Commenting on this award, Anite's Chief Executive, John Hawkins said: 'It is pleasing that despite the current tough market conditions we are continuing to win significant contract in the Public Sector. This win is strong evidence of our capacity to integrate the solutions that we now offer as a result of our recent acquisitions. Our innovative approach is based on Anite's core Housing solution, tightly integrated with our mobile working, geographical information, call centre, payments and financial systems. This contract was won following a thorough evaluation and procurement process that saw the Office of Housing evaluate and eliminate proposals from other leading Housing System suppliers in both Australia and the United Kingdom. As a direct result of winning this contract Anite will further expand its Public Sector operation in Australia, which in addition to supporting our commitments to the State of Victoria, will market and support the key elements of the Anite Public Sector portfolio in Australia and to other targeted markets in the Asia Pacific region.' - Ends - For further information, please contact: www.anite.com Anite Group plc John Hawkins, Chief Executive 0118 945 0129 Weber Shandwick Square Mile Reg Hoare/Laurence Read 020 7950 2800 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
