                 JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES COMPLETES THE PURCHASE

             OF THE COMMUNITY BANKING BUSINESS OF BROADWAY & SEYMOUR


Monett, Mo., June 30, 1995 - Jack Henry & Associates (NASDAQ:JKHY) a leading
vendor of computer software and hardware to community banks in the U.S. an-
nounced that it has completed the transaction to purchase the Community Banking
Business (CFI) of Broadway & Seymour (BSIS) with locations in Charlotte, NC; St
Paul, MN; and Houston, TX.  Broadway & Seymour, like Jack Henry & Associates
("JHA"), markets software to banks.  The unit had an installed base of approxi-
mately 340 customers in over 35 states.  The cash transaction requires a total
of $12,000,000 in payments over a twelve month period.
     Michael E. Henry, Chairman & CEO for JHA, stated the Company is very
excited about the CFI purchase.  It clearly establishes the Company as the
premier leader in providing in-house banking software and services using IBM
mid-range systems.  The end result is a stronger and more capable JHA with the
combined resources and capabilities of both units.  This transaction could add 
revenues in excess of $15,000,000 and provide JHA more opportunities for growth
and profitability than any prior acquisition per Mr. Henry.  Mr. Henry also
indicated the CFI customers will appreciate the same quality service and support
JHA's customers receive on a daily basis.  This continues the Company's plans to
provide growth through occasional strategic acquisitions.
     Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. provides integrated computer systems and ATM
networking products for banks and other financial institutions.  JHA markets and
supports its systems throughout the United States and overseas.  The Company has
over 1230 customers worldwide.
