Business/Technology Editors

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 2002

Aberdeen Group, Inc., a leading technology market analysis and positioning services firm, is moving its Boston headquarters to 260 Franklin St., 17th floor, Boston, over the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

Aberdeen will remain in its offices at One Boston Place, 29th Floor, through the end of the business day on Thursday, August 29. The Boston office will be closed on Friday, August 30, to accommodate the move, and we will reopen at our new location on the morning of Tuesday, September 3, following the Labor Day holiday.

The new office is located one block from Post Office Square in the heart of Boston's Financial District. It is a five-minute walk from our current headquarters and remains convenient to Logan International Airport.

"Aberdeen has been at One Boston Place since 1994 and the location has served us well," says Aberdeen President and CEO Tom Willmott. "Nevertheless, we are very excited about our move to 260 Franklin St. We believe it will continue to be convenient for our customers and will provide an environment in which our employees can continue to deliver high-value consulting to them."

We are working hard to ensure a seamless transition for our customers. However, for a brief period -- from 5 p.m. Thursday, August 29, to 5 p.m. Friday, August 30 -- Aberdeen customers may find it difficult to reach us, as we transition our telephone and e-mail service to the new location.
