IBS signs agreement with German pharmaceutical distributor

IBS has signed an agreement with a pharmaceutical distributor in Germany
regarding the installation of IBS software for pharmaceutical distribution - IBS
Pharma. The agreement includes software, services and hardware with a total
order value of 
SEK 8.2 m (EUR 880,000). 

The agreement with a private pharmaceutical distributor in Germany is the third
new customer agreement within the pharmaceutical industry during 2007 in the
German market.

”During the year, we have signed several deals with new customers within the
pharmaceutical distribution industry in the important German market. We have a
positive view of the German speaking market for the future, not the least within
the industries where we have the ambition to be one of the leading business
software vendors,” says Erik Heilborn, CEO and President for IBS.

The new agreement covers a medium-sized installation of IBS Pharma with modules
including distribution, warehouse management, returns handling, RF handling,
financials, business intelligence and integration. The new business system is
planned to go live at the end of 2008. 

With the system, the customer will be able to automate important business
processes handling very high transaction volumes with solid performance and
reliability as well as handling all current and future legal requirements
regarding traceability and reporting. Other customer requirements include
flexibility of the software in order to meet changed needs in the future.
