over 50 years, and we look forward to the challenge of helping them continue to improve standards through the international employment services industry.'
