Ashade declared that the product is a password-driven, e-mail-enabled Three-in-One Package (3iOP), which is tailor-made to address the needs of shareholders, stockbrokers and client-companies.

The product also enables client-companies to have direct access to UBA Registrars' data base on-line, via the web.
