                 LHS INTRODUCES OBJECT-ORIENTED NEXT GENERATION
                       CUSTOMER CARE AND BILLING SOFTWARE

ATLANTA/FRANKFURT, February 22, 1999 -- LHS Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LHSG/ Neuer
Markt: LHI) today announced the launch of its object-oriented next generation
customer care and billing software "Targys -- the millennium series" for the
global telecommunications industry. The key benefits of Targys include limitless
scalability and seamless integration with other software, regardless of hardware
and operating systems. Targys makes development of task-specific user interfaces
a simple matter of "drag and drop". Moreover, it is equipped with complete
Internet functionality for remote sites, as well as customer self-care. All
Targys applications will be fully compatible with LHS' existing customer care
and billing system BSCS.

The first application of the Targys series is now in use at Swisscom AG Mobile,
Bern, Switzerland. "The needs of our customers in the global telecommunications
marketplace have changed significantly over the years. Due to increasing
competition, service providers need to continuously roll out new products.
Consequently, new business processes have to be integrated into the customer
care and billing system in a cost and time-effective manner," said Hartmut
Lademacher, LHS Chief Executive Officer.

Targys is based on a multi-tiered component-based architecture employing Java as
implementation language. It allows plug-and-play interoperability with other
software that supports CORBA 2, an industry standard introduced by the Object
Management Group (OMG).

Targys comes with an optional graphical user interface construction kit,
allowing customers and system integrators to implement user interfaces according
to specific workflows. "The introduction of this series of applications
signifies a completely new direction in our product strategy," said Dr. Hansjorg
Beha, LHS Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "Targys is
designed to give our customers the greatest possible flexibility. Its open
system approach allows customers to quickly adopt new business processes and
facilitates easier replacement of legacy systems -- an important future market."

Dr. Beha further explained that the Targys Customer Inquiry Application is the
first in a series of components to be rolled out throughout 1999. The series
will include five additional applications: Order Management; Customer Care;
Customer Self-Care (Web Service Center); Corporate Account and Back Office.

Daniel Staub, Head of Billing and Customer Support Systems at Swisscom AG Mobile
commented: "With Targys, we've experienced quicker processing speed -- our
service personnel will be able to access customer information even faster.
Targys will also deliver increased flexibility, speed and simplicity in adapting
our billing and customer care system to future business requirements." LHS will
introduce and first demonstrate Targys at a press conference February 24, 1999,
during the GSM World Congress, in Cannes, France.
