Blue Curve Limited, a leading provider of financial research software solutions to the securities industry, announces that it has signed an agreement to licence its Blue Curve product suite to Argo Securities in Norway, part of the SpareBank 1 alliance. 

Blue Curve Limited will work with Argo Securities to configure and install the software throughout the firm’s financial research department in Oslo. The new solution will provide Argo Securities with an improved research production process, including financial data management and automated document production.

This follows on from the recent news that Blue Curve has acquired US-based financial research software provider Jovus Inc., for up to $1.75m, and that Alfa Bank (Russian’s leading private bank) has licensed Blue Curve’s research production platform.

Kim Evjenth, Head of Research at Argo Securities commented:

“Having reviewed the market for such products, we felt that Blue Curve offered the best solution and the most competitive commercial offer.  We’re a fast-growing firm and aim to offer an exceptional service to our clients.  That’s why we need good software to support our growth whilst maintaining efficiency and quality.”

Mark Robertson, CEO of Blue Curve Limited, added:

“We’re very pleased that Argo Securities has chosen Blue Curve as their new research production platform ahead of other commercial offerings.  Our work over the last few years to position Blue Curve as the most advanced and best supported platform for financial research is certainly starting to pay off.”
