March 9 to 15, 2006. Aareon's presence as an SAP Business Partner at
CeBIT once again underscores its successful strategic collaboration
with SAP. In hall 4, booth D12, the focus will be on the latest
release of Blue Eagle, the property management software from Aareon
AG. Blue Eagle Release 3.0 is an integrated ERP system for handling
all property management processes.

Live demonstrations and presentations of Blue Eagle

On March 9, at 2:00 p.m., visitors can experience the efficient
management of property processes "live" during a Blue Eagle
presentation. Experienced consultants will demonstrate the scope of
application and the functionalities of Blue Eagle as part of the SAP
partner forum in hall 4, booth D12, forum 3.

Since its official launch in January 2004, the software has been
deployed by numerous customers. In Germany, companies managing a
total of more than one million residential units have opted for Blue
Eagle. The DEGEWO Group, Berlin, has been using the new solution
since the beginning of the year.

Managing 90,000 rental units and 600 users, the DEGEWO Group is
one of the largest residential property developers in Germany. The
DEGEWO project is the biggest implementation of Blue Eagle in Germany
to date.

"CeBIT is a key trade fair for us in the context of globalising
markets. Given the increasing investments of foreign companies in
German residential portfolios, the market demands new solutions which
effectively support customers' business models. Our comprehensive
range of products and services specifically caters to the needs of
the industry," Dr. Manfred Alflen, chief executive officer of Aareon
AG, said in the run-up to the fair. In future, Blue Eagle will be
available not only in Germany but in Switzerland, France and Italy as
well.
