COMINO PLC: CONTRACT GAINS
ISE Subsidiary wins local government orders in excess of #2.5m;
Dealings commence on the Official List today
Comino plc ("Comino"), the supplier of software-based business solutions for
the local authority, social housing and pension sectors, whose shares
commenced trading today on the Official List from AIM, announces that, since
January this year, its Leeds-based ISE subsidiary has won new orders from 13
local authorities valued in excess of #2.5m.
The orders are for ISE's market leading workflow software product for Revenue
and Benefits. These include the first two customers secured in Scotland and
significant orders from Kingston Upon Hill City Council, North Lincolnshire
Council and Slough Borough Council.
The orders come at a time when the recent government White paper "Modernising
Government" is demanding ambitious time scales for the electronic provision of
public services.
Comino's Chief Executive, Garth Selvey, said: "The government has recognised
that IT is core to its plans. These new orders are evidence that our
customers recognise ISE as ahead of the game in having product available now
that not only supports 'Best Value' initiatives but also provides the platform
for implementing the government's plans."
ISE is the fastest growing company within Comino plc and a leading supplier of
workflow, EDM and call centre technology to pension schemes, the local
government and social housing.
Editor's notes:
1. The new orders follow contract gains announced on 26 April worth #750,000
from Swale Housing Association in which it will work in partnership to
create the infrastructure for a responsive, customer focused service and
on 10 May to provide call centre technology to Wychaven and Malvern
Hills District Councils.
2. ISE's origins lie in electronic document management, in which it has
installed many high performance, volume systems. Its recent success
is attributable to 'Workflow' software which allows organisations to
define businesses processes and systematically ensure their timely
completion.
