Blue Curve Limited, a leading provider of financial research software solutions to the securities industry, announces that it has signed a multi-year agreement with ABG Sundal Collier for its Blue Curve product suite.

ABG Sundal Collier will integrate several Blue Curve modules with its existing research database to improve its financial research production and distribution process.  The new solution will speed up the process of research report creation, enhance the approval and compliance checking process, and provide more control over the distribution of the published research product. 

Blue Curve was chosen after a rigorous vendor selection process on the basis that the software will provide more functionality, more flexibility and be easier to integrate than other similar products.

Blue Curve Limited will work with ABG Sundal Collier to integrate the Blue Curve software and install it in their Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, London and New York offices.  ABG Sundal Collier will also use Blue Curve for improving other financial document production processes.

Malene Brondberg, Global Head of Research at ABG Sundal Collier commented:

“Functionality, flexibility and ease of integration were important factors in deciding which vendor could help to enhance our existing research production software.  By choosing Blue Curve we feel we can quickly improve our software platform which should provide greater benefits to our business."

Mark Robertson, CEO of Blue Curve Limited added:

“We are delighted that ABG Sundal Collier has chosen Blue Curve v5 to enhance its research production platform.  ABG Sundal Collier was recently voted the number one research firm in the Nordic region in the 2010 Institutional Investor survey, and this relationship provides an important confirmation of Blue Curve’s leading position in the research production market."
