                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To  the  Administrative  Committee  of
  Policy  Management  Systems  Corporation  401(k)  Retirement  Savings  Plan

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits  and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits  present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
benefits  of the Policy Management Systems Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings
Plan  at  December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for
the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  financial  statements  are  the responsibility of the Plan's
management;  our  responsibility  is  to  express  an opinion on these financial
statements  based  on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements  are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements,  assessing  the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our  audits  were  performed  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Schedule of
Assets  Held for Investment Purposes and Schedule of Reportable Transactions are
presented  for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department  of  Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in  net  assets  available  for  plan  benefits  is  presented  for  purposes of
additional  analysis  rather  than  to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental  schedules  are  the  responsibility  of the Plan's management. The
supplemental  schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied  in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion,  are  fairly  stated  in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

                         401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN

     The  Board  of  Directors  of  Policy  Management  Systems Corporation (the
"Company")  established  the  Policy  Management  Systems  Corporation  401(k)
Retirement  Savings  Plan  (the  "Plan")  to  provide a before-tax and after-tax
savings  retirement program for all eligible employees of the Company.  The Plan
became  effective  on  April  1,  1990 and is subject to the requirements of the
Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974  (ERISA).


2.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

GENERAL

     The  following  description of the Plan is provided for general information
purposes  only.  Participants  should  refer  to  the  Plan  document for a more
complete  description  of  the  Plan's  provisions.

ELIGIBILITY

     All employees of the Company and its participating affiliates, who are U.S.
citizens  or  U.S.  residents,  who  have attained the age of 18 are eligible to
participate  in  the  Plan.  A Participant who chooses not to enroll in the Plan
when  they  are  first  eligible  may  elect  to participate at a later date, in
accordance  with  the  terms of the Plan. During the year, the Plan discontinued
the  six-consecutive  month  period  of  employment  requirement for eligibility

EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

     Participants  may  contribute  in  1%  increments  up  to  15%  of eligible
compensation  as  either before-tax or after-tax contributions to the Plan, or a
combination of both. The maximum before-tax contribution allowed by the Internal
Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code"),  for  1998  was  $10,000.

EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

     The  Company  matches  100%  of  the first 3% and 50% of the next 3% of the
Participant's  before-tax  or  after-tax  contributions,  but not both. Employer
matching contributions are invested in the Policy Management Systems Corporation
Common  Stock  Fund.

ALLOCATIONS

     Participant's accounts are credited with the actual income derived from the
investments  in  such  accounts  and  with  the  actual expenses related to such
accounts.

INVESTMENT ELECTIONS

     Each Participant is required to telephone the Plan Administrator to enroll,
choose  a  deferral  rate  and  designate  the  allocation  of the Participant's
contributions among the Plan's investment funds in multiples of 1%. In addition,
participants  may  change  the  investment  of  contributions and may move their
vested  balances  among  investment  funds by internet or telephone at any time.

<PAGE>
NOTE  2  CONTINUED

In  addition  to  the  contributions specified above, Participants who receive a
qualified  distribution  under  section  401(a)  of the Code, from any other tax
qualified  plan,  may have all or part of such distribution transferred into the
Plan.  Such rollover contributions are subject to tax regulations imposed by the
Code.

VESTING

     A  Participant  is always 100% vested in his or her before-tax contribution
accounts,  after-tax  contribution accounts and rollover accounts. A Participant
will  become fully vested in his employer matching contribution account when the
first  of  the  following occurs: the Participant obtains five years of credited
service; reaches normal retirement age; becomes permanently disabled; or becomes
deceased.

FORFEITURE ALLOCATIONS

     All  Participant  forfeitures  are  used to reduce future employer matching
contributions  to the Plan and pay plan expenses. At December 31, 1998, the Plan
had  approximately  $103,000  in  forfeitures.

BENEFIT PAYMENTS

     The  Participant's  after-tax contributions may be withdrawn at any time by
telephoning  the Plan Administrator. In addition, a Participant may withdraw all
or  any  part of his or her vested employer matching contributions on his or her
after-tax  contributions,  but  only  to the extent that such contributions have
been  in  the Plan for at least two full Plan years after the Plan year in which
such  contributions  were  made.

LOANS

     Participants  may  apply  for  loans  greater  than  $1,000  from the Plan,
collateralized  by  their  account balances and repaid through payroll deduction
generally  subject  to  the  following  terms:

1)  The total loans of any Participant at any point in time shall not exceed the
lesser  of  (i) 50% of the Participant's vested Account balance, or (ii) $50,000
adjusted  on  the  volume  of  loans  outstanding  to the Participant during the
previous  one-year  period.

2)  Loans  may  not  be  made  in  such  a manner as to favor highly compensated
employees,  officers  or  shareholders.

3)  No  Participant  shall be permitted to have more than one loan from the Plan
issued  and  outstanding  at  any  time.

4)  Interest  charged  on  loans  is  1%  over  the  prime  lending  rate.

5)  The length and terms of repayment may not exceed 5 years, unless the purpose
of  the  loan  is  for the purchase of the Participant's principal residence, in
which  case  the  loan  term  may  be  extended  to  ten  years.

6)  All  amounts  repaid  are  credited  to  the  Participant's  account.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Administrative  expenses  of the Plan may be paid out of Plan assets if not
paid  by  the  Company.  Administrative  expenses paid by the Plan for the years
ended  December  31,  1998  and  1997  were $150,339 and $389,128, respectively.

NOTE 2 CONTINUED

SERVICE  PROVIDER

     During  1997,  Aon Consulting, Inc. served as the recordkeeper for the Plan
and  First  Union  National Bank served as the Trustee. Effective April 1, 1998,
Fidelity  Investments  Institutional  Operations  Company,  Inc.  became  the
recordkeeper and Fidelity Management Trust Company serves as the Trustee for the
Plan.


3.  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared on the accrual
basis  in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles except that
amounts  relating  to  the  individual  participant-directed  investment program
(Brokeragelink)  have  not  been disclosed as separate funds. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
may  require  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that effect the
reported  amounts  of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported
amounts  of  additions  to  and  deductions  from  net assets available for plan
benefits  during  the  reporting  period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

ACCOUNTING FOR BENEFIT DISTRIBUTIONS

     In  accordance  with guidance issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public  Accountants,  the  Plan accounts for distributions such that all amounts
elected  to  be  withdrawn and distributed from the Plan by Participants are not
recorded  as  a  liability  in  the  Statement  of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits.  As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, $0 and $212,012 have been allocated
to accounts of persons who have withdrawn from participation in the earnings and
operations  of the Plan, but for which disbursement of those funds from the Plan
has  not  yet  been  made.  The  following  is  a  reconciliation to the amounts
reported  on  Form  5500:

</TABLE>



In  addition,  the  financial  statements  differ from the Form 5500 by the same
amount  for  distributions  on  the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Net  Assets.

NOTE  3  CONTINUED

INVESTMENTS

     Each  fund  is  valued  at quoted market prices to determine a current fund
value.  Investments  in  securities  for  which  exchange quotations are readily
available  are valued at the last sale price, or, if no sale, at the closing bid
price.  Debt  securities  are valued in the same manner or in some other manner,
if,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Board  of trustees, such other manner would more
accurately  reflect  the  fair  value  of  such  debt  securities.  Short-term
investments  (consisting  primarily  of money-market funds) are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
market  value.

The  Plan  presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits  the  net  appreciation  (depreciation)  in  the  fair  value  of  its
investments  which  consists  of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
appreciation  (depreciation)  on  those  investments.

Through  March  31,  1998,  the investment options available through First Union
were  as  follows: Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market, Fidelity Puritan
Fund, Fidelity Magellan Fund, Evergreen Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, PMSC Stock
Fund,  Smith  Barney  Fundamental  Value Fund, Smith Barney International Equity
Portfolio,  Evergreen  Growth  & Income Fund, Putnam OTC & Emerging Growth Fund,
and  First  Union  Enhanced  Stock  Market  Fund.

     After  the Plan changed trustees to Fidelity, the investment options, based
on  descriptions  provided  by  the  Fund  Managers,  were  as  follows:

Fidelity  Retirement  Government Money Market:  This fund consists of short-term
money  market  securities in which the U.S. government or its agencies guarantee
timely  payment  of  principal  and  interest.

MAS  Fixed  Income Portfolio:  This fund is an income-producing bond mutual fund
consisting of all types of bonds including U.S. government or agency securities,
corporate  bonds,  mortgage  securities,  and  international  bonds.

Fidelity  Puritan  Fund:  This  fund  consists of high-yielding U.S. and foreign
securities  and  common  and  preferred  stocks,  and  bonds  of  any quality or
maturity.

MAS  Value  Portfolio:  This  fund consists mostly of stocks of larger companies
that  are  considered  undervalued.

Spartan  U.S.  Equity  Index  Fund:  This  fund  invests  primarily  in  S&P 500

investment  and  with  solid  performance  histories  and  proven  management.

Fidelity  Diversified  International  Fund:  This  fund  consists  of  stocks of
companies  located  outside  the U.S. which are undervalued compared to industry
norms  in  their  countries.

PMSC  Stock  Fund:  This  fund consists of the common stock of Policy Management
Systems  Corporation  as  well  as  short-term  investments.

<PAGE>
NOTE  3  CONTINUED

Fidelity  Brokerage  Link:  This  fund  is  a  brokerage account which gives the
participant  a  wide  variety  of  investment  options  including stocks, bonds,
mortgage  securities,  certificates  of  deposit,  foreign securities, and other
mutual  funds.


4.  TAX  STATUS

     The  Internal  Revenue  Service  has determined and informed the Company by
letter  dated  November  1996,  that  the  Plan  is  designed in accordance with
Sections 401(k) and 401(a) of the Code. The Plan Administrator believes that the
Plan  is  written  and  is  currently  being  operated  in  compliance  with the
applicable  requirements  of  the  Code. The Trust is exempt from federal income
taxes  under  section  501(a)  of  the  Code.


5.  TERMINATION OF PLAN

     The Company expects and intends to continue the Plan in force indefinitely,
but  has  reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan as necessary. If the
Plan  were  to  be  terminated,  Participants  would become fully vested and all
assets  of  the  Plan  would be distributed to the individual Participants based
upon  the  vested  balances  in  their  individual  accounts  at  the  date  of
termination.


6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The  Plan  purchases,  on  behalf  of Participants, shares of the Company's
common  stock  in accordance with individual Participant's investment elections.
During  the  Plan year ended December 31, 1998, the Plan purchased 94,282 shares
at an aggregate cost of $5,223,517 and sold 92,815 shares for aggregate proceeds
of  $5,101,105  and  realized  gains  of  $2,087,936. During the Plan year ended
December  31,  1997,  the  Plan purchased 127,114 shares at an aggregate cost of
$6,286,648  and  sold  57,750  shares  for  aggregate proceeds of $3,006,716 and
realized  gains of $347,647. The Plan also had 684,880 and 337,594 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  with  a  fair  value of $34,586,440 and $23,484,051 at
December  31,  1998  and  1997,  respectively.
