Business/Technology Editors

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2001

Covansys (Nasdaq: CVNS), a global technology services company, announced today that the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has awarded them a contract to maintain and enhance the Indiana Support Enforcement Tracking System (ISETS). ISETS is Indiana's statewide child support information and disbursement system. Covansys was awarded the contract through the State of Indiana's competitive bid process.

ISETS was developed to meet federal and state regulations and received federal certification in July of 2000. The contract awarded to Covansys is valued at approximately $22 million.

"ISETS is an invaluable tool for managers that helps custodial parents and children receive the financial support that is due them. Since 1995, annual child support collections have increased from $177 million to more than $350 million. Indiana has a great ratio of return on its efforts, receiving $5.45 for every dollar expended in administration," said James M. Hmurovich, director of the Division of Family and Children for FSSA. Hmurovich added, "Government, no matter how well intentioned, cannot and should not attempt such important initiatives on its own. Partnerships with businesses that support our mission are critical to our success."

For more than a decade, Covansys has provided public sector solutions to more than 20 states in the areas of health and human services, transportation, public retirement systems, labor and tax and revenue systems.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to continue our long standing partnership with FSSA," said Covansys Vice President Jeff Mooers. "FSSA and Covansys have a shared vision of delivering the best possible services to the people of Indiana."

The Covansys partnership with the state of Indiana on the ISETS project is one of many such partnerships for the company. Covansys provides similar services in North Carolina and Ohio, as well as in several other states.
