AC-Service Closes Deals Worth Millions
Full-scale SAP implementations. Over EUR 4 million in total order volume.
Stuttgart, 7 April 2008 – AC-Service AG, Stuttgart, the IT full service
provider with the leading position in the German-language SAP midmarket
segment, has garnered two orders that together are valued at over EUR 4
million. The two deals involve SAP projects for the clients SQS Software
Quality Systems AG, Cologne, and Bruker BioSpin GmbH, Rheinstetten, which
will be implemented by AC-Service’s subsidiary All for One Midmarket
Solutions & Services GmbH, Stuttgart.
SQS is the world’s largest provider of software quality management services
and employs a staff of about 1,000 people. Bruker BioSpin, which belongs to
the Nasdaq-listed Bruker Group, is home to about 3,500 employees and
specialises in magnetic resonance technologies. Both full-scale SAP
implementations will span several of these two customers’ domestic and
foreign companies and locations and will include software licenses,
industry solutions, consulting services and more.
Following what continues to be a rapidly progressing realignment to become
an SAP full service provider, AC-Service recently announced sales of EUR
78.1 million (+25%), not including its discontinued ACCURAT division, for
the financial year 2007. Sales for 2008 are expected to be in the
neighbourhood of from EUR 82 million to EUR 85 million.
