      INFOCROSSING COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF HEALTHCARE PROCESSING BUSINESS
                          FROM VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS


LEONIA, NJ, OCTOBER 4, 2004 - INFOCROSSING, INC. (NASDAQ: IFOX), a provider of
selective IT outsourcing and business processing solutions, announced today the
closing of the previously announced acquisition of a segment of Verizon
Information Technologies Inc. (VITI) that provides managed care, Medicare, and
Medicaid processing services. The sale was structured as an acquisition of the
common stock of VITI. VITI was a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc.
(NYSE: VZ). The purchase price was $43.5 million cash. Immediately following the
closing of the transaction, VITI's name was changed to Infocrossing Healthcare
Services, Inc.

"We're pleased to conclude this acquisition and add healthcare claims processing
to our growing list of data center-based IT and business process outsourcing
capabilities," stated Zach Lonstein, Infocrossing's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. "The acquisition provides Infocrossing with a large base of commercial
and government accounts, greater expertise in business processing, and a
highly-skilled team," Mr. Lonstein added. "Further, the acquisition launches
Infocrossing into a growing market of value-added transaction services that
leverage our national data center infrastructure and complement our existing
outsourcing solutions," Mr. Lonstein concluded.

Infocrossing paid the $43.5 million purchase price by drawing the entire
available balance of approximately $24.4 million from an existing line of credit
provided by CapitalSource Finance LLC and the remainder with available cash. The
acquisition is expected to add more than $35 million in annual revenue, and be
accretive on an earnings per share basis.
