it has acquired the Austrian ICT specialist Sapphir (Sapphir IT & Consulting
GmbH). Sapphir is a SAP consultancy specialist with 20 employees and an annual
revenue of 2,5 million euro. The acquisition contributes directly to the revenue
per share.
René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: 'Virtually every modern service or product is
equipped with digital information carriers and has innumerable users who share
information. As a strong partner of world-market leaders IBM, SAP and Microsoft
Imtech can translate these data into valuable information for manufacturers,
consumers, authorities and services providers. The acquisition of Sapphir
strengthens our position in the ICT market in Austria and to a limited extent in
Romania. An excellent basis for further growth.'
Sapphir profile
Sapphir is a specialised SAP consultancy company, founded in 1998, and based in
Vienna and Graz (Austria) and Bucharest (Romania). Apart from the SAP
consultancy business the company is also providing managed services (including
application management and infrastructure management) and SAP products. On the
basis of SAP, Sapphir offers all-in-one solutions for administration processes
for infrastructure projects of electricity providers, motorway and train
operators, etc. For small and medium-sized services providers Sapphir provides

industry-specific SAP solutions for sales and project controlling.
Synergy
Sapphir will become part of ILS / Imtech ICT Austria, with 225 employees one of
the largest ICT services providers in Austria also active in Eastern Europe.
Sapphir is an excellent addition in this respect and also has a substantial
complementary customer base. Consequently, cross-selling between customers and
sharing SAP services will lead to additional growth. The same applies to the
larger scale. Strategically Imtech wishes to expand its business to Romania.
From this point of view, the acquisition also offers further opportunities.
Finally, higher efficiency - among other things in the areas of housing and
administrative organization - leads to substantially lower costs.
