world leading provider of network software and services, today announced that it
has signed an agreement to acquire IP Devel SRL. The acquisition of IP Devel

for 2007 were approximately EUR 4 million. Enea is, since 2006, one of IP

customers. We thoroughly know IP Devels' top expertise in embedded technology
and are thus very pleased with the acquisition”, says Johan Wall, CEO and
president, Enea. “With IP Devel we grow Enea's professional services offer in
Europe. With the acquisition we also secure Enea's, and our customers', future
development capacity in a low cost environment.”

“Enea is the world leader in embedded solutions and IP Devel is specialized in
the development of embedded technology and testing of such systems. We are a
perfect match”, says Bogdan Putinica, founder of IP Devel, who stays on as
managing director. “With IP Devel's strong customer base of leading
international telecom customers we strengthen Enea's European services offer.” 

Enea acquires 100 percent of the shares in IP Devel for EUR 3.2 million in cash
at closing, with an additional payment after four years based on the financial
performance of IP Devel. Sellers are Adecco, the world leader in HR Services (76
