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.
