FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Computervision Achieves Increased Momentum for Third Quarter

- -- Growth in Profitability and Software Product Revenue --

- -- Multiyear Marketing Agreement with Electronic Data Systems --


BEDFORD, Mass., October 24, 1996 -- Computervision Corporation (NYSE:CVN) 
today reported results for the third quarter which showed increased 
earnings and increased software product revenues over the comparable 
period a year ago.  It also announced that it has signed a major, long-
term joint marketing agreement with Electronic Data Systems (NYSE:EDS).

For the three months ended September 29, 1996, Computervision achieved 
net income of $13.1 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to net income 
of $8 million, or $0.16 per share, in the year ago third quarter.  
Software product revenue for the third quarter of 1996 increased 39 
percent to $55 million, compared with software product revenue of $39.6 
million for the 1995 third quarter.  Reflecting an expected decline in 
hardware services revenue, total revenue for the 1996 third quarter was 
$123.3 million, down slightly from total 1995 third quarter revenue of 
$125.4 million.

For the nine months ended September 29, 1996, Computervision achieved net 
income of $31.9 million, or $0.49 per share, on total revenue of $355.4 
million, including software product revenue of $138.9 million.  For the 
comparable 1995 nine months, Computervision had net income of $18.1 
million, or $0.36 per share, on total revenue of $376.2 million, 
including software product revenue of $115.7 million.

Kathleen A. Cote, president and chief operating officer, stated, "This 
has been an important quarter for Computervision in many respects.  We 
continued to grow our profitability and software product revenue, we 
signed an agreement to sell our Open Service Solutions (OSS) business for 
$125 million which will be reflected in the fourth quarter, and signed a 
joint marketing agreement with EDS." 

The first contract won under the EDS agreement is expected to result in 
the delivery through EDS of $54 million of Computervision products and 
services to the Rolls-Royce Aerospace Group and Allison Engine Company 
over the next 10 years.  Computervision believes this agreement will 
significantly enhance its marketing power and marks a continued 
commitment by the Rolls-Royce Aerospace Group to Computervision's 
Electronic Product Definition(TM) (EPD(TM)) strategy and an expansion of 
Computervision's business in the North American market with the Allison 
Engine award.

Cote continued, "The products and services to be provided to Rolls-Royce 
and Allison Engine are reflective of the power of the EDS agreement and 
represents a transaction which, as anticipated, had an important effect 
on this year's third quarter.

"The initial contract with Rolls-Royce and Allison Engine is important 
not only because of its initial size, but also because it positions 
Computervision to develop further business opportunities throughout the 
extended supplier bases of these two companies.  

"Computervision's momentum is continuing to build as evidenced by the 
events of the past quarter.  We are now in the process of converting a 
number of our customers to our EPD suite of products.  While this will 
carry some higher costs in the interim, it will further expand EPD's 
penetration into Computervision's customer base.  In addition, we will 
continue to add new customers and create greater long-term growth 
opportunities," Cote stated.
