Press Release Summary: ABAS Software, a leading provider of cost-effective ERP and
eBusiness solutions, announces that IT services provider, Sicom AG, and Wöfle GmbH,
a systems supplier for cabin production, have both selected abas Business Software
to run their business processes. Both agreements were reached at the ongoing
Hannover Fair, which runs through Friday, April 25.

Press Release Body: Adjustable ease convinces Sicom to choose abas.
Sicom offers a wide range of IT services, from data security and data protection, to
terminal technology and the linking of subsidiaries to virtual office locations.
\"Our legacy system was no longer able to depict our highly-specialized processes,
nor satisfy our data protection procedures,\" remarks Jürgen Schuler, Managing
Director.

This led Sicom to search for a new system at the close of 2006. After researching
online and walking the trade shows, several providers were invited to present their
systems. In the end, Sicom voted in favor of abas Business Software. "The system's
adjustability impressed us most. After some training we will be able to do most of
the adjustments ourselves. The service competence offered through implementation
partner ABAS Informationssysteme also convinced us to go with abas."

ABAS's strong relationship with Linux also played a role in Sicom's selection of
abas Business Software. Though platform-independent, approximately 80% of all
installations to-date are on Linux. "We are very impressed with the performance and
stability of the \"penguin operating system,\" continues Schuler, "this was another
plus for ABAS, the Linux pioneer.\"

Sicom is also hoping to gain from the integration of its internal ticket system and
JPM software with abas. A shortcoming of the previous solution was its lack of
transparency i.e. manual transfers from one system to another resulted in repeated
errors. Going forward with abas, data will be entered just once―eliminating
errors, as well as saving time.

Wölfle wanted a system that would let it expand abroad.
As its prior ERP system reached its limit, Wölfle embarked on the search for a
replacement system that could easily and quickly adjust to its changing business
environment, including an ongoing expansion both within Germany and abroad.
Important aspects in the selection process were flexibility, multilingualism and a
system that would guarantee further expansion, while still maintaining Wölfle's high
standards of quality. Wölfle found exactly what it was looking for in abas. The
system will be implemented for 150 users by software partner, ABAS
Informationssysteme.

Wölfle is a midsize company specialized in the supply of systems for cabin
production. Its extensive product range varies from cabin module and includes
wiring systems, complete electrical systems, electronic displays and control
systems, vehicle heaters and air conditioning, protection ventilation and dust
filter systems for fully trimmed and plug-finished cabins.
