             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



1.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-
     01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
     results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
     31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
     statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.   During the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of
     GMI Software, Inc. (GMI), a global provider of application software
     supporting exchange-traded futures and options. The acquisition of GMI has
     been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The accompanying consolidated
     financial statements include the results of GMI from January 1, 1997. Prior
     year consolidated financial statements have not been restated because the
     effect of such restatement is not material.

     Also during the first quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of the
     disaster recovery business of Data Assurance Corporation of Englewood,
     Colorado. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase of assets.

     On April 15, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of the Global Plus
     product line and certain other assets of Premier Solutions Ltd. Global Plus
     is a real-time, multi-currency trust and custody accounting system. This
     acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase of assets. The Company has
     engaged a nationally recognized, independent appraisal firm to express an
     opinion on the fair market value of the assets acquired to serve as the
     basis of allocation of the purchase price to the various classes of assets
     acquired. While this appraisal is not yet complete, the Company expects to
     record a charge against second quarter earnings for that portion of the
     purchase price related to purchased in-process research and development.
     This charge represents, as of the date of acquisition, the value of
     software products still in development, but not considered to have reached
     technological feasibility or to have any alternate future use.

     Except for the charge related to purchased in-process research and
     development described above, these acquisitions are not expected to have a
     material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
     operations.

3.   Fully diluted net income per common share was calculated using the
     weighted-average number of common shares and common-equivalent shares
     outstanding during the period. Common-equivalent shares are principally
     attributable to unexercised stock options. In February 1997, the Financial
     Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), which specifies a new
     methodology for the computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings
     per share and makes the U.S. standard for computing earnings per share more
     compatible with that of other countries and with the International
     Accounting Standards Committee.

     SFAS 128 requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
     share. The new standard is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of
     1997. While early adoption is not permitted, SFAS 128 requires restatement
     of all prior period earnings per share data at the time of adoption. The
     Company's new earnings per share amounts are not expected to be materially
     different from those computed under the present accounting standard for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Statements about the Company's expectations and all other statements in
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q other than historical facts are forward-
looking statements. Since these statements involve risks and uncertainties and
are subject to change at any time, the Company's actual results could differ
materially from expected results. The Company derives most of its forward-
looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based
upon many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions
are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting
certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of software
sales, the timing and magnitude of technological advances, the performance of
recently acquired businesses, the prospects for future acquisitions, and the
overall condition of the financial services industry. These factors, as and when
applicable, are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form 10-K, a copy of which may be
obtained from the Company without charge.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS:

     Investment Support Systems (ISS):

     The Company's ISS business is comprised of more than thirty operating units
of various size and complexity.  Historically, most operating units have met or
exceeded expectations, while some have not, yielding overall results for the
entire business at approximately the levels expected. Since overall ISS results
reflect the sum of the diverse results of individual operating units, there
could be an adverse impact on ISS revenues and margins if too many individual
units are unable to meet expectations.

     The ISS operating margin was 17.4% and 16.8% for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase in the operating
margin is due primarily to cost reductions in certain ISS businesses as compared
to the first three months of 1996, despite an increase in overall product
development expense.

     The Company expects that the full-year 1997 ISS operating margin will be
slightly higher than  the full-year 1996 ISS operating margin.  The most
important factors affecting the ISS operating margin continue to be the timing
and magnitude of software license revenues, the operating margin of recently
acquired businesses and the level of product development spending.

     Disaster Recovery Services (DRS):

     The DRS operating margin was 18.4% and 20.1% during the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease in the operating
margin is due primarily to the expansion of its sales force and costs associated
with additional operating facilities and equipment.

     The Company expects that the full-year 1997 DRS operating margin will
approximate the 1996 full-year DRS operating margin.  The most important factors
affecting the DRS operating margin continue to be the rate of new contract
signings and contract renewals, the timing and magnitude of equipment and
facilities expenditures, and the performance of recently acquired businesses.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Continued)

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

     Computer Services and Other (CS):

     The CS operating margin was 12.5% and 4.8% during the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase in the operating
margin is due to an increase in revenues and cost reductions in the Company's
healthcare information systems (HIS) businesses.

     The Company expects that the CS operating margin will continue to improve
as compared to 1996.  The most important factors affecting the CS operating
margin are the timing and magnitude of software license revenues related to the
HIS businesses, and revenue variability in both remote-access computer
processing and automated mailing services.

REVENUES:

     Total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased
$37.6 million, or 25%, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Excluding
acquired businesses, revenues increased $16.9 million, or 11%, during the three
month period compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Recurring revenues
derived from remote processing, disaster recovery and software maintenance
services approximated $149.3 million and $119.6 million, representing
approximately 80% of consolidated revenues in both of the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Company sells a significant portion of its products and services to the
financial services industry and could be directly affected by the overall
condition of that industry.  The Company expects that the consolidation trend in
the financial services industry will continue, but it is unable to predict what
effect, if any, this trend may have.

     Investment Support Systems:

     ISS revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased
$27.3 million, or 29%, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Excluding
acquired businesses, revenues increased $7.9 million, or 9%, during the three
month period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.
This increase is attributable to increases in data processing and software
maintenance revenues of $8.6 million, partially offset by a net decrease in
software license and professional services revenues of $0.7 million.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Continued)

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:

     Disaster Recovery Services:

     DRS revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased $9.4
million, or 22%, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Excluding
acquired businesses, revenues increased $8.0 million, or 18%, during the three
month period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.
The increase is attributable primarily to increases in revenues resulting from
new contract signings and contract renewals, and continued growth in midrange
platforms.

     Computer Services and Other:

     CS revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 increased $1.0
million, or 7%, compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  The increase is
due to increased volume in the Company's remote-access computer processing
business, and an increase in revenues in the Company's HIS businesses.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

     Cost of sales and direct operating expenses for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 increased $14.7 million, or 22%, compared to the
corresponding period in 1996.  The increase is due primarily to acquired
businesses, partially offset by cost reductions in certain ISS businesses.

     Sales, marketing and administration expenses for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 increased $5.4 million, or 17%, compared to the
corresponding period in 1996.  The increases are due primarily to acquired
businesses and an expansion in the sales force, particularly in the DRS Group,
partially offset by cost reductions in certain ISS and HIS businesses.

     Product development expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
1997 increased $3.6 million, or 28%, compared to the corresponding period in
1996.  The increase is due primarily to acquired businesses and an increase in
development spending in connection with various ISS products.  Development costs
capitalized were $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increase in development costs capitalized
is a function of the timing of development activities.

     Depreciation of property and equipment for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 increased $2.8 million, or 32%, compared to the corresponding
period in 1996.  The increase is due primarily to purchases of computer and
telecommunications equipment and acquired businesses.

     Amortization of intangible assets for the three month period ended March
31, 1997 increased $3.7 million, or 55%, due to acquired businesses.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          (Continued)

COSTS AND EXPENSES, CONTINUED:

     Interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 decreased
$1.3 million, or 68%, and interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 66%,
compared to the corresponding period in 1996 due to lower cash and short-term
investment balances and an increase in short-term debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     At March 31, 1997, cash and equivalents increased $3.9 million to $50.0
million from $46.1 million at December 31, 1996. The increase in cash and
equivalents is partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in short-term debt.
At March 31, 1997, borrowings under the Company's credit agreement totaled $20.0
million.

     The Company expects that its existing cash resources and cash generated
from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements,
contingent payments in connection with previously acquired businesses, and
ordinary capital spending needs for at least the next twelve months.
Furthermore, the Company has a $150.0 million credit agreement ($130.0 million
available at March 31, 1997), and believes it has the capacity to secure
additional credit or issue equity to finance additional capital needs.
