Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Vienna, 26th August 2003 - S&T System Integration & Technology
Distribution AG ("S&T"; Vienna Stock Exchange: SNT; OTC: STSQY), a
leading provider of IT services in Central, Eastern and Southern
Europe, has received a follow-up order for server and storage
infrastructure from long-standing customer UMC (Ukrainian Mobile
Communications). This order represents a continuation of the
successful partnership between UMC, the leading mobile communications
provider in Ukraine, and S&T.Due to rapid growth, UMC needed to increase its data management capacity in order to ensure absolute reliability, flexibility and uninterrupted operations.
S&T will implement a high-performance server (HP 9000 Superdome) and in this connection also expand UMC's storage capacity with a three terabyte solution. For illustration: Printed pages containing three terabytes of data lined up page per page would go around the world 7.5 times. S&T's bid was successful because it was the most comprehensive and was perfectly tailored to the needs of the customer. The new storage solution provided by S&T meets the highest safety requirements and will also enable UMC to reduce its operating costs.
S&T CEO Karl Tantscher is extremely pleased: "UMC has been an S&T customer for many years now. In addition to planning and supplying IT infrastructure, we have a number of long-term maintenance and service agreements for mission critical applications with the company. We are pleased that UMC has once again chosen S&T and regard this project as yet another confirmation of our business strategy and competence as a leading supplier of IT solutions in Central and Eastern Europe."
