NEW YORK, 2013-04-16 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced that its Global
Corporate Solutions business was selected by the Scottish Government to provide
a range of media services to the wider Scottish public sector. The Scottish
Government is the first government organization to recognize the service and
financial benefits to be gained by using the Scottish Public Sector Media
Services Framework. The new solutions framework to be designed by NASDAQ OMX,
which will be available in April 2013, will offer a range of media services
designed to achieve economies of scale through collaboration across the public
sector. The new service will be available to approximately 200 public sector
bodies in Scotland. 

As a leader in modern government centralized procurement, the Scottish
Government will use NASDAQ OMX's solution to allow users to monitor print,
broadcast, online news or social media, as well as utilize a news distribution
service, branded social media newsroom and a more efficient evaluation service.
The new services will also make it easier for the media and the public to
access information and download material from desktop or mobile devices. NASDAQ
OMX is partnering with Precise Media Group to provide full scale services. 

Demetrios Skalkotos, Senior Vice President, NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions
commented: 'The Scottish Government should be commended for their forward
thinking approach regarding stakeholder services and communication. The Media
Services Framework supported by NASDAQ OMX will greatly enhance their services,
and allow them to better communicate with and service their key stakeholders.
We encourage other public bodies in Scotland to adopt similar strategies and we
look forward to working with them.'
