PSI announces adjustments to subsidiary PSI UBIS
Resources in Information Management segment to be bundled
Berlin, 23 February 2004 – Due to the continuing pressure on margins at the
Group’s subsidiary PSI UBIS AG, the PSI Board of Management resolved to
introduce a number of measures aimed at adapting PSI UBIS’s performance to
current market conditions. In order to facilitate more direct management, PSI
UBIS AG is to be transformed into PSI Information Management GmbH, which will
remain a 100% subsidiary of PSI. The cost of the restructuring measures, which
have already been completed, were included in the company’s result for 2003.
Synergies in the Information Management Segment will be utilized by merging
joint functions, including administration, infrastructure and applied research
and development, with the Public Management division.
PSI Information Management GmbH will market the existing project lines (agent
software, portals, product advisor, CRM) as product lines. The new company will
utilize PSI’s control system expertise in the IT Service Company segment, thus
forging a closer link with PSI Group’s core business. PSI Information Management
GmbH will extend its distribution activities to include the established
customer contacts of the PSI divisions, thus profiting from the Group’s unique
selling points in cross-sales activities.
PSI AG develops and integrates individual solutions, on the basis of its own
software, for the management of large networks (electricity, gas, oil,
telecommunications, transport), cross-company production management (steel,
chemicals, machinery, automotive, logistics) and information management for
government and service providers. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,200
persons in the group.
