CIBER Leads Competition With e.Business Pyramid; Deployable Electronic Business Model Offers Strategic Structure With Flexibility.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 1999--

CIBER Inc. (NYSE: CBR), a leading provider of e.Business services, today announced that it has secured a major competitive advantage with the establishment of its e.Business Pyramid, a critical business model for companies moving from traditional business models to the electronic business world.

"The e.Business Pyramid defines the full spectrum of elements involved in Electronic Business," said Paul Rudolph, Chief Operations Officer, CIBER, Inc. "The pyramid aligns all the components of electronic business to the core business; addresses the issues of interdependencies and integration; identifies the technical requirements and issues; reviews client, supplier and staff requirements; then allows the business to implement a packaged e.Business solution that meets their needs, easily, within their existing environment.

"We have taken what many in the industry have been talking about and developed an implementable business model from which we help businesses launch or re-invent their electronic business endeavors," said Rudolph. "Many companies are delivering pieces of e-business solutions based on tactical strategies; our goal was to deliver a proven e.Business model first, from which companies could develop their strategic e.Business plan, then help them identify the tactical plan based on the strategic e.Business goals."

The e.Business Pyramid is comprised of five strategic elements critical to successful electronic business. These elements encompass technical, supply chain, customer, enterprise and strategic e.Business objectives and are evaluated within the context of their unique requirements, then reviewed for interdependencies and integration issues. Because each element is defined based on itself and its interrelationship, clients are able to develop an electronic business strategy that spans the enterprise yet allows them to implement components of the Pyramid individually, in groups, or all at once, without negatively impacting or fragmenting their overall electronic business goals.

"We believe this model provides the strategic framework and flexibility required for companies to move into e-business," said Rudolph. "e.Business is not an all-or-nothing venture in its deployment, but is an all-or-nothing venture in its strategic planning if you want to be an effective electronic business. The e.Business Pyramid gives clients the flexibility and strategic direction this kind of change requires, while providing for a deployment that does not disrupt or negatively impact a company's current business and internal environment."
