TeliaSonera's subsidiary Cygate acquires Avansys

Cygate, a TeliaSonera subsidiary specialising in systems integration, is
acquiring Avansys AB in Sweden for SEK 120 million (enterprise value). The
acquisition will strengthen Cygate in the business communications area with
services such as server management, data storage and security services.


“Our business customers are increasingly demanding complete communications
solutions, which puts heavier demands on our competence within telecommunication
related systems integration services,” says Juho Lipsanen, Head of Business
Services at TeliaSonera. “Cygate's acquisition of Avansys will strengthen us
further in this area.”

The transaction requires the approval of the Swedish Competition Authority.

“Avansys's expertise and experience will create value for our customers, who
will now gain access to a broader range of system integration services,” says
Bengt Lundgren, CEO of Cygate. “Avansys's strong presence in the fast-growing
Öresund region (eastern Denmark and southern Sweden) will make us a market
leader in the area.”

Avansys AB, established in 1999, currently has 85 employees. The company
operates from offices in Malmö, Helsingborg and Kristianstad, Sweden, and had
sales of SEK 177 million during 2006/2007 (split financial year). Over the past
three years of operation, Avansys's sales growth has averaged approximately 13
percent annually. Cygate will use the Avansys brand during a transition period.

“Cygate enjoys a fine reputation in system integration and we are convinced that
the acquisition will be positive for our customers and our employees,” says
Pelle Svensson, CEO of Avansys AB.  

Since TeliaSonera acquired Cygate at the end of 2006, the company has operated
as an independent subsidiary of the TeliaSonera Group. In 2007, Cygate purchased
the Swedish systems integrator Dimension Data Sverige whose personnel and
operations were successfully integrated with Cygate's business within a very
short period of time. Cygate operates from 16 locations in Sweden and Finland
today.
