Allnet's skills and experience are a valuable addition to Computacenter
Services' growing Technology Solutions business in two key areas:

• The acquisition complements our existing capability in the growth area of 
  converged IP-based networks and related security and managed services, where 
  clients look to achieve cost savings and flexibility.

• Allnet is particularly strong in the structured cabling and facilities
  optimisation market, where it is identified as one of only three 'Tier 1' 
  service providers identified by BSRIA (The Building Services Research
  and Information Association.

Jon Bennett, Computacenter Technology Solutions Director, comments; 'The
acquisition of Allnet furthers our strategy of building breadth and depth of
capability in infrastructure services. We believe the addition of Allnet will
give us significant synergies and new opportunities to grow our services
business.'

James Steventon, Managing Director of Allnet, comments; 'Our union with
Computacenter is a highly attractive proposition for our customers, giving them
access to wider geographical coverage and a far broader range of services. As
part of a leading end-to-end services provider, I am confident we are well
placed to realise our full business potential as a technology company'.
