Mr. Bogers – manager of group finances at the Munich-based IT consulting firm since January 2001 – subsequently succeeds previous finance director Adrian Taciulescu in his corporate activity. Mr. Taciulescu, who established the basis for the company”s growth with a consistent orientation on profitability, continues in his role as an executive board member, and in the future will concentrate exclusively on the further integration of the Spanish subsidiary firm POLAR. An important phase of the reorganisation and integration process of recent years has been reached with the new staffing of the finances sector and the formation of an executive board portfolio for the integration of the Spanish subsidiary firm. The respective portfolios will be strengthened, and the staffing prerequisites for the group”s long-term, invested growth are thus set in motion with this expansion of the executive board. With Chris Bogers an internationally experienced finance specialist assumes the central responsibility of finance director. Among other things, the 34 year-old qualified graduate in business management and M.B.A./C.P.A. also contributes extensive experience in consolidated group auditing, financial accounting, group finances and controlling with several international concerns from his more than ten years of activity in the financial department sector. In addition, he has sound expertise in international financial accounting (IAS) stemming from his employment with an international auditing company. Before joining the SHS AG he was responsible as vice president at one of the leading firms in the fortification and demolition technology segment in Liechtenstein for consolidated group auditing, and also for projects in the international finances field as well as lastly the development of corporate-wide IT strategy. Chris Bogers sees his foremost responsibilities in the enhancement of profit performance with simultaneous growth of the group. For Dr. Stefan Möller, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of SHS Information Systems AG, “this decision is one of the central steps in a series of measures which have already been implemented in order to consistently prepare the entire company – internally as well as externally – for the continuously increasing requirements of the market”. The SHS AG”s claim – to become the number one IT service provider in Europe – is thus underscored as a result of these actions. According to Dr. Möller, “with these far-reaching changes clients as well as shareholders and the SHS AG themselves will profit”. With the new staffing of the financial department the executive board of the SHS Information Systems AG consists of the following members: Dr. Stefan Möller is Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Richard Heinrich pursues the function of operative chairman, Mr. Adrian Taciulescu manages the Spanish subsidiary firm and Chris Bogers assumes the financial department. ________________________________________________________________________ Background Information SHS at a glance: The internationally active SHS Information Systems AG is among the leading consulting firms for Information Technology (IT) on the European market.
