Press Release Summary: Acquisition Signals Expansion of Infogain's business in
Oracle ERP services market

Press Release Body: Infogain Corporation, a leading provider in CRM, ERP,
Integration and Business Intelligence Solutions and Services, today announced the
completion of its acquisition of Spider Systems, Pune, India. The acquisition
immediately establishes Infogain as a strong player in the ERP market space with the
ability to deliver Oracle ERP services in response to current customer requests and
strong market potential. With the acquisition Infogain is one of the only mid-size
firms that provide services for Oracle Applications, Peoplesoft, Seibel, Oracle
Fusion, as well as Oracle Retail.

The acquisition of Spider is part of Infogain's strategy to become a leading
business process solution provider for mid-market companies, a logical next step in
the evolution of the company\'s ERP and integration services. This strategy is
expected to result in greater opportunities for Infogain to deliver complete
solutions in the Oracle ERP space to its clients, including full life cycle
implementations, migrations to Oracle Apps 11i, development and customization of
reports and interfaces, pre- and post-implementation audits, and post-implementation
support both onsite and offshore. With the acquisition of Spider, Infogain is the
first among global enterprise IT services companies to offer an Oracle DBA "Think
Tank", a specialized team supporting the company's 75+ Oracle DBA's as they solve
complex database and design issues. More information on Infogain's Oracle ERP
services is available at www.infogain.com/eit/erp.jsp.

The acquisition brings Infogain's strength to close to 1,000. It also expands
Infogain's Peoplesoft capabilities to include university implementations of
Peoplesoft HRMS. Infogain brings functional, technical and project management
expertise for effective, high quality implementations.

Announcing this key development, Mr. Kapil Nanda, CEO, Infogain Corporation said,
"The acquisition of Spider is a major step in the expansion of Infogain's Oracle ERP
business. Our vision is to be a recognized leader and trusted partner by providing
high quality, high value software solutions to the retail, high tech, and software
industries. We are honoured to provide these services to our combined client base
of more than 75 companies across the globe."

The Pune team will operate as a division of Infogain and will be headed up by Mr.
Rajan Bhatnagar, currently Managing Director of Spider Systems. The 20,000
square-foot center in Pune will offer Infogain access to the current team of 150 and
a new talent pool. Plans for expanding what types of work are done in Pune will
unfold with Infogain's continuing growth and will enable Infogain to capitalize on
talent from different regions.

"Spider System's area of focus has been to provide comprehensive consulting services
in the areas of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Oracle DBA services. Its
frameworks and other Oracle Apps-related IP will enhance Infogain's repertoire of
unique value-adds." added Mr. Nanda. Spider's customers include Deepak Nitrite,
ITC, Gati, Thermax, and Rucha Industries among many others.

The Spider business will function as an Infogain company and will ultimately be
fully integrated into Infogain's operations, with the former Spider headquarters
functioning as an ERP center of excellence.
