CompuGROUP Increases Its Involvement in the Hospital Field: Acquisition of
      fliegel data
March  04,  2008:  CompuGROUP  Holding  AG,  a
      leading European eHealth provider located in Koblenz (Germany),  increases
      its involvement in the German hospital market: With the acquisition of all
      shares  in  fliegel  data  GmbH  (Höxter)  as  well  as  in  herbert  dahm
      datensysteme  GmbH  (Düsseldorf)  by  CompuGROUP's   subsidiary,   systema
      Deutschland GmbH, the holding strengthens its  position  in  this  segment
      significantly.
CompuGROUP is now in the process of completing its  product  portfolio  in
      the German hospital and clinic group market  segment.  Together  with  its
      subsidiaries ISPRO (GP portal), Aescudata (ERP and  hospital  pharmacies),
      ifap (pharmacy databases) and vita-X (electronic  patient  record),  which
      are also active in this market segment,  CompuGROUP  is  now  one  of  the
      biggest players in the German market  for  hospital  information  systems.
      Almost every second German hospital  uses  one  of  CompuGROUP's  software
      products. In the European market, the company and its further subsidiaries
      in the hospital information system segment in Austria, Poland, Turkey  and
      the Czech Republic make up the top group of  hospital  information  system
      providers.
Since 1979, fliegel data has  been  developing  the  hospital  information
      system fd-klinika at its company headquarters at Höxter. fd-klinika  is  a
      complete  solution  for  a   total   of   approximately   200   hospitals,
      rehabilitation clinics and nursing homes. It is  also  among  the  leading
      German software solutions. It will be integrated in the product  portfolio
      of systema Deutschland, which specializes  in  both  hospital  information
      systems and  picture  archiving  and  communication  systems  (PACS).  The
      company is headed by Frank Brecher and Dr. Wolrad Rube.

      able to act faster and better in the market in the  future.  Our  products
      are top-notch, and CompuGROUP  provides  our  users  with  the  necessary,
      secure basis in a rapidly developing market." And Brecher  is  pleased  to
      report: "Thanks to the expansion brought about by  fliegel  data,  we  are
      finally among  the  major  players  in  the  German  market  for  hospital
      information systems."
Distribution and customer services of systema's solutions are  handled  by
      the company's regional expert  centers  located  in  Koblenz,  Düsseldorf,
      Berlin and  Hanover.  "The  acquisition  of  fliegel  data  constitutes  a
      strategic investment in the acute care and rehabilitation market  as  well
      as a fundamental step towards becoming Number One in the worldwide eHealth
      market. Our expansion strategy has paid off. We will  continue  to  pursue
      our chosen path consequently and grow further to be able to  provide  even
      more international hospitals and clinic centers with  optimal  solutions,"
      underlines Frank Gotthardt, Director of the Board  of  CompuGROUP  Holding
