CIBER CLOSES DCI ACQUISITION

        GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.—May 6, 2002—CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) today announced the closing, effective April 30, 2002, of the acquisition of Decision Consultants, Inc. (DCI), a $100 million national information technology (IT) services company.

        "The closing of this combination went very smoothly. Since first announcing it on April 8, we proceeded to structure and close the financial pieces. There was strong demand for the equity piece, led by Stifel Nicolaus and RW Baird, totaling $15 million dollars. Wells Fargo, our commercial bank, increased their facility by more than $20 million in a very timely manner. We are grateful to all of these participants," said Mac Slingerlend, president and chief executive officer, CIBER. "In addition, "thanks" to Wachovia Securities and Updata Capital, who assisted CIBER's review of the combination, and Thatcher Penn Group, who aided Jack Krasula and DCI.

        "We are pleased to get this done in a very tough stock market environment," Slingerlend continued. "The IT services sector, which has been demand challenged for almost three years, is showing sparks of a comeback. We believe CIBER is well prepared and the DCI acquisition is timely. We continue to believe the combination will be accretive in 2002, beginning in July, after duplicate costs have been removed.
