Acquisition of Shares in Gruber ÄDV and Takeover of ACP IT SolutionsNovember 12, 2007: CompuGROUP Holding AG, a
leading European provider of eHealth solutions, reports the expansion of
its presence in the growing Austrian healthcare field: With the
acquisition of the majority of shares in Gruber ÄDV GmbH (Enns) and the
takeover of ACP IT Solutions GmbH (both suppliers of information systems
for doctors), CompuGROUP strengthens its position in this market segment
significantly. Thus CompuGROUP is now represented in Austria via four
companies, together with systema Human Information Systems GmbH, a
provider of information systems for hospitals, and HCS Health
Communication Service GmbH.Meanwhile, ACP IT Solutions GmbH has been renamed medXpert GmbH. With its
Profimed and medXpert products, ACP looks back on a success story of more
than 20 years during which the company supported doctors in governmental
healthcare. ACP's complete integration with CompuGROUP under a new name
constitutes an excellent basis for meeting the challenges of the Austrian
healthcare system with its comprehensive portfolio of successful
networking products and services. Now medXPert can offer its customers
their optimal integration in a continuous information workflow ranging
from the healthcare system's doctor to the clinic and vice versa.For more than 30 years, Gruber ÄDV has been a reliable partner in the
field of medical services with its premium products. The company's
management will remain in the capable hands of Wolfgang Gruber, while
Hans-
Joachim Gruber will continue to manage the software development
department. The company accompanies the current changes in the Austrian
healthcare system with its customized, high-quality software-solutions.
Particularly the Austrian private doctors' increasing demand for
information systems for doctors is perfectly met with the respective
innovative products."The partnership with CompuGROUP creates completely new perspectives for
our company. Our integration with the networking strategy of Europe's
leading full service provider of eHealth solutions, based on a versatile
product portfolio, gives us the power to continue writing our success
story," emphasizes Wolfgang Gruber, CEO of ÄDV."I am absolutely convinced that we have made a strong entry into the
Austrian market for information systems for doctors with this step. As in
any other country in which we operate, a strong presence when dealing with
doctors in Austrian governmental healthcare is the fundament of all
further successes. With their highly motivated teams and innovative
products, Gruber ÄDV and medXPert are optimally positioned to meet the
changes in Austria's healthcare system," underlines Uwe Eibich, one of
