Company Targets High-growth Enterprise Solutions Delivery Market

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- EnteGreat, a leader in
manufacturing business technology consulting, today announced its acquisition
of the SAP Consulting Practice of Technology Solutions Company (TSC)
(Nasdaq: TSCC). The move substantially augments EnteGreat's existing SAP
business and positions the company for growth in emerging markets. EnteGreat
brings a unique blend of manufacturing expertise and technology systems
integration to the new unit, while TSC's SAP Consulting Practice brings
comprehensive consulting services, products, and unmatched project management
expertise. By adding best-of-breed SAP consulting and project management
capabilities to EnteGreat's existing SAP services, the newly expanded company
will enable customers to align their enterprise business processes to their
manufacturing operations more efficiently and cost effectively.
    With the acquisition closed, EnteGreat has begun integrating the SAP
Consulting Practice into its business. Due to the highly complementary nature
of this combination there will be no significant changes to the structure of
the company or division. Customers of both companies will continue to receive
an uninterrupted flow of services and the transition is expected to be
seamless. The SAP Consulting Practice will operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary of EnteGreat. It will continue to serve high-technology and
Industrial Machinery and Components (IM&C) markets, in addition to expanding
into new sectors, such as Life Sciences, Food and Beverages, and Mill
Products. What will change is that customers now have access to the combined
expertise of both companies at once and stand to gain from the resulting
comprehensive benefits.
    "When we combine the strength of EnteGreat in manufacturing execution with
the enterprise solutions strength of TSC's SAP Consulting Practice, we believe
we can deliver the industry's most comprehensive technology solution to our
manufacturing customers," said Rob Gellings, Chief Executive Officer of
EnteGreat. "This acquisition represents a major step forward in our long-term
strategy to expand into the enterprise solutions market and other high-growth
segments. Now more than ever EnteGreat is poised to directly align enterprise
business processes with manufacturing operations, in order to ensure the
success of companies across major industry sectors."
    Gellings concluded, "The acquisition also complements our existing MES
business which we serve through our longstanding relationships with a variety
of software partners."
    "This acquisition brings together two companies with similar cultures and
complementary offerings," added David Wasson, former Senior Vice President and
Practice Lead of TSC's SAP Consulting Practice and now President of the new
wholly owned subsidiary, EnteGreat Solutions, LLC. "We are extremely excited
about the opportunities for growth ahead. We are adding EnteGreat's
manufacturing execution expertise to our portfolio of superior end-to-end SAP
solutions. By accessing EnteGreat's deep skills, products and capabilities in
the manufacturing space we will be able to take advantage of new market
opportunities as we continue to serve our existing customers."
    An important component of the deal involves the merger of complementary
intellectual property (IP) that includes both companies' SAP accelerators,
including EDGE(TM), CMF(R) and MPF(TM). The combined IP further differentiates
EnteGreat with technology that accelerates customers' time-to-value while
reducing the risk associated with deploying SAP solutions.
    Both organizations are distinguished by their experienced management and
integration consultants. EnteGreat's responsive structure and efficient
business model has helped it deliver superior value to its Fortune 500
customers since 2000. With the acquisition, the company now boasts the
infrastructure, architecture capabilities, enterprise implementation services
and support capabilities of larger consulting firms. Its more experienced and
efficient teams of consultants deliver a lower total cost-of-ownership
solution with shorter delivery times.

the company at SAPPHIRE 2008, Orlando, FL., May 4-7 at Booth # 881.
