FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 1998--

Effort to address growing demand

from enterprises for interoperability support

BTG, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTGI) today announced a joint effort with Microsoft Corp. designed to meet the growing demand for enterprise-level integration and development support. The enterprise market is characterized by mixed computing environments composed of both UNIX and Windows NT operating systems. This effort addresses this need by providing companies and organizations with services and personnel trained in UNIX and Windows NT as well as in the integration of the two systems.

BTG will provide trained engineers that have expertise in UNIX and in Microsoft products, including Windows NT, Microsoft SQL Server, IIS, Site Server, and other products in the BackOffice family, as well as development tools for mixed computing environments. Microsoft will help facilitate training and provide marketing and pre- and post-sales support for the effort. Microsoft and BTG will collaborate on joint seminars, advertising, sales calls, and trade show exhibits.

Services to be provided include integration of UNIX and Windows NT-based applications, migrations from UNIX to Windows NT, enterprise deployments of BackOffice and Microsoft SQL Server-based applications, knowledge management and competitive intelligence systems, electronic commerce systems, and development of other enterprise-wide applications using Microsoft products.

BTG Senior Vice President Chip Bumgardner said: "We are excited to be able to combine BTG's legacy of UNIX integration and development with our extensive knowledge of Windows NT-based systems and Microsoft products. Many enterprises have both UNIX and Windows NT-based systems that are an integral part of their computing strategy. Our ability to ensure the interoperability of these systems is critical to our clients' continued productivity and competitiveness."

"In addition," Bumgardner said, "many enterprises are considering the migration of functions from UNIX to Windows NT, which requires high levels of interoperability as well as detailed knowledge of both environments. That's what BTG and Microsoft can provide. We see the demand for Windows NT-based integration, development, and deployment services as one of the hottest markets in all of our business sectors."

"We are pleased to work with BTG to facilitate enterprise integration and UNIX and Windows NT-based interoperability," said Sam Jadallah, Vice President of the Organization Customer Unit at Microsoft Corp. "BTG's experience in the government intelligence sector positions them to be a major player in the integration of Microsoft products into solutions for the competitive intelligence and knowledge management marketplace."

BTG has a number of initiatives underway that demonstrate the growing demand for Microsoft Windows NT-based solutions. As prime contractor for the U.S. Government's Joint Deployable Intelligence Support System, BTG recently completed a Windows NT-based capability that will augment the 5,000+ seat UNIX systems currently deployed. The company estimates that 1500-2000 NT-based units will be added to JDISS over the next year. This effort involved the migration of over 50 commercial and Government applications from UNIX to Windows NT. BTG also recently completed a conversion of the U.S. military's Central Command Theater to a Windows NT-based architecture with over 500 Windows NT-based systems.

In the Federal civilian government market, BTG has completed development of the FAA's Operations Specifications Subsystem (OPSS), in which a Windows NT-based client/server infrastructure of replicated Microsoft SQL Server databases supports more than 100 Flight Standards District Offices. Nationwide training and installation, which begins this summer, will result in the deployment of the OPSS application to several hundred Safety Inspectors and Field Office LAN administrators.

BTG is a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider Partner, as well as a certified participant of the Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Interoperability Partner (EIP) program.
