            COVANSYS RECEIVES STAFF DETERMINATION LETTER FROM NASDAQ

    COMPANY WILL REQUEST A HEARING AND IS WORKING TO COMPLETE ITS REVIEW AND
     ANALYSIS OF ACCOUNTING ISSUES REGARDING CERTAIN PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, May [27], 2004 -- Covansys Corporation (NASDAQ: CVNS), a
leading global provider of strategic outsourcing and integration services, today
acknowledged its receipt of a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter dated May 26,
2004, notifying the Company that it has not complied with Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) requiring the timely filing of its Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As a result,
the Nasdaq Staff has indicated that Covansys' ticker symbol will be changed from
CVNS to CVNSE effective May 28, 2004. Further, the Company has been put on
notice that its securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market at the
open of business on June 4th unless the Company appends the staff's
determination at a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel. Covansys
intends to appeal the staff's determination at such a hearing. As a result of
this appeal, the Company's securities will continue to be listed pending the
Panel's final determination. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant
the Company's request for continued listing.

The delay in filing the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2004
is the result of a recently completed physical inventory of its fixed assets.
Covansys is working to resolve issues surrounding the proper accounting
treatment for physical losses and obsolescence of certain of the Company's
property and equipment, mainly computers and related peripherals previously
reported as having a current net book value of approximately $2.5 million (an
original cost of $15.7 million), or less than 1% of total assets.

On May 17, 2004, Covansys released selected first quarter operating results and
announced the delay in filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2004.
The Company intends to file its Form 10-Q as soon as possible following final
resolution of these issues, thereby allowing it to return to compliance with
Nasdaq filing requirements.
