Anite Group plc ('Anite' or 'the Group'), the worldwide IT solutions and
services company, announces that the disposal of its Paris-based IT consultancy,
Datavance, was completed earlier today.

The total cash consideration of €19.0 million (circa £13.1 million) has been

Group's future results.

'This sale is a further important step in our programme of disposals of
non-core, peripheral businesses, to better focus on growth opportunities in our
core markets.'
