                CIBER ANNOUNCES NEW ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION PRACTICE
                         AND BUSINESS IMPACT SYSTEMS MERGER

     Englewood, Colorado - February 25, 1999 - CIBER, Inc. ("CIBER") (NYSE: 
CBR) announced today the establishment of its new Enterprise Integration 
Practice and the merger of Business Impact Systems, Inc. ("BIS"). BIS, a 
privately held provider of Enterprise Integration Services, headquartered in 
Herndon, VA with operations in Maryland and the Carolinas, was named one of 
the fastest growing technology companies in the country by Deloitte & Touche 
LLP in 1998.

     "Our business model strategy embodies our quest to provide continuously 
leading information technology services for today and the future.  This 
combination with BIS brings to CIBER most exciting prospects.  Not only does 
BIS have excellent leaders throughout its structure, our new Enterprise 
Integration Practice can be a catalyst for the cross-selling of all of 
CIBER's services," stated Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President/CEO.  "As BIS' 
track record indicates, Mike McLister and his entire management group have 
done an exceptional job of building an impressive client list, an engineering 
team and business model that meets today's critical challenge of integrating 
disparate data applications, and operating systems and platforms.  We believe 
this new practice sits at the heart of business dynamics in our information 
technology service offerings while enhancing our E-Business world," continued 
Mr. Slingerlend.

     "With the expanded technical resource base that CIBER adds to BIS, this 
merger provides CIBER with immediate business expansion opportunities among 
BIS' impressive clientele list.  BIS has demonstrated the ability to capture 
and grow strategic client relationships into long-term project outsourcing 
relationships and will help expand CIBER's IT project outsourcing model," 
stated Mike McLister, BIS' President/CEO.  BIS currently generates annualized 
revenues of approximately $20 million; the combination will be accounted for 
as a pooling of interests.
