Berlin/Augsburg, Germany, 19 October 2006 – Beta Systems Software AG (Prime Standard: BSS on the German stock exchange), provider of software products and solutions for securely and efficiently processing large volumes of data, announced today that its Enterprise Content Management (ECM) business unit has moved to the city center of Augsburg. The company is now operating from its new offices at Huebnerstrasse 3. The move underlines Beta Systems' commitment to Augsburg as an important operational center.

The Augsburg-based document management competence center, with its team of 280 staff, develops and markets technologies for electronically capturing, managing, storing, and making available documents for industry sectors including banking, insurance, public authorities, commerce, and services. The ECM business unit operates in what is currently a growth market, and in 2005 it accounted for about 50 per cent of Beta Systems' total revenues. Beta Systems develops the majority of its ECM product range in Augsburg and most of its sales, support, and project management operations are managed from there.

“For our team in Augsburg, the move opens a new chapter of dynamic business growth. We're looking forward to serving our customers and partners from an even more representative building in the city center and providing them with the top quality of our ECM solutions and services that they've become accustomed to,” said Kamyar Niroumand, CEO of Beta Systems Software AG. 

“With Beta Systems, a well-known company is located in our city whose subsidiary – known as Kleindienst Datentechnik until 2004 – has been here for more than 30 years and has lastingly strengthened the business location Augsburg over that time.  We're delighted that Beta Systems is continuing its commitment to Augsburg with its new offices in the city center,” said Dr. Paul Wengert, mayor of the city of Augsburg.

With immediate effect Beta Systems can be reached in Augsburg at the following address:
