PRESS RELEASE

      CompuGROUP strengthens its involvement in the growth markets of eastern       and south-eastern Europe

      Coblenz/Vienna - 19th October 2007: CompuGROUP Holding AG, a leading       European provider of E-health solutions, is expanding its business in       further growth markets: in order to establish an effective unit for       penetration of the E-health markets in Austria, Switzerland, Hungary,       Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia and       Greece, CompuGROUP CEE has been formed, which will be based in Vienna. The       new company will function as a complete E-health supplier, offering       innovative software products to all those involved in healthcare, and will       be run by its two managing directors - Willibald Salomon and Hannes       Reichl.

      The health care systems in eastern and south-eastern Europe are currently       undergoing great change. Both in the most recent new EU member states of       Romania and Bulgaria as well as in potential EU candidate states such as       Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia, structures for nationwide care are       beginning to develop in the healthcare economy. CompuGROUP views the       action of supporting these new healthcare systems from the outset with       efficiency-enhancing E-health solutions as representing a logical step,       through which the best possible standard of medical care can be made       available to a broad section of the population.

      As far as product policy in concerned, CompuGROUP CEE has initially       allocated top priority to the comprehensive introduction of electronic       patient medical records within its area of operation. Furthermore, with       respect to the product and service portfolio as well as particularly       concerning the networking strategy, the company will utilise the synergies       in various ways that result from its relationship to the parent company       CompuGROUP Holding AG.

      "At the  heart  of  the  CompuGROUP  vision  lies  the  networking  at  an       international level of all those involved in healthcare. With the  aid  of       high performance IT systems, the process of integrating all sectors within       healthcare is greatly simplified. The broad product portfolio, as well  as       the immense pool of expertise that exists within CompuGROUP, enable us  to       address the full spectrum within the healthcare  system.  This  simplifies       market entry into eastern European countries , where, in parallel  to  the       implementation  of  IT  solutions  for  health  professionals,  networking       projects are also initiated," explains managing director Hannes Reichl.

      "Providing young or newly emerging  healthcare  systems  with  appropriate       electronic tools from the  outset,  in  order  to  be  able  to  build  up       structures for a lastingly affordable  system  of  medical  care  that  is       accessible to everyone, represents both a challenge and a mission to us. I       firmly believe that the new company CompuGROUP CEE will spiritedly succeed       in fully tapping the attractive market potential  in  eastern  and  south-       eastern Europe, and thus write its own success  story,"  emphasises  Frank       Gotthardt, Chairman of CompuGROUP Holding AG.
