AFFECTO'S STRATEGY 2009-2011


AFFECTO PLC         STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE       12 FEBRUARY 2009 AT 10:30

AFFECTO'S STRATEGY 2009-2011

Affecto, the leading BI solution provider in the Nordic countries, has updated
its strategy and long-term financial targets for the next three years.

According  to the adjusted strategy the company continues to have  two  strong
business lines: Business Intelligence solutions and Operational IT solutions.

The  company  aims to further strengthen its position as the leading  Business
Intelligence  solution  provider  in the Nordic  countries.  Furthermore,  the
company  may extend its operational area from Nordic countries to other  parts
of the Northern Europe. The company offers BI solutions in its whole operating
area.

In  addition,  the company aims to be the most competent and  quality  focused
provider  of  Operational  IT solutions in selected  industries  and  regions.
Affecto delivers operational solutions from Finland and Baltic countries.  One
spearhead are the insurance solutions based on TIA platform. Affecto  aims  to
increasingly utilize Baltic workforce in its Nordic service offering.

Financial targets:
*  Growth exceeding the market growth and a growing market share especially in
the  BI  business.  The growth target will be reached through  organic  growth
possibly supplemented by acquisitions.
*  One  of the most profitable IT services companies within its market  region
(IT service companies listed in the Nordic countries).

The  dividend policy remains unchanged, i.e. the board intends to  propose  to
the  general meeting dividends up to one-half of earnings per share on average
over the longer term.

According  to  Pekka  Eloholma, CEO, the strategy update gives  the  company's
business a better focus for future development:"In today's challenging economic environment, we do not find it very practical
to set numeric targets, as the economic developments of the next few years are
very  difficult  to  forecast. Our strength is our wide  skill-base  and  good
market  position in the Nordic market for Business Intelligence solutions.  We
continue to develop the company utilizing our core competency."
