Bremen, 23th April 2009 - Within the framework of a Management Buyout, the Bremen Team takes control of an already established business division and, with the newly founded enterprise, continues to build the business.

The former Ray Sono AG "Training & Simulation" division gets a new company structure: Under the name szenaris GmbH, the two acting partners Klaus Bock-Mueller and Dr. Uwe Katzky will continue to manage the Bremen team who, for over 8 years, have grown the customer base and will continue to develop the business.

"With szenaris GmbH, we are converting an established division of Ray Sono AG into its own business. This way, the company can position itself more clearly in the market in the future and can impart a clear message to the existing customer base as well as to new customers: szenaris offers a complete portfolio and professional competence developed over many years in the disciplines of training, personal development and simulation. Our proven team of 26 associates has been transferred, in its entirety, to the new business - thus maintaining continuity for our customers at all times" say the managing directors Klaus Bock-Mueller and Dr. Uwe Katzky.

Thomas Fehr, CEO of Ray Sono AG, says that separating the division is part of a long-term strategic adjustment: "Since its establishment, Ray Sono has always understood itself to be an incubator for new technologies, methods and trends. The 'Training & Simulation' division has been successfully developed by us since 2001 and is now strong enough to stand on its own feet in the marketplace. Ray Sono will concentrate principally on the traditionally strongest 'Portals' division. That doesn't mean that, in the future, there won't be any new, innovative trends developed in a proven way within our own divisions."

Under the slogan "We future you, NOW!", szenaris GmbH have set themselves the goal of becoming a leading provider of training and simulation solutions in German-speaking countries. Driving this is an experienced staff in the fields of didactics/methodology, conception, design, programming and project management. Cooperation and research projects with notable colleges and universities guarantee that the interaction concepts and solutions provided by szenaris GmbH are always in line with the latest scientific thinking.

"Close-to-reality simulations elegantly complement conventional training concepts. Our complete solutions, consisting of hardware and software, are scalable, in a way that makes it possible for organisations with small budgets to access Virtual Reality Simulations" says Klaus Bock-Mueller. "szenaris is big enough and stable enough to survive in the market and, at the same time, small enough to be able to respond flexibly and innovatively to the demands of its customers."

szenaris GmbH specializes in PC-based learning media such as CBT and WBT as well as distance learning, virtual reality (VR), team training and simulation. The spectrum ranges from corporate training programs through team training systems and all the way to complete training solutions.

szenaris realizes all projects completely in-house – in this way, conception and implementation are optimally co-ordinated. For us, the integration of technical specialists and business representatives from the target group guarantees the successful completion of projects.

Our customers include Bruker Daltonik, The Federal Office for Military Technology and Procurement (German Federal Armed Forces), Claas, dpa, g.e.b.b., General Dynamics European Land Systems-Germany, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, Nokia Siemens Networks, Lower Saxony Police, Reuschel & Co KG, Siemens, Thales, Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems - among others.
