Computer Horizons Expands ERP Training and Consulting Capabilities by Acquiring Enterprise Solutions Group, LLC ESG.

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1998--In a move that increases its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities and bolsters its strategy for providing total IT solutions beyond the Year 2000, Computer Horizons (NASDAQ:CHRZ) today announced that it had acquired the assets of Enterprise Solutions Group, LLC (ESG) of Cincinnati, Ohio.

ESG is a technology-based organization that provides training and educational services as well as consulting services for Fortune 500 corporations. These include such notable companies as Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble, Eli Lilly, Motorola, Lucent Technologies, Coca-Cola, Philip Morris and John Deere.

According to a study released by industry analyst firm IDC, the U.S. ERP education and training services market was $770 million in 1997 and is expected to exceed 30% growth over the next five years. ESG reported it is on target to generate approximately $5 million in revenues for 1998.

ESG, an SAP Certified Training Partner, specializes in the delivery and implementation of client/server applications and technologies that facilitate efficient and accurate enterprise wide business solutions. ESG employees have detailed knowledge in the areas of Application Configuration and Processing, Operating Systems, Databases, Programming Languages and Application Development.

"Our networking capabilities will be key to our growth during the next several years. ERP is quickly becoming an industry requirement and ESG will enable Computer Horizons to respond to this increasing demand," said John Cassese, Computer Horizons Chairman and CEO. "With this acquisition we will be able to leverage our relationships with our strategic client base by being an SAP provider as well as a provider of leading edge technology across a company's enterprise."

ESG also works with SAP's Certified Business Solutions Partners who sell SAP software and solutions to companies with revenues below $250 million. This reflects the results of the IDC study, which indicated that the ERP training market growth will be fueled by the success of ERP applications as well as by the recent strategic move of ERP vendors into the mid-market and end-user training arena.

"Our goal at ESG is to provide our customers with the highest quality consulting and educational services and to help computing organizations implement client/server applications in an ERP environment," said Shelton James, ESG President. "We are confident that as part of Computer Horizons we will be able to continue providing the highest level of service to an increased client base."
