SoluCom finalises merger with Dreamsoft

The SoluCom Group announces having finalised the acquisition of 100% of the capital of Dreamsoft on September 16 th. Dreamsoft will thus be consolidated over 6 months for fiscal 2005/06.

Thanks to this operation, SoluCom achieves a change in scale in the consulting segment for software infrastructure / middleware, in particular in very high added value services such as IT system urbanisation.

SoluCom and Dreamsoft actively worked on the preparation of the merger over the summer. First effects are already noticeable since SoluCom and Dreamsoft just won a project for a major French bank. The project consists in designing the “infrastructures'' strategy plan. This first commercial success underlines the technical and commercial synergies of the new group.

With now 350 high level employees specialised in infrastructures consulting, SoluCom strengthens its positioning and confirms its ambition to become the market leader in France by 2007.
