Mondas PLC 26 September 2006 RNS Release Embargoed until 07.00 on 26 September 2006 Mondas plc ('Mondas') Mondas signs Charles Stanley Securities for Blue Curve. Mondas, the AIM listed Financial Markets software specialist has secured an order to supply Charles Stanley Securities ('Charles Stanley') with its market leading Blue Curve research management software solution. The contract is for the supply of licences, professional services, hosting and support fees, where, subject to acceptance, the majority of the licence and services revenues will fall in this financial year. Mondas will provide Charles Stanley with the majority of Blue Curve's modules, consisting of its insight, create, process and reach products that will facilitate the production and distribution of Charles Stanley research products. In addition, this is the first time that Mondas will provide a fully managed hosting service in the UK which is expected to reduce the operational cost and allow the software to be used over the Internet. Charles Stanley expects the software to allow them to improve customer service, gain significant production efficiencies and to quickly expand the range and complexity of their research offerings.
