Business Editors

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2000

Xpedior(TM) Incorporated, (Nasdaq:XPDR), a leading provider of eBusiness solutions, is helping Allstate Insurance Company, one of the largest Property & Casualty insurance providers in the U.S., develop an Intranet application to better manage projects within its Property and Casualty organization.

As the insurance industry becomes increasingly competitive and fast-paced, Allstate saw an opportunity to improve its efficiency and management of projects by replacing its traditional manual, paper-based project management system with an Intranet-based tool.

Xpedior has been awarded the contract to develop this Intranet application for Allstate's Property and Casualty organization. The tool will bring enhanced project reporting, automated workflow and knowledge sharing capabilities to the organization, helping it to improve quality, efficiency, and project management accountability.

"We have revised and refined our project management processes over the past year to incorporate considerable rigor, which has yielded improved quality and, in turn, increased capacity. We were very pleased with the results and are now looking to bring technology to bear on those processes for even greater gains," said Andy Rieder, Allstate's Assistant Vice President - Compliance. "We began working with Xpedior in late 1999 to analyze our new business processes and design an Intranet solution that would support the process and our people. The collaborative capabilities we'll have in the new environment will accelerate our projects and improve quality at the same time. Xpedior has been commissioned to develop the new system, which is expected to be delivered in October, 2000."

The Intranet application will be available to the P & C division of Allstate and will manage all Discretionary, Maintenance and Compliance projects, which are projected to be approximately 2,000 annually.

"Large companies are increasingly using Intranet-based applications to improve and manage internal processes," said Cindy Pogrund, vice president of Xpedior Midwest. "The Intranet application we're developing for Allstate is a prime example of how new technologies enable efficiency, speed and communication gains in existing processes. The tool will provide vast project tracking and reporting improvements enabling Allstate to maintain a competitive edge. Xpedior's Intranet development experience coupled with our proven track record in insurance/financial services uniquely positions us to build an application that best meets Allstate's full business process needs."
