S&T: Major International Contract (E)

Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is
responsible for the content of this announcement.
S&T System Integration & Technology Distribution AG ("S&T", Vienna
Stock Exchange: SNT, NASDAQ Europe: SNTS, OTC: STSQY) has won a major
contract to implement the enterprise planning software MAX+ at the
Polish and Czech subsidiaries of the British industrial group IMI Plc
(IMI). After successful implementation, another 11 Central and East
European countries will follow. S&T won this major international
contract because it is the only company that is represented in all
countries of the region with branches of its own and which develops
and also implements local language versions.
IMI plc is a British industrial group that manufactures beverage
dispensing systems and fluid controls. It employs around 19,000
employees throughout the world and records sales of EUR 2.3 billion.
In Eastern Europe, IMI operates in 20 countries and wishes to
implement new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software in order to
optimise its business processes. Poland and the Czech Republic will
be the first two countries to receive the new software, upon
successful implementation 11 others will follow.
The ERP software MAX+ was developed by SSA Global Technologies (SSA
GT), a leading supplier of enterprise planning software, and is
marketed in Central and Eastern Europe exclusively by S&T. At present
S&T is developing the local language versions and will also be
responsible for their implementation. The new software allows
companies to make improvements in a number of areas, providing for
example, a faster financial information system, optimised production
control and improved customer management.
Other advantages of MAX+ include rapid integration within the
company, low total costs which promises rapid amortisation, as well
as its highly competitive but user-friendly technology.
Karl Tantscher, CEO of S&T: "This order is especially pleasing as it
confirms that S&T's strategy of becoming a leading IT service
provider in the region is the right one. The main factors behind the
decision to award the contract to S&T, were our expertise in the
implementation of enterprise planning software and the existence of
local branches in all the countries of Central and Eastern Europe."
Mike Carbine, Managing Director of IMI-International says, "I am
convinced that the project will be a complete success. After a
careful selection of possible suppliers and preparation time of one
year, we will complete the first phase of implementation in six
months."
