Global Leader in Staffing and Recruitment Software Acquires one of its Largest Competitors in the US

LONDON, October 21, 2010 - Bond International Software www.bondinternationalsoftware.com, the
global leader in staffing and recruitment software, has acquired VCG
www.vcgsoftware.com, one of the US's leading staffing and recruiting
software developers, at a cost of $9 million.

The merger significantly strengthens Bond's position as the largest
global provider of staffing and recruitment software, allowing Bond to secure
an important additional portion of the US market. Customers of both companies
will be able to take advantage of the combined portfolio of products,
expertise and available support.

Steve Russell, Chief Executive of Bond International Software, comments,
"Clearly this acquisition is an exciting moment in our company's history and
will allow us to secure ourselves a highly enviable position in the staffing
software market, from both a US perspective and internationally. The clear
synergies between the two companies and their respective offerings provide us
with the confidence that no changes to brands, products, company structure or
delivery of the products are required - clearly a huge advantage in any
acquisition."

Steve Taylor, President and CEO of VCG, said, "Together, Bond and VCG are
uniquely positioned to provide staffing organisations with the most
comprehensive set of solutions available in the marketplace. The resulting
product portfolios will ensure that staffing companies will be able to choose
from several available options to best meet their needs."
