Press Release Body = NIIT Technologies AG, the German subsidiary of the
internationally operating offshore-services provider NIIT Technologies, has closed
an offshore partnership agreement with the IT full-service provider DB Systems GmbH,
for the flexible provisioning of IT specialists.

NIIT Technologies will take over the function of an "extended workbench" for DB
Systems and, when needed-such as times of peak production-provide internationally
certified IT specialists and developers.

The offshore partnership reiterates DB Systems' strategic focus of being an
independent, internationally operating IT full-service provider. "The cooperation
with NIIT Technologies AG provides DB Systems with access to personnel, while
minimising the associated risks and costs and supports the goals we've set within a
growth and diversification-based strategy," explained Robert Simmeth, Chairman of
the Management Board at DB Systems.

"The engagement with NIIT Technologies, which is initially planned for three years,
will not lead to a reduction in the number of jobs at DB Systems. We have even been
taking on new staff for software engineering in selected segments," Simmeth
stressed.

With this project, NIIT Technologies AG is making available offshore services to the
German market and is positioning itself as a capable offshoring partner for the
development of cost-optimising IT solutions.

"Growth with minimal risks, thanks to flexible staff planning: The cooperation with
DB Systems underscores NIIT Technologies AG's claim of being a strategic partner
for the flexible development and production of applications, in line with market
demands," commented, Rolf Stephan, Executive Director at NIIT Technologies AG.
