     This Final Amendment amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed on June 3, 1998 (as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule
14D-1") relating to the offer by DESI Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bowne & Co., Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Parent"), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Donnelley Enterprise
Solutions Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase
price of $21.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
dated as of June 3, 1998 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together with the Offer to Purchase, constitute the "Offer").
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 14D-1.
 
ITEM 5.  PURPOSE OF THE TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROSPECTS OF THE BIDDER.
 
     Item 5 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
     On July 7, 1998, the Parent announced that it had merged the Purchaser with
and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation
after the Merger and that the Merger became effective at 9 a.m., New York City
time, on Monday, July 6, 1998. Because the Purchaser had acquired at least 90%
of the outstanding Shares, the Merger was effected without a meeting of
stockholders of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and each outstanding Share (other than
Shares held in the treasury of the Company, Shares owned by the Parent, the
Purchaser or the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, the
Purchaser or the Company, and Shares owned by stockholders choosing to dissent
and demand appraisal of their Shares) was converted into the right to receive
$21.00 per Share in cash, without interest thereon, less any applicable
withholding taxes. The full text of the press release is set forth in Exhibit
(a)(11) and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
     On July 7, 1998, the Parent requested that the Shares no longer be quoted
on NASDAQ. The Parent expects that registration of the Shares under the Exchange
Act will be terminated.
 
ITEM 6.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.
 
     Item 6 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
     Pursuant to the Offer, which expired at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on
Wednesday, July 1, 1998, the Purchaser ultimately acquired 4,920,240 Shares (or
approximately 98.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares).
 
     The information provided in the Final Amendment under Item 5 is
incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 11.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
 
          (a)(11)  Press Release issued by the Parent on July 7, 1998.
