In addition, we will elect our directors and ratify the appointment of our independent accountants.

Annual Report

      Our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 is enclosed with this Proxy Statement.

Information About this Proxy Statement

      You are receiving this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement contains the information we are required to provide to you under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is designed to assist you in voting your shares. On May 4, 2001, we began mailing these proxy materials to all shareholders of record at the close of business on April 9, 2001.

Information About Voting

      You can vote on the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting in two ways:

•  By Proxy — You can vote by signing, dating and returning the enclosed voting card. If you do this, the individuals named on the card (your “proxies”) will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify on your voting card whether your shares should be voted in favor of or against the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, for all, some or none of the nominees for director and whether your shares should be voted for or against the ratification of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company’s independent accountants. If you do not indicate instructions on the voting card, your shares will be voted for the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, for the election of all the nominees for director and for the ratification of Arthur Andersen as our independent accountants for the 2001 fiscal year.

•  In Person — You may cast your vote in person when you attend the Annual Meeting.

      You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, Thomas E. Sizemore, by providing a later dated proxy or by voting in person at the meeting.

1

      Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on an as-converted basis. As of April 9, 2001, we had 37,278,134 shares of voting stock outstanding.

Quorum Requirement

      To hold a valid meeting, a quorum of shareholders is necessary. If shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for establishing a quorum and against the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker votes on some matter on the proxy card but not on others because the broker does not have the authority to vote on the other matters.

Information About Votes Necessary for Action to be Taken

      If a quorum exists, the adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the shares entitled to vote. Five directors will be elected at the meeting. If a quorum exists, each director must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting to be elected. The ratification of the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as our company’s independent accountants requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter. Abstentions and non-votes will count as a vote against the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and have no effect on the results of the votes on the election of directors and the ratification of independent accountants.

Cost and Method of Soliciting Proxies

      The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by our company. Our company may use the services of its officers, directors and others to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, without additional compensation.

Other Matters

      The Board of Directors does not know of any other matter which will be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement. Generally, no business other than the items discussed in this Proxy Statement may be transacted at the meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, your proxies will act on such matter in their discretion.

PROPOSAL 1.

AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

      The Board of Directors is proposing to change the legal name of our company from “Complete Business Solutions, Inc.” to “Covansys Corporation.” Our company recently launched a branding effort to distinguish the Company’s services and has adopted a new logo. The new Covansys Corporation name will better align our company with these branding and marketing initiatives. An affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding would allow the Company to amend its articles of incorporation to accomplish the name change.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME.

PROPOSAL 2.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      Our Board of Directors is divided into classes and, as a result, the terms of our directors are staggered. Each director class serves a three-year term.

If elected, Mr. Bealmear will serve a 2 year term as a Class I director.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

      The Covansys Compensation Committee is comprised of three directors who are not employees of the company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the approval and administration of compensation programs for the executive officers of Covansys. In conducting its review of executive compensation matters, the committee utilizes the compensation data and advisory services of an independent compensation consultant. Our compensation policy for executive officers is intended to:

•  provide competitive compensation packages in order to attract and retain superior executive talent;

•  link a significant portion of an executive’s overall compensation to financial results as reflected in the value returned to shareholders; and

•  provide long-term equity compensation to align the interests of executive officers with those of shareholders and reward successful performance.

Cash Compensation

      Cash compensation for executive officers is based primarily on an analysis of competitive executive compensation. The Compensation Committee relies upon general business compensation surveys to determine appropriate compensation ranges. The Committee also relies upon the analysis of an independent compensation consultant to determine the appropriate level of cash compensation for executive officers.

      Our policy is to pay executive officers at the competitive averages for comparable positions. Compensation levels for individual executive officers, may be greater or less than competitive averages, depending upon a subjective assessment of individual factors such as the executive’s position, skills, achievements, tenure with the Company and other historical factors.

Equity Compensation

      Equity compensation is provided to executive officers principally through the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Option awards under the Plan are determined based upon the achievement of various predetermined goals relating to budgeted financial performance or the achievement of operating targets and goals. Generally, awards under the Plan vest over a four year period to ensure that the decisions made by officers consider the long-term best interests and continued financial and operational growth and achievement of the Company.

      Awards of stock options to executive officers during the year under the Plan are made at the then current fair market value of the common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. Making awards at the then

8

current fair market value ensures that the options only become valuable upon the continued appreciation of the stock price. In administering the Plan in this manner, the Compensation Committee strives to align the interests of executive officers with the interests of shareholders.

Chief Executive Officer’s Compensation

      Mr. Bealmear, who joined the Company on June 1, 2000, received a salary of $291,667, which was based on the prorated compensation provided in his employment agreement. Mr. Bealmear was also awarded a bonus of $375,000 in 2000. The bonus was guaranteed pursuant to his employment agreement and was prorated based on his date of hire. Mr. Bealmear has elected to defer payment of this signing bonus until 2001. Mr. Bealmear also was granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.50 per share. In addition, Mr. Bealmear was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares at an exercise price of $35.00 per share and options to purchase an additional 250,000 shares at an exercise price of $50.00 per share. The options vest as follows; 25% of the options vest after 2 years, an additional 25% of the options vest after 3 years and the remaining 50% vest after 4 years.

On March 17, 2000 the Company and Mr. Vattikuti entered into a new, five year employment agreement which provides for his employment as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors for an initial term and automatic renewals so that the term of the agreement is always five years unless either party elects not to extend the term. The agreement provides that Mr. Vattikuti will receive a base salary in 2000 of $500,000 and a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary.

      The agreement with Mr. Manney provides for his employment as Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration for an initial term and automatic renewals so that the term of the agreement is always three years unless either party elects not to extend the term. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $180,000, a bonus in an amount not to exceed 60% of his base annual salary, to be determined by the Compensation Committee, and benefits under the Company’s benefit plans. Special death and disability benefits are also included.

9

2.5 times his base salary in effect immediately prior to such termination and the greater of his most recent bonus or bonus received immediately prior to such bonus. The agreement contains a restrictive covenant that prohibits Mr. Manney from competing anywhere in the world with the Company’s businesses during any period in which he receives compensation and for one year after the cessation of such compensation.

      On June 1, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Michael W. Bealmear. The agreement provides for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement is for a term of five years with an initial minimum base salary of $500,000, subject to annual adjustment by the compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Bealmear was awarded a bonus of $375,000 to be pro-rated over the year. He is also eligible for an annual incentive bonus up to 100% of his base salary as determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Bealmear is eligible to participate in the other benefit plans and programs of the Company including health, disability, and retirement plans. In the event that Mr. Bealmear is terminated without cause, he will receive his base salary for two years following his termination.

      On May 26, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Timothy M. Wolfe. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $300,000 and a signing bonus of $500,000. Upon completion of one year of service with the Company, Mr. Wolfe is to receive a $250,000 bonus and upon completion of two years of service, he will receive an additional $250,000 bonus.

(1)	The dollar amounts indicated in these columns are the result of calculations required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which assume specified stock value appreciation. These growth rates are not intended by Covansys to forecast future stock price appreciation of Covansys common stock. In the event the Company’s stock price does not exceed $21.00 per share, the options would not result in any profit for the holder.
(2)	The exercise price equals the fair market value of Covansys common stock as of the date the options are granted as quoted on NASDAQ and as determined by the Compensation Committee.
(3)	Generally, options are exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date the option was granted.
(4)	Mr. Bealmear was granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $21.50 per share, 250,000 shares at $35.00 per share at 250,000 shares of common stock at $50.00 per share. The options vest as follows: 25% after 2 years, 25% after 3 years, and the remaining 50% vesting after 4 years. The Potential Realizable Value calculation is based upon a 5% and 10% price appreciation from $21.50 per share. In order for Mr. Bealmear to derive any profit from the options with exercise prices of $35.00 and $50.00 per share, the Company’s stock price would have to appreciate approximately 67% and 138% respectively over the next 10 years.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors operates under a written charter adopted by the Board and attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in its oversight function of monitoring, among other things, the Company’s financial reporting process and the independence and performance of the Company’s independent accountants. It is the responsibility of management of the Company to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and of the Company’s independent accountants to audit those financial statements.

      Throughout the year, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent accountants. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees).

      In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent accountants, the accountants’ independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). Further, the Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent accountants is compatible with maintaining the accountants’ independence.

      Further, the Committee meets with the independent accountants, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

      Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      Currently, the Audit Committee consists of four directors, two of which, Mr. Douglas S. Land and David H. Wasserman are not independent as defined in the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers. The Board appointed Mr. Land and Mr. Wasserman based on its belief that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for Mr. Land and Mr. Wasserman to serve on the Audit Committee. Following the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will be reconstructed to be comprised solely of independent directors.

Vattikuti. The Trust acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Synova in exchange for 750,000 shares of Covansys common stock owned by the Trust. In addition, the Company received an $8,000,000 secured promissory note from Synova which is guaranteed by the Trust. The promissory note requires the payment of interest only for five years with interest accruing at rates beginning at LIBOR plus 2% in the first two years of the loan escalating to LIBOR plus 5% in the fifth year. The terms of the sale were the result of arms-length negotiation between the Company and Mr. Vattikuti and was approved by a special committee of the board of directors comprised of Messrs. Conway Land, and Stanley and supported by a fairness opinion obtained from an investment banking firm.

      The Company has provided loans to the following officers and directors, the due date, interest rate and principal balances as of December 31, 2000 of which are as follows:

	Due		Interest		Principal

Stanley, for business consulting services relating to Mr. Stanley’s role as chairman of the special committee of the Board of Directors that evaluated and recommended the sale of $200,000,000 of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in March of 2000.
