Agreement Signed

MONDAS PLC 5 August 1999 Mondas signs new agreement to supply intranet and Internet software to the Norwegian Local Government market Mondas plc ('Mondas'), the e-business and financial sector software specialists, announced at its AGM today that it has signed an agreement with Ephorma AS, the Norwegian software house created after the merger between Telenor, the Norwegian PTT, and Posten SDS, the Norwegian Post Office. The agreement, which guarantees Mondas a minimum of £136,000 in the first eight months, is to supply two new software components specially developed for the Local Government marketplace in Norway Ephorma's strategy is to offer a range of solutions which facilitate internal information production and publishing via an intranet as well as providing an easy method for local citizens to access information, contact their local authority and process applications, tax forms etc. via the Internet. Mondas and Ephorma are now market leaders in the provision of intranet solutions to the Norwegian Local Government market. This agreement extends the March 1997 agreement between Telenor and Mondas' subsidiary, Reality Communications AS and provides Ephorma with exclusive rights to sell to the Local Government sector, the 'Forum Infotorg' version of Mondas' product, Intralink ST, and its two new components, News Publishing and Internet Publishing. Forum Infotorg has been installed by 8 Norwegian local authorities. Commenting on the deal, Tim Simon, chairman of Mondas, said: 'This new deal with Ephorma is another great step forward for Mondas which, once again, demonstrates how we can successfully combine our skills with our intranet and workflow technologies. The agreement guarantees us a minimum income of £136,000 over the next eight months. The potential revenue to Mondas will depend on Ephorma's actual sales of the solutions plus support and implementation costs and we are optimistic that it will be more than the minimum.' Notes to the Editors News Publishing allows those authorised users of the intranet to submit news items through an authorisation process for eventual automated publication to the Local Government intranet.
