COMPUTER DATA SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES CORPORATE REORGANIZATION

Contact:  Sandy Christopher (301) 921-7044

ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, JUNE 12, 1996---CDSI Chief Executive Officer and President
Peter A. Bracken announced today a plan, which will be effective July 1, 1996, 
to reorganize the Company into two business units - the CDSI Information
Technology Solutions Company (ITS) and the CDSI Business Applications Solutions
Company (BAS).  These business units will function as distinct companies with
different lines of business, but will not be formally incorporated or function
as separate legal entities.

"This reorganization strengthens CDSI's business structure, promotes efficiency,
and favorably positions the Company for future growth," said Bracken.  "The
organization of these two business units allows us to leverage the existing
strengths of our people so that we can more  effectively respond to our
customers' needs."

ITS will combine CDSI's present Systems Engineering Group and Professional
Services Group. "Such a combination seems natural as the lines of business of
these groups are similar and presently overlap," said Bracken.  "With the
combined power and synergy of these two organizations, I'm very excited about 
the growth potential of ITS." 

CDSI's current Executive Vice President of Business Development Mary Ann Mayhew
will be appointed as President of ITS.  The present management of both the
Professional Services and  the Systems Engineering Groups will play key roles in
ITS.  Professional Services Group's  Ed Johnson will serve as Senior Vice
President of Operations for ITS and will support Mayhew's efforts in carrying
out the day-to-day operations of this business unit.  Systems Engineering
Group's Bill Gray will serve as Executive Vice President of Pacific and Eastern
Zone General Services Administration (GSA) Programs and will have specific
responsibilities for winning and growing contracts for ITS.

"ITS will continue offering a full range of information technology support to
CDSI's government customers, including the migration of mainframe legacy
applications to client/server environments, network integration,
telecommunications support, application software development and maintenance,
and automated office systems support," said Mayhew.

Mayhew has been involved - through both her business development and contracts
role - in dealing with CDSI's customers and their special needs.
 
In addition to the above role, Bracken will appoint Gray to be CDSI's Executive
Vice President primarily responsible for CDSI's Argentina operations and, in
that capacity, will report directly to Bracken.

CDSI Executive Vice President Tom Green will be appointed as President of BAS. 
In this capacity, Green will be responsible for all of CDSI's processing
services, outsourcing, and financial software business, including one of CDSI's
largest clients - the Department of Education supporting the Direct Student Loan
Program. 

"Additionally, Tom's charter will be to not only continue to grow federal
government business, but to 'lead the charge' into our many new opportunities in
the commercial world," said Bracken.

As part of the reorganization, CDSI is announcing the creation of a new
organization to help further CDSI's growth potential.  This new organization,
which will be known as the Corporate Development Group, will be responsible for
strategic planning, the annual business plan preparation, and merger/acquisition
opportunities.

"These are exciting times for CDSI," said Bracken.  "I firmly believe that we
are favorably positioned in a rapidly growing, competitive market.  We have the
resources and vision necessary to grow."
