Logica to Acquire Carnegie Group for $35 Million; Logica Looks to Expand its
Presence in the Growing Global Customer Care and Contact Arena

LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 1, /PRNewswire/ -- Logica plc today announced that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Nasdaq-listed Carnegie Group,
Inc., (Nasdaq: CGIX), a provider of solutions in the areas of customer
management and sophisticated decision support systems. Under the terms of the
agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both
companies, Logica will acquire Carnegie Group for $5.00 per common share,
payable in cash, for a total consideration of approximately $35 million.

The proposed acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Logica's ability
to provide leading edge customer contact and customer care solutions and
advanced decision support solutions to its financial services,
telecommunications, energy and utilities, and automotive clients globally.

Founded in 1983 at Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Group has been
successful in penetrating the US marketplace for customer relationship
management solutions. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and with 300
staff in seven US locations, Carnegie Group currently generates its largest
proportion of revenues from telecommunications operators. Key customers include
USWest Communications, Bell South Telecommunications, and First USA Bank.

Carnegie Group's board of directors has agreed to recommend acceptance of the
offer to its shareholders and will be accepting the offer in respect of their
own shareholding. Full details of the tender offer will be issued to Carnegie
Group's shareholders on or before October 8, 1998. Following the issue of the
tender offer document, Carnegie Group's shareholders will have a minimum of 20
business days to tender their shares. Any shares not purchased in the offer will
be acquired for the same price, in cash pursuant to a second-step merger. The
offer will be conditional upon Logica achieving over 50% acceptance and other
customary closing conditions. Shareholders and directors holding approximately
18% of the outstanding shares have agreed to tender their shares to the deal.

"This acquisition will create excellent synergy and accelerate growth
opportunities for Logica and Carnegie Group," comments Corey V. Torrence,
President and CEO of Logica Inc. "Together, we are well positioned to meet the
explosive global demand for customer care solutions."

"This is a very exciting opportunity for Carnegie Group," states Dennis
Yablonsky, CEO of Carnegie Group. "Becoming part of a successful worldwide
company like Logica, with its excellent pedigree and strong technical heritage,
is good news for our customers, our staff, and our shareholders."

 
Upon completion of the acquisition, Carnegie Group will form a separate customer
contact division within Logica Inc., reporting directly to Mr. Torrence. The new
division will be known as Logica Carnegie Group and will be run by Mr.
Yablonsky, from its existing headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.

"We have been seeking to expand our business in North America and are pleased to
have attracted an exciting company specializing in a high growth segment of our
market," said Mario Anid, Logica's corporate development director.

no material effect on Logica's earnings in 1998/99 (before goodwill
amortization) and that it will be earnings-enhancing in 1999/2000. About
