The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– DCI AG taps new lucrative market segment Conrad Electronic GmbH decides in favour of DCI TradeManager Starnberg, Germany – 12 December 2001. A strategic contract in the mail-order segment paves the way for DCI AG to tap a new, lucrative market. Conrad Electronic GmbH, Europe’s largest mail-order company for electronic equipment and consumer electronics, has decided to deploy DCI TradeManager as its catalogue software solution. DCI AG sees the move as convincing proof-of-concept for its TradeManager solution, and is confident that it will send a strong message to other mail-order companies. DCI AG anticipates a strong increase in revenue from this segment in fiscal year 2002. The electronic mail-order catalogue sector is a strategic win for DCI AG in view of the size of this market. The German mail-order market alone is worth some 42 billion German Marks a year and key players on the German market are set to help shape the global e-market of the future. Conrad Electronic GmbH will use DCI TradeManager to electronically distribute its entire portfolio (some 50,000 articles) to its customers on a CD. The DCI TradeManager (Catalogue Viewer) gives the user a single, standardised view of different catalogues and their contents. The standardisation of catalogue content presents interesting cross-selling opportunities among mail-order companies. The DCI TradeManager is targeted at both the business-to-business and business- to-consumer markets. First introduced in 1993, the current version (Version 8.1) reflects a host of ongoing improvements and enhancements. end of ad-hoc-announcement (c)DGAP 12.12.2001 ——————————————————————————– WKN: 529 530; ISIN: DE0005295307; Index: Listed: Neuer Markt in Frankfurt; Freiverkehr in Berlin, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, München und Stuttgart 122034 Dez 01
