TWO NORTH EAST COMPANIES SEAL SIX-FIGURE DEAL

Codify, a software solutions company based in Aberdeen, today announces a major contract worth in the region of £500,000 to build a bespoke software system using the latest Microsoft Dynamics CRM technology for Freelance World. The deal signifies a period of growth for Codify as the company is poised to add an extra floor to their current office in Queens Terrace and create 5 new positions this year to bring the team to 30. The investment in operations by Freelance World - who provide business support services to global clients' operating on a contract basis throughout the world - will streamline business processes and allow the company to acquire new clients.

Codify has signed an agreement with Freelance World to design and build a business system using Microsoft Dynamics CRM to co-ordinate many functions from sales through to operations and accounts. This latest contract win adds to a string of successes for Codify and represents the firm's growing reputation in the north east as a leading provider of customised software solutions to businesses across many different industries.

Mark Griffiths, managing director of Codify says, "This deal marks a significant milestone in Codify's continuing growth as a key provider of innovative software solutions and highlights our expertise in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. We are on target for achieving record turnover this year and will be expanding further over the coming months. Securing this new contract with Freelance World highlights our capabilities in delivering a comprehensive software system to a company's own unique requirements."

Alasdair McGill, managing director of Freelance World says, "We are delighted to be working with a likeminded, dynamic company to deliver a crucial element of our expansion plans.

"We challenged Codify to implement a software solution that would enable us to streamline our operations for existing clients and which also had the flexibility built in to cope as we acquire new freelance contractors in the UK and worldwide. We're also delighted to be implementing a solution based on Microsoft technology – a trusted brand that anyone in the world will be familiar with."
