Johannesburg, 13 Sep 2006

MCI, the exclusive distributor for Bond International Software in South Africa, today announced that Professional Assignments Group (PAG), a member of the Kelly Group (Pty) Ltd, has installed Adapt as its recruitment software, thus joining other members of the group, such as Kelly and Accountants On Call, which have also adopted the same system.

"Originally we were utilising a home-grown software system for our recruitment activities but found that it had major shortcomings in terms of our current and projected future requirements," commented Lawrence Wordon, MD of PAG. "The Adapt system overcomes these issues and, as with the other members of the group, we are delighted at the facilities and capabilities of the system as well as its ease of use. Additionally, the support we have received from MCI has been top-class."

"We are delighted that PAG has at long last joined our elite list of Adapt users, especially as one of their sister companies, Kelly, has been exploiting the software since 1998," commented Aliki Droussiotis, Director of MCI Consultants. "By being associated with the world`s largest staffing, recruiting and human capital management software vendor we are able to satisfy most, if not all, of the needs that our local recruitment market requires."

PAG is a wholly owned division of LogicalOptions Staffing (Pty) Ltd, the largest human capital organisation in South Africa. The group companies offer a comprehensive range of cutting-edge HR-related services including payroll outsourcing, industrial relations and remuneration consulting.

The Kelly Group (Pty) Ltd is jointly owned by senior management, private funds held by Brait SA and Safika Holdings and with its BEE ownership of 30.51% has been audited by EmpowerDEX and received an AA rating.
