ESPOO, Finland, Oct. 18, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Certain TietoEnator (Other OTC:TCYBF) units in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands have been transferred from Business Area Telecom & Media to Business Areas Banking & Finance and Public & Healthcare.

As a whole, the units in question generate net sales of approximately EUR 30 million annually and employ some 240 people.
