 Several hundred thousands of euros in license revenue plus
substantial service contracts for Intershop
 Comprehensive expansion of Internet activities planned

Jena (Germany), August 15, 2008 – Deutsche Messe AG, Germany's best-known
and internationally extremely successful exhibition company, is to
completely redesign and significantly expand the functionality of its
Internet presence based on Intershop's Enfinity Suite 6.
The modern tradeshow portal will be available not only to all subsidiaries,
but also for online presentations by individual exhibitors. It will use
almost the entire array of standard Enfinity Suite 6 functions, including
e-commerce transactions, comfortable content maintenance, and localization
as well as the integration of external catalogue content and existing IT
systems, internationalization, and globalization. The system will offer
maximum failsafe protection and will be constantly expanded once it is
launched, both regionally and in terms of its functionality.
Intershop will play a key role in the implementation project and will be
responsible for long-term operational support for the tradeshow portal.
'After a thorough evaluation, we are convinced that we have found a
standard solution with Enfinity Suite 6 that will meet our requirements to
a significant extent,' says Marcus Eibach, Divisional Manager, Marketing
for Deutsche Messe AG.
