4Front Wins $4.2 Million Contract.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1998--4Front Technologies, Inc. ("4Front") (NASDAQ NMS /EASDAQ SYMBOL FFTI) today announced that following a 3 month pilot contract, it has been awarded a major new computer service and support contract by ADP Dealer Services (UK) Ltd. a subsidiary of Automatic Data Processing Inc., the largest automotive computing services company in the world. The contract is worth approximately $4.2 million over 3 years for which 4Front will provide hardware support and software and hardware installation services to approximately 180 car dealerships serviced by ADP throughout the UK.

The ADP contract was won against a background of other important new business wins and successful renewals of existing major service contracts. For example:

-- 4Front has just won a new support contract with the Office of

National Statistics, a further successful penetration of the UK

government marketplace, which is worth $1 million over 3 years.

-- 4Front has also just successfully renewed two of its largest

existing maintenance and support contracts with Halliburton,

Brown and Root and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The

Halliburton, Brown and Root contract has now increased and is

worth approximately $2.6 million per year, and total support

business with Tower Hamlets, including the recent new help-desk

contract, is now worth approximately $2 million over 3 years.

Anil Doshi, Chairman and CEO of 4Front said, "We are delighted to be working with a company such as ADP, which is a market leader in the automotive and computer service industries. We look forward to working closely with ADP on this contract which is one of the largest yet won by 4Front and which becomes the 18th contract worth over $1 million a year currently under 4Front management."

Naveen Judah, Finance Director of ADP Dealer Services (UK) Ltd, said, "We are very pleased to be working with 4Front in the UK and look forward to working closely with them. We are also interested in developing pan-European IT support partnerships for our European operations and we expect that 4Front's current expansion of its service capabilities in Europe will provide additional opportunities for ADP and 4Front to work together in the future."
