Johannesburg, 02 Oct 2007

MCI Consultants, the exclusive distributor for Bond International Software in South Africa and the largest distributor of staffing software in South Africa, today announced that the Tower Group had implemented Bond International's AdaptRecruitment System application as a way to handle its data more effectively, improve its processing efficiency through integration with its payroll and invoicing systems, and increase the capabilities and competencies of its company by centralising the company's data on a single server.

"We believe AdaptRecruitment is the best system of its kind globally and has been handled professionally in SA for many years by MCI," commented Lynn Frost, MD of Tower Group. "Thus, the choice was a natural one for us to make and we have not been disappointed."

The Tower Group, which operates on a national basis, was originally formed in 1980 as a specialist staffing services consultancy. While it is able to place staff at most levels, the Tower Group has particular expertise in a number of specialist areas, including credit and risk; retail; call centre; office support; finance and accounting; executive and management appointments.

During 2004, Tower sold 26% of its shareholding to Jerry and Doreen Vilakazi of Execuprime, a leading black-owned training and HR organisation, in order to pool talent, skills and expertise to create a new force in the field of staffing, training and HR consulting services. Thus, clients dealing with Tower are thus assured that they are dealing with a business that has the financial strength and track record to deliver significant bottom-line value. Its diversity, as well as its rich pool of skills, empowers them to deliver a real value added service to companies.
