LOGICA INC. AWARDED MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FROM LOTUS DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION

integration key to decision

LEXINGTON, Massachusetts, -- Logica Inc., one of the leading independent
systems integration, consulting and software firms in the world, today
announced that they have been awarded a multi-million dollar contract from
Lotus Development Corporation. Logica, with over 25 years experience in
systems development, and more than 8 years with the development of OS/2,
will provide significant programming and consulting assistance to the OS/2
SmartSuite development team.

"We are excited that Lotus selected Logica to play a role in their
development of the SmartSuite OS/2 product line," highlights Frank Winters,
Executive Vice President, Business Development for Logica. "The Lotus
project is a testament of a major Logica capability. One of the unique
aspects of Logica is that we build, modify and integrate at the operating
system and middleware level just as effectively as we do at the application
level, providing the unmatched technology and systems integration services
needed by business to integrate today's emerging technology."

With a very successful track record with IBM, developing and managing over
45 projects for the company, Logica's software engineering expertise is an
area Lotus plans to leverage in order to provide a competitive new release
for the OS/2 platform. In addition, Logica has been named by IBM as a
preferred vendor in OS/2 development, which recognizes the company's history
delivering high quality products on time and on budget.

"We are extremely pleased with the programming expertise and consulting
assistance Logica is providing the Lotus OS/2 SmartSuite development team,"
states Bill Hume, Director of OS/2 Development, of Lotus Development
Corporation. "The partnership between Lotus and Logica exemplifies a quality
of technology and performance that will ultimately benefit the end-user's
business solutions."

Continues Winters, "For Lotus to entrust Logica with work on a key product
is a compliment in itself. We look forward to continuing to work with Lotus
in the future and assisting them in the extremely competitive desktop and
