Bond Continues to Expand with the Hiring of New V.P. of Sales and Marketing for the Americas; Paul Beekman to Focus on Increasing Staffing-Software Leader's Market Share.

RICHMOND, Va. -- As part of a wide-ranging move to increase market share in the U.S., Canada and Latin America, global staffing-software leader Bond International Software has hired Paul Beekman as its vice president of sales and marketing for those regions.

The global software company, whose acquisition of eEmpACT last year made it the world-wide leader in staffing and recruiting software, reported substantial increases in sales, profits and earnings for 2005. It continues this growth trend with the hiring of Beekman, who was national sales director for Bell Atlantic/DecisionOne and has also held senior sales management positions with Xerox, IBM and Unisys.

"We're delighted to have someone of Paul's caliber on the Bond team," says Bond U.S. president and CEO David Read. "We believe his experience and marketing expertise will help us increase our presence in the Americas to match the growth we've achieved in other parts of the world."

Beekman, who joined Bond on May 9, has already formulated an aggressive 12-month plan to expand the company's markets in the Americas, starting with the U.S.

"I'm very excited to be with such a dynamic company," says Beekman, who is based at the company's U.S. headquarters in Richmond, Va. "Despite the considerable success Bond has achieved in the past year, the potential for further growth is enormous."

Bond's enterprise product, Adapt, is the leading staffing software solution for large companies and currently represents eight of the world's top 10 staffing firms. The latest version, V.11, is even more robust and functional than earlier ones and includes an ever-growing list of completely integrated front- and back-office capabilities.
