ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2000

CIBER, Inc. (NYSE:CBR), the trusted technology leader transforming businesses to be agile, scalable and connected, today announced that its .com in-a-box(TM) Internet solution is expanding Tilia Inc.'s online capabilities through an e-business strategy and web-based platform that will extend customer relationships and supply chain efficiencies throughout its enterprise.

Tilia is a San Francisco-based manufacturer and distributor of the FoodSaver(TM) line of commercial-quality vacuum packaging machines and accessories for home use.

CIBER will implement a variety of technologies that will serve as the foundation for Tilia's e-business strategy, including revamping the corporate web site to enable the company to capture more information about each customer by streamlining all of its customer "touch points" -- phone, fax, e-mail and call centers. To improve its growing business-to-business model and to continue to enhance its business-to-consumer technology, Tilia engaged CIBER to deliver .com in-a-box supercharged, helping Tilia to accommodate a much larger distribution to Tilia's mega-retailer clients such as Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Costco.

CIBER's .com in-a-box is the first, end-to-end strategic Internet solution bundled with brands like Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Verio Inc. to give companies a first-to-online market presence that enhances their profitable growth and customer service. Simple and modular in design, .com in-a-box is customized, installed quickly and maintained easily. The three versions of .com in-a-box -- robust, turbo and supercharged -- offer increasing levels of functionality and are implemented by CIBER's expert consultants in just 60, 90 or 180 days, respectively.

"CIBER's .com in-a-box is a fast and clean solution, which will give us the speed to market that is so critical in such a competitive industry," said Linda Graebner, Tilia Chief Executive Officer. "Our company is enjoying tremendous growth. However, we don't want growth at the expense of customer service, and good customer service is critical in winning brand loyalty and repeat business."

CIBER assessed Tilia's capital and labor infrastructure and developed an information technology roadmap, which charts a two-to-three year strategy and the steps to achieve it. CIBER recommended a combination of platforms and components to manage Tilia's customer relationships across the supply chain, including network infrastructure, network security, enterprise software, Internet redesign and renavigation, and expert support to ensure that all of this technology functions smoothly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The company's web site is www.tilia.com.

"When the implementation of CIBER's .com in-a-box solution is completed, Tilia will have effective, world-class customer relationship management (CRM) and multiple customer touch points throughout its growing enterprise," said Steve Kinstler, .com in-a-box Program Director and CIBER Vice President. "Strong CRM will enable Tilia to take its customer service to the next level at any time. In addition, the solution will strengthen Tilia's relationship with its retail partners as the company's online presence grows and will automate many of the company's core business processes, thereby reducing its cycle times and labor costs."
