Exhibit 10.25.1

                                         FIRST ADDENDUM TO
                      MASTER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. MNS00352199

         THIS ADDENDUM ("Addendum"), with an effective date July 26, 1999, is
entered into by and between BellSouth MNS, Inc. ("BellSouth") and Predictive
Systems, Inc. ("Predictive). The Addendum modifies Master Professional Services
Agreement No. MNS00352199, with an effective date of May 14, 1999 ("MPSA").

         WHEREAS, the parties have entered into a MPSA which enables Predictive
to perform professional services for BellSouth; and

         WHEREAS, the parties have determined that certain rules of engagement
and restriction of actions should be added to the MPSA;

         NOW, THEREFORE IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, BellSouth and Predictive agree to amend the MPSA by adding the
following terms to the MPSA:

15. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

          a. During the Term of this Addendum, Predictive shall have a right of
             first refusal to perform the services itemized in Schedule 15.1,
             which BellSouth obtains the opportunity to perform. Prior to
             submitting a written proposal for such services to a potential
             Customer, BellSouth shall submit to Predictive an offer ("Offer")
             describing the proposed Project in reasonable detail, including the
             services to be performed by Predictive. Predictive shall have two
             (2) business days after receipt of the Offer (the "Offer Period")
             to inform BellSouth whether Predictive wishes to perform and is
             capable of performing the services. During the Offer Period,
             BellSouth shall respond promptly and in good faith to requests by
             Predictive for additional information with respect to the proposed
             Project. If Predictive accepts the Offer within the Offer Period,
             Predictive shall have the right to perform such services as an
             independent contractor to BellSouth. If Predictive rejects such
             offer or fails to accept the same within the Offer Period,
             BellSouth shall have the right to engage another independent
             contractor to perform such Project under the same terms offered to
             Predictive or to perform the same itself.

          b. Attached hereto as Schedule 15.2 is a list of existing and
             potential Predictive customers located within the existing
             BellSouth customer territory. Such customers (and services provided
             by Predictive thereto) shall not be subject to this Addendum.
             Schedule 15.2 shall be updated periodically to reflect changes to
             this customer list, as

                                  CONFIDENTIAL
                                                                     Page 1 of 4



             obtained by Predictive through its own sales efforts and not in
             violation of this Addendum, subject to the agreement of BellSouth
             which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          c. Except as set forth herein and in the MPSA, there shall be no
             limitations on the parties' respective activities, including,
             without limitation, their ability to offer independently and for
             their own accounts services marketed jointly by them pursuant to
             this Addendum.

          d. Upon termination of the MPSA this Addendum shall be considered null
             and void. Furthermore, either party may terminate this Addendum at
             any time by providing the other party with thirty (30) days written
             notice of its intent to terminate the Addendum. At this time all
             materials, written and electronic, developed solely by Predictive
             Systems relating to services outlined in Schedule 15.1 must be
             returned to Predictive and BellSouth must refrain from marketing or
             selling Predictive's independently developed methodology. Such
             materials and methodology shall constitute "Information" for
             purposes of the Nondisclosure Agreement ("NDA") dated as of March
             24, 1999, between Predictive and BellSouth. Such materials and
             methodology shall not be included in documents and other materials
             considered to be the property of BellSouth under section 12
             (Proprietary Rights) of the MPSA.

          e. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties, Predictive
             agrees that any opportunity being jointly pursued by Predictive and
             BellSouth under this Addendum, i.e. any opportunity which is
             subject to a written proposal, will not be pursued by Predictive
             independently. It is further agreed that except for customers
             released as set forth herein, during the term of this Addendum, and
             for six (6) months after the termination of this Addendum,
             Predictive will not pursue any customer introduced to them by
             BellSouth in either a pre-sales effort that resulted in proposed
             work from Predictive or actual services delivered. The parties
             agree to jointly develop and maintain a list of customers that
             Predictive is prohibited from independently pursuing. Such list is
             attached hereto as Schedule 15.3, and shall be updated from time to
             time. At least once per quarter, Predictive and BellSouth will
             review the customer account(s) on Schedule 15.3 to determine
             whether the appropriate activity levels for the sales of Predictive
             services are being met. The criteria for this evaluation should
             include but not be limited to the number of proposed projects and
             the revenue associated with those proposed projects. In the event
             BellSouth and Predictive both agree that the requisite activity
             levels are not being met for the reviewed customer account(s), and

                                  CONFIDENTIAL
                                                                     Page 2 of 4



             neither party can conceive a solution to increase activity levels,
             BellSouth will release Predictive to pursue business independently
             for the purpose of such account(s). Said agreement and release
             shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          f. For purposes of sections (b) and (e) of this Addendum, the term
             "customer" shall be deemed to refer to the operating or business
             unit as to which the relevant customer decision-maker exercises
             purchasing authority. As a result of the forgoing definition, the
             parties acknowledge and agree that a single entity may contain
             several "customers" for purposes of section (b) and (e) of this
             Addendum.

          Except as expressly modified by this Addendum, the MPSA shall remain
in full force and effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Addendum has been executed BellSouth and
Predictive by their duly authorized representatives.

The following is Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. MNS 00352199 effective January

         the event of any inconsistency between the rates shown in the SOW
         (Exhibit "A") and Exhibit "C", the rates agreed upon in the mutually
         executed SOW shall govern. Effective January 1, 2000, the 'volume' of

     2.  Section 15, "Business Guidelines", is hereby added to the Agreement and
         shall state as follows:

         have declined to participate in the Project and Predictive Systems will
         not be bound by the restrictions contained in this Paragraph in regards

About Predictive Systems
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predictive Systems is a network consulting and integration firm that specializes
in the design, management, and security of business-critical networks.
Recognized in the industry for its vendor-independent perspective, the firm's
expertise lies in solving multi-faceted, complex network problems. At Predictive
Systems, network technology serves two purposes: to make money and to save
money.

Predictive Systems' unique BusinessFirst(TM) methodology helps Fortune-1000
clients define, package, and measure network services. BusinessFirst is rooted
in the concept that a company should run its IT organization as a business.
Throughout the BusinessFirst process, Predictive Systems translates strategic
business objectives into sound, achievable technology solutions. This approach
ensures that the technology never obscures the business goals.

Predictive Systems' BusinessFirst methodology can clarify the business
requirements driving the project in specific, measurable terms. Predictive
Systems quantifies factors such as business risk, total cost of ownership, and
operational efficiency to build a complete financial justification for a network
project. By instrumenting every system to measure and quantify the key factors
that govern success, Predictive Systems turns complexity into clarity.

Predictive Systems serves its clients with a collaborative practice structure
that delivers both breadth and depth of experience to all aspects of a project.
Predictive Systems has the people and processes to build networks that mean
business.

Predictive Systems' services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predictive Systems offers a unique combination of expertise in network
management, performance management, internetwork engineering, information
security, and software development. Predictive Systems' engineers combine skill
in network management applications with real-world experience using
state-of-the-art internetwork technologies, including Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) and Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), to address the
multi-faceted challenges of designing and managing mission-critical networks.
When technology "gaps" are discovered in a client's network, or disparate
systems need to communicate with one another, Predictive Systems' software
developers build custom applications to solve these problems. These custom
applications can turn a collection of products into an integrated system.

Predictive Systems' practice areas
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predictive Systems' consultants are organized into areas of specialization, or
practice areas. Although many engineers are cross-skilled in a variety of
technologies, and many technologies span multiple practice areas, each practice
area represents an aspect of network technology important enough to warrant
specialization. In addition, the Software Development and Technical Publications
departments span all practice areas. Resources from all of these groups are
available to define and implement the technological solutions that best meet our
clients' business needs.
