GK SOFTWARE AG Wins Important Order from an
International Fashion Retailer

- International project in more than two dozen countries

Schöneck, 22. December 2011 - An important international fashion retailer has engaged the services of GK SOFTWARE AG to equip its stores in more than two dozen countries. The project will involve introducing new store software and central control solutions for more than 700 stores of the company. One of the major focuses of the project is the close integration of the store solutions within the central software provided by SAP.

The Management Board at GK SOFTWARE AG is not expecting the project to trigger any significant effects on sales in fiscal 2011 and is therefore continuing to stand by its current forecast for the ongoing business year.
