Government Contracts

Möglingen (euro adhoc) - USU AG has been awarded the contract for a
project placed out to bid throughout Europe by the German Federal
Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit). The purpose of the
project is to implement a system for transparent management of all
the agency's 160,000 PC workstations and their components in use
throughout Germany by means of standard software. In addition to
deploying and maintaining the USU software products Valuemation Asset
Manager, Service Request Manager and Contract Manager as well as the
SmartTrack software from the USU subsidiary Aspera, the scope of the
project also includes comprehensive service packages for support,
customization, implementation, further development and upgrades. The
overall value of the contract is in the mid-seven figures. The new
IT-based technical inventory management system will permit
comprehensive control and tracking of all IT assets over their entire
lifecyles. The objective is to ensure automated and transparent
monitoring of all processes involving IT assets: from planning, to
procurement and implementation, and on down to eventual disposal. The
project will start in the middle of April 2012 and is to be completed
in phases within twelve months.

USU will provide the Federal Employment Agency (FEA) with a
barrier-free, fully integrated overall system for managing its
inventory of assets for information and communications technology
(ICT). This new system will replace the existing COBRA-IM-IT
inventory management system. In addition to supporting preliminary
activities for procurement management, USU's standard solution also
allows assignment of all cost and contract information to IT assets
throughout their lifecyles. This solution also includes management of
intangible assets, particularly software licenses. Furthermore, IT
financial management at the FEA will benefit by always having the
latest inventory data available to it. The resulting standardized
data records will thus allow necessary information to be readily
provided to the Valuemation modules for cost accounting/performance
analysis, IT calculations, budgeting and financial planning.

"We´re pleased that the Federal Employment Agency, Germany´s largest
government agency, is deploying Valuemation as the centralized system
for managing its IT assets. This current project is one of the
largest European IT asset and license management projects ever
undertaken by USU. This contract is yet another important milestone
in the history of USU and once again demonstrates the high level of
trust in the technology, expertise as well as service and support
available from USU," stressed Sven Wilms, the Member of the Board of
Management for Business Service Management at USU AG.
