adesso AG / Key word(s): Strategic Company Decision/Investment

18.07.2013 / 11:32

---------------------------------------------------------------------

After adesso AG increased its stake in evu.it GmbH to 100 percent in June
2013, the subsidiary's entire business will be integrated into adesso AG as
of August 1, 2013 as part of an asset deal. evu.it's consulting and
development services for energy and water utilities will become part of
adesso's existing portfolio and form a separate unit, Utilities, within the
company.

The objective of this move is to integrate the long-established experience
and outstanding expertise of evu.it GmbH's professionals and thereby
bolster adesso's offering of SAP-related technologies. The merger will
enable the more efficient exploitation of synergy effects as adesso already
has a number of customers in the energy sector and has worked closely with
evu.it GmbH on several interfaces. The merger means the new unit will be a
single source for evu.it and adesso's portfolio of services, enabling these
to be better tailored to suit clients' requirements in the industry. It
will also be expected to streamline certain processes and so further
improve figures at the Utilities unit vis-à-vis the current performance of
evu.it GmbH.

adesso plans to pool key services for adesso Group and clients within
evu.it GmbH.
