Company Information/Certification

Möglingen (euro adhoc) - For more than ten years, the internationally
recognized and well-integrated Valuemation product line from USU AG
has impressed the market with its preconfigured best practices based
on the ITIL® standard. This confidence has been demonstrated once
again by the successful certification of the latest version,
Valuemation 4.2, by both the APM Group Ltd. and Glenfis AG, the
licensed assessor and partner of the APM Group (APMG) for Europe.

The experts at Glenfis AG conducted a thorough, detailed product
review of the Valuemation software suite. During this examination,
Valuemation was checked for compliance with the basic requirements of
the British Office of Government Commerce (OGC) as well as the APMG
function chart. Its ability to meet additional implementation and
practical-usage requirements was also investigated. These
comprehensive reviews confirmed the following: Valuemation fully
meets the strict international accreditation standards established by
the APM Group.

"This certification gives our existing and potential customers
additional security and extra peace of mind since they know that the
conformance of Valuemation´s core service management processes with
ITIL® standards and its support for them have been confirmed by
independent experts," said Sven Wilms, Executive Vice President at
USU AG.

The ITIL® certification was issued for a total of ten core IT service
management processes: incident management, problem management, change
management, release management, service asset and configuration
management, finance management, service catalogue management, service
portfolio management, request fulfillment and knowledge management.
In this context, the knowledge-management discipline is covered by
the product USU KnowledgeCenter 5.4.

In 2009, Valuemation 3.6 - in conjunction with USU KnowledgeCenter
4.8 and ZIS System 5.3 - was already attested to have the highest
level of ITIL® compliance as per ITIL® v2 und ITIL® v3 by the team of
ITIL® experts at Pink Elephant, the highly regarded American provider
of ITIL® consulting and certification services.

The APM Group Ltd is a leading accreditation, certification and
examination body with worldwide recognition. As part of its strategic
partnership with the British Office of Government Commerce (OGC) the
APM Group also issues licenses granting the use of OGC trademarks,
which include the one for ITIL®. The IT Infrastructure Library
(ITIL®) is a collection of best practices that describe the most
effective approaches to IT service management and represents the de
facto international standard in this area.
