Stock Exchange Release no. 3/2005
New CEO in Columbus IT Partner A/S

CEO Carsten Dilling is resigning from his position in Columbus IT Partner A/S
by the end of January 2005. 

Carsten Dilling has made a big and very commendable effort in turning around
the Company during his 3 ½ years as CEO. The Company is now heading in the
right direction and maintains forecasts of an EBITDA of DKK 30 - 40 million and
a result before tax of DKK 20 - 30 million DKK in 2005. The company has
received DKK 34 million as a subordinated loan and will receive DKK 76 million
in April 2005. In connection with the resignation, Carsten Dilling's bonus
scheme will be finally settled by the issue of 200,000 new shares. 

As Columbus IT Partner A/S has subsidiaries in 24 countries, the Board of
Directors believes that a CEO with an international profile and firsthand
knowledge of Microsoft, where Columbus IT Partner is the biggest international
MBS partner, is required. As of 16 February 2005 Vladislav Martynov will
replace Carsten Dilling as CEO. Vladislav is presently Director of Strategy at
Microsoft's headquarters in USA. 

Vladislav Martynov has in the period from 1997 to 2001 established Columbus IT
Partner in Russia and was transferred to Navison/Damgaard, when Columbus IT
Partner sold the Russian distribution activities to this company. Subsequently,
Vladislav Martynov joined Microsoft when Navision/Damgaard was sold. 

Vladislav Martynov (36) holds a Master of International Economics degree, and
as the only person in 2003 he was rewarded with the title “Eagle Award for
Outstanding Leadership” by Microsoft. With Vladislav Martynov as CEO based in
Copenhagen, Columbus IT Partner A/S will prove to international customers and
its subsidiaries that the Group is truly international and at the same time
emphasize the importance of close relations to the rapidly expanding markets in
USA, Russia and the Far East. 

Until the new CEO commences, CFO Torben Bartels will also assume the position
as CEO. Torben Bartels' bonus scheme will be finally settled by the issue of
130,000 new shares. Carsten Dilling has good knowledge of the new CEO from
Microsoft and supports the Company's new corporate strategy. Carsten Dilling
will leave the Company after successful completion of a very difficult
assignment and has by Chairman of the Board of Directors Ib Kunøe been offered
and accepted a position on the Board of Directors in gatetrade.net A/S. 

In connection with the management change Ib Kunøe says: “In the short period of
time that we have worked together I have appreciated Carsten Dillings'
professionalism, his loyal attitude and his extremely hard work. Only the
change of strategy and the possibility of getting an extraordinary
international manager from Microsoft perfectly suited for the challenges ahead
of Columbus IT Partner has caused this change. I look forward to working
together with Carsten Dilling in the future.”
