DOCdata Acquires Contributie Services B.V.


WAALWIJK, Netherlands, December 28 -- DOCdata N.V. today announces that Triple Deal B.V., a majority-owned subsidiary of DOCdata, has bought all issued shares of Contributie Services B.V. in Utrecht from Conclusion B.V., who founded the company.

With the acquisition of Contributie Services B.V., DOCdata has taken the next step in repositioning the company that is listed at Euronext Amsterdam. Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO of DOCdata N.V.: "More and more organisations come to appreciate the commercial opportunities the Internet is offering them. The know-how to transfer these opportunities into specific projects is available in the market, however only in a very fragmented way.

Building a web shop, warehousing, shipping orders, electronic payments, return handling; they are all completely interdependent. Who is able to interconnect them, is successful. It is our mission to combine all this knowledge and through that offer crucial added value to our customers. This is what distinguishes us from other parties in the market."

Contributie Services manages the collection of recurring payments for clubs and organisations that have members or customers who regularly have to make payments. The processing and collection of payments is a time-consuming and complex activity for most clubs and companies.

Contributie Services takes over the responsibility to process membership or customer payments. This leads to a more efficient cash management with less open invoices. Major Dutch sport clubs and national Dutch sport associations are already using Contributie Services. An efficient collection, and because of that a better cash situation, is also important for all kind of associations, utility companies, charities, etc.. For this, Contributie Services has the knowledge and in-house software available. This acquisition is therefore a very welcome addition for a payment-service-provider such as Triple Deal, and is a further reinforcement of the current market position of DOCdata.

Wednesday 16 January 2008 at 10.30 hours (local time) in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht (prior to the opening of the 'webwinkelvakdagen'), DOCdata will hold a meeting with the press and will present its view on the market and the role that DOCdata wishes to play therein. At this occasion, DOCdata will also present its new Corporate Identity. Should you want to attend this presentation, then please register per email at the latest on Monday, 14 January 2008, through hreichwein@docdata.com .
