DATAGROUP confirms successful takeover of IT specialists from Hewlett
Packard Enterprise
Pliezhausen, August 11, 2016. DATAGROUP AG (WKN A0JC8S) takes over IT
specialists and parts of the supply chain from Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(HPE) in Germany on September 1, 2016. The IT service provider confirms
that more than the required 70% out of a total of 330 HPE employees have
already agreed to the transfer of undertakings before expiry of the
opposition period. Accordingly, the decisive hurdle for the transaction
announced in July 2016 has been cleared. The successful takeover helps
DATAGROUP to significantly expand its competitive strength in the
strategically important SAP and applications management services business
segment.
In addition to highly qualified IT specialists, the IT service provider
secures a major order from HPE and will provide SAP and application
management services for HPE's existing customers in the future. The
contract has a term of 64 months and can be extended by another 20 months
thereafter.
