Business Editors

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., and SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2000

B2B Connect Inc., a leader in providing advanced networking services for multi-tenant high-rise office buildings, has selected CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), the leading orchestrator of e-business acceleration for the Internet-based economy, to support the information technology backbone that will be used to enable &uot;future-ready&uot;(TM) office buildings.

B2B Connect has selected CIBER to provide its scalable and comprehensive IT support and call-center management with ISO 9002 trained professionals. The initial projects under alliance result in a multi-year, multi-million-dollar relationship that B2B Connect and CIBER expect to grow significantly by the year 2001. An alliance with Cisco Systems, Inc. allows B2B Connect and CIBER to brand the result as a &uot;Cisco-Powered Network.&uot;

&uot;CIBER creates the scalable IT backbone, using our expertise in networking, e-business strategy and software to ensure that the physical infrastructure meets the technology needs for any enterprise in the building,&uot; said Paul Rudolph, CIBER's Chief Operating Officer. &uot;Landlords whose buildings meet B2B Connect's certification levels gain a value-added proposition when renting out their space, because it guarantees availability of advanced networking services. Tenants are increasingly demanding that these networking services be standardized in office buildings - eventually building owners will emphasize installing networks as much as installing plumbing.&uot;

&uot;We are extremely proud of this broad alliance with CIBER,&uot; said B2B Connect Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sunil Suri. &uot;The team of B2B Connect and CIBER will be the first nationwide integrated provider of multiple solutions for comprehensive onsite IT support coupled with a state-of-the-art QoS (Quality of Service) network to the desktop.
