                     BY FIRST CLASS MAIL

                     Dear Stockholder:

                         On October 13, 2000, Convergent Group Corporation (the
                     "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
                     with Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a Texas
                     corporation ("STC"), Convergent Holding Corporation, a
                     Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of STC
                     ("Parent"), and Convergent Acquisition Sub., Inc., a
                     Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
                     Parent ("Purchaser"), that provides for the acquisition of
                     all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
                     share, of the Company by Purchaser at a price of $8.00 per
                     share.

                         The Purchaser has today commenced a cash tender offer
                     for any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of
                     common stock of the Company at a price of $8.00 net per
                     share. If Parent beneficially owns at least a majority of
                     the common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and certain
                     other conditions are satisfied or waived and the tender
                     offer is consummated, the merger agreement provides that,
                     following the tender offer, Purchaser will merge with and
                     into the Company and any remaining shares of common stock
                     of the Company will be converted into the right to receive
                     $8.00 per share in cash, without interest.

                         At a meeting on October 13, 2000, your Board of
                     Directors, by unanimous vote of all directors, based on,
                     among other things, the unanimous recommendation of a
                     Special Committee of the Board comprised of independent
                     directors (i) determined that the merger is advisable and
                     that the terms of the offer, the merger, the merger
                     agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are
                     fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its
                     stockholders, (ii) approved the offer and the merger and
                     approved and adopted the merger agreement, and
                     (iii) recommended the offer to, and the approval of the
                     merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
                     by, the stockholders of the Company.

                         In arriving at its recommendation, the Board gave
                     careful consideration to the factors described in the
                     enclosed tender offer materials and Schedule 14D-9.
                     Included with the Company's Schedule 14D-9 is the written
                     opinion, dated October 13, 2000, of Morgan Stanley & Co.
                     Incorporated, the Special Committee's financial advisor, to
                     the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject
                     to the matters described in the opinion, the price per
                     share of $8.00 to be received in the offer and the merger
                     by the holders of shares of common stock was fair, from a
                     financial point of view, to such holders.

                         Enclosed for your consideration are copies of the
                     tender offer materials and the Company's Schedule 14D-9,
                     which are being filed today with the Securities and
                     Exchange Commission. These documents should be read
                     carefully.

                                         Sincerely,

                                         /s/ Glenn E. Montgomery, Jr.
                                         Glenn E. Montgomery, Jr.
                                         Chairman, President and Chief Executive
                                         Officer
