                        SQS Software Quality Systems AG 
                            ("SQS" or "the Company") 
 
                      Major Managed Services Contract Win 
 
SQS Software Quality Systems AG (AIM: SQS.L), the world's largest pure play 
supplier of  independent software testing and quality management services, is 
pleased to announce a major new Managed Services contract win and to provide an 
update on progress for its Managed Services offering. 
 
SQS has signed a significant new Managed Services contract with an existing 
client, estimated to be worth at least EUR15 million over a period of three and 
half years. This is the biggest single client contract ever signed by SQS. Under 
the terms of the contract, SQS will provide a comprehensive set of services 
including test management, design, execution and evaluation of test cases and 
test documentation. In addition to local onshore consultants, SQS will engage, 
to a significant degree, its offshore Test Centre in Cairo, Egypt. The contract 
is not expected to make a significant contribution to revenue in the current 
year. 
 
Total order intake for Managed Services (including the above contract) in the 
year to date stands at approximately EUR40 million, compared to the EUR15 million 
reported at the time of the Company's AGM on 26 May 2010. Of this, the Company 
expects approximately EUR9 million will be recognised in the current financial 
year. 
 
Rudolf van Megen, Chief Executive Officer of SQS commented, "We are very pleased 
that SQS has been chosen as a strategic partner for the provision of Managed 
Software Testing services by another existing client. The winning of this major 
Managed Services contract is a clear endorsement of our strategic decision to 
focus on managed testing services and increase the level of this type of 
business as a proportion of overall revenues.  We look forward to continued 
success in this area." 
 
 SQS will be announcing results for the six months to 30 June 2010 on 8 
September 2010.
