CONTEMPORARY plc., one of SAP UK's leading BusinessObjects partners, which
is headquartered in Ascot, by its Reading-based British subsidiary
itelligence UK, retroactive to April 1, 2011. This acquisition represents a
significant expansion in the range of services offered by itelligence in

can count well-known companies such The Royal British Legion, Norfolk
Constabulary, and Hobbycraft among its customers.
Stefan Ellerbrake, Director of Western Europe for itelligence AG: 'Business

of CONTEMPORARY we make a significant step in this direction in one of our
most important European IT-service markets.'
In 2010, itelligence UK acquired the successful SAP consulting company
Chelford Ltd. With around 90 employees, itelligence UK is already one of
the most important SAP consulting companies in the UK today, offering a
broad range of industry solutions and a comprehensive selection of services
encompassing everything from license sales and consulting to implementation

Justin Brading, Managing Director of itelligence UK: 'The acquisition of
CONTEMPORARY is a significant step for itelligence in the UK market.
Business Analytics is one of the strongest growth areas for SAP, and
CONTEMPORARY have been one of the principle partners here. With around 100
new customers, itelligence UK has enormous potential to fulfil its unique
ability to offer the full range of products and services across the SAP
portfolio.'
David Whitehead, Co-Founder of CONTEMPORARY says that: 'After 20 years
growing the CONTEMPORARY business this acquisition by itelligence with its
global brand and reach provides unequalled potential to develop the
business in the long term. This will give our staff an excellent
opportunity to develop their careers as well as providing all of our
customers with an extended range of services and the backing of a strong
support infrastructure.'
'I am excited to have the opportunity to work with itelligence', says Andy
Steer, former Managing Director of CONTEMPORARY, 'The CONTEMPORARY team
will provide itelligence UK with the expertise to deliver innovative
Business Analytics solutions.'
