Change in company name is an important step during integration of the
subsidiaries


Martinsried, August 4th, 2006 – SHS Informationssysteme AG has taken an
important step for the integration of the subsidiaries SHS Systech Software
GmbH and VIVEON AG, both acquired in recent months. With the registration
in the Commercial Registry on August 3rd, 2006 the company now operates
under the name SHS VIVEON AG. With this, the integration of the acquired
subsidiaries, which is running at full steam, also becomes visible for the
outside. As of now, the solution, product and consulting competencies in
the field of customer risk and customer value management will be bundled
under the parent company SHS VIVEON AG. “The integration of each single
subsidiary is the logical consequence of the take-overs. Herewith we can
advise our customers from one source throughout the entire value chain.
Further, we are creating the base for the realization of inter-company
synergies”, explains CEO Dirk Roesing the latest actions. “Our future
company structure is adapted to market requirements. Thereby, we can even
better deliver outstanding product and consulting services in the area of
customer management.”

Part of the integration measures is also the rebranding of the entire
company group. In future, besides a new company appearance and new company
logo, the products will be marketed under a unified umbrella brand name. At
the same time the processes and responsibilities within the group will be
redefined and decision processes will be shortened. The brand change of the
existing subsidiaries, expected in the coming weeks, supports a unified
appearance towards the customers. The management has estimated approx. 0.2
mill € for the integration measures, which should be successfully completed
by the end of the year. Thus, the SHS VIVEON AG will be able to benefit to
the fullest from the market opportunities in the area of the customer risk
and customer value management.
