ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

         OVERVIEW

         The business of American Management Systems, Incorporated and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries ("AMS" or the "Company") is to partner with clients to
achieve breakthrough performance through the intelligent use of information
technology. AMS is the premier provider of Next Generation Enterprise business
and technology solutions that dramatically improve business performance and
create value for our clients. AMS provides a full range of consulting services
from strategic business analysis to the full implementation of solutions that
produce genuine results, on time and within budget. AMS's suite of eBusiness
strategy, management and technology services makes business reinvention possible
in Internet time for large organizations. AMS measures success based on the
results and business benefits achieved by its clients.

         AMS is a trusted business partner for many of the largest and most
respected organizations in the markets in which it specializes. AMS is a company
that transforms organizations into Next Generation Enterprises. A key element of
this is establishing an extensive network of strategic alliances, partnerships
and joint ventures to provide "best of breed" solutions and to extend AMS's
market reach in all of the Company's target markets. Further, the Company is
establishing organizations with different business models to leverage the
Company's assets in new ways and create additional market value. Each year,
approximately 85-90% of the Company's business comes from clients it worked with
in previous years.

         The Company, which operates as one segment, focuses on clients in
specific sectors which are referred to as target markets. The Company is
targeting high value sectors within these target markets and striving to be the
market leader in providing Next Generation Enterprise solutions. Organizations
in AMS's target markets -- telecommunications firms; financial services
institutions; state and local governments and education organizations; federal
government agencies; and other corporate clients -- have a crucial need to
exploit the potential benefits of information and systems integration
technology. The Company helps clients fulfill this need by continuing to build a
professional staff which is composed of experts in the necessary technical and
functional disciplines; managers who can lead large, complex systems integration
projects; and business and computer analysts who can devise creative solutions
to complex problems. The Company is focused on accelerating international
growth, and the Company is investing in establishing a strong AMS brand and
identity to support the growth.

         Another significant component of AMS's business is the development of
proprietary software products, either with its own funds or on a jointly funded
basis with other organizations. These products are principally licensed as
elements of custom tailored systems, and, to a lesser extent, as stand-alone
applications. The Company expended $102.3 million in 1999, $77.4 million in
1998, and $50.6 million in 1997 for development associated with proprietary
software. The Company expensed in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements $47.1 million in 1999, $35.4 million in 1998, and $30.7 million in
1997 for research and development associated with proprietary software,
including amortization. In 1999, the Company reduced the unamortized costs by
$21.8 million representing collections from funding partners, compared to $14.8
million in 1998. As a percentage of revenues, license and maintenance fee
revenues were less than 10% during each of the last three years.

         As part of its growth strategy the Company has formed a cross-target
market practice that will focus on delivering high-value, customer-facing Web
solutions - including eBill, eCare and eMarketing - tailored to clients in the
financial services, telecommunications, government and utilities sectors. These
solutions will help firms achieve greater cost savings, deliver improved
customer service



                                       1

and leverage cross-sell and up-sell opportunities in their markets. The new
"eCustomer" practice builds upon the Company's existing, significant eCommerce
client base. In 1999, the Company expanded its direct eBusiness revenue to
approximately $117 million and its eBusiness related revenue to more than $500
million, both increases of more than 150%. Given the rapidly evolving digital
economy and the critical role of eBusiness, AMS has begun to implement a
strategy that clearly positions the Company for success in this fast changing
environment. The vision driving the strategy is to be the premier provider of
Next Generation Enterprise business and technology solutions that dramatically
improve business performance. AMS will provide leading edge eBusiness services
and solutions to transform both private and public organizations into Next
Generation Enterprises - organizations fully utilizing emerging technologies to
succeed in the digital economy.

         In order to serve clients outside of the United States, AMS has
expanded internationally by establishing subsidiaries or foreign branches.
Exhibit 21 of this Form 10-K provides a complete listing of all twenty-one
active AMS subsidiaries (and branches), showing name, year organized or
acquired, and place of incorporation. Revenues attributable to AMS's non-US
clients were approximately $226.7 million in 1999, $208.4 million in 1998, and
$248.6 million in 1997. Additional information on revenues and assets
attributable to AMS's geographic areas of operation is provided in Note 12 of
the consolidated financial statements appearing in Exhibit 13 of this Form 10-K.

         Founded in 1970, AMS services clients worldwide. AMS's approximately
9,000 employees serve clients from corporate headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia
and from 59 offices worldwide.

         TELECOMMUNICATIONS FIRMS

         AMS markets systems consulting and integration services for order
processing, customer care, billing, accounts receivable, and collections, both
for local exchange and interexchange carriers and for cellular/wireless
telephone companies. Much of the Company's work involves developing and
implementing customized capabilities using AMS's application software products
as a foundation.

         FINANCIAL SERVICES INSTITUTIONS

         AMS provides information technology consulting and systems integration
services to money center banks, major regional banks, insurance companies, and
other large financial services firms. The Company specializes in corporate and
international banking, consumer credit management, customer value and global
risk management, bank management information systems, and retirement plan
systems.

         STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND EDUCATION

         AMS markets systems consulting and integration services, and
application software products, to state, county, and municipal governments for
financial management, tax and revenue management, human resources, social
services, public safety and transportation functions, and environmental systems.
The Company also markets services and application software products to
universities and colleges.

         FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

         The Company's clients include civilian and defense agencies and
aerospace companies. Assignments require knowledge of agency programs and
management practices as well as expertise in computer systems integration.
Services provided by AMS include information technology, consulting, operations
and maintenance support, large scale systems integration and certain Year 2000
remediation. AMS's work for defense agencies often involves specialized
expertise in engineering and logistics.



                                       2

         OTHER CORPORATE CLIENTS

         The Company also solves information systems problems for the largest
firms in other industries, including health care organizations and firms in the
gas and electric utilities industry. AMS has systems integration and operations
projects with several large organizations and intends to pursue more. AMS
provides technical training and technical consulting services in software
technology for large-scale business systems.

         PEOPLE

         People are AMS's most important asset and its success depends on its
ability to attract, retain and motivate well-qualified people. The Company's
largest investment in recent years has been in recruiting, assimilating, and
developing its people.

         AMS recruited and successfully assimilated approximately 2,300 new
staff members in 1999, including 475 in Europe. About 35% of the new staff
members came from the Company's college and university recruiting program.

         AMS recruits individuals for a career and hires a balanced mix of
recent university graduates and experienced professionals who have demonstrated
extraordinary technical, analytical, and/or management skills. A large number
have advanced degrees in management, computer science, public policy, or
engineering.

         Individuals are assigned to one of the Company's market-oriented groups
to develop expertise in the areas needed for solving its clients' problems.
Transfers between these groups occur regularly to meet the shifting needs of
clients. Performance, in terms of productivity, quality of work, and creativity
in solving problems, determines an individual's advancement. This motivates
staff members to increase their knowledge of AMS's clients' businesses and
industries, to stay current with the technology most suited to AMS's clients,
and to develop the consulting and managerial skills needed to produce results.

         The Company launched a strategic initiative in 1998 to implement a more
integrated, structured career and leadership development program. To drive this
program the Company established "AMS University" as the focal point for expanded
training and development activities. By linking learning resources directly to
the skills required to perform key roles that drive the business, and by
structuring a development program that includes required as well as elective
courses, the Company believes it can accelerate the development of individual
capabilities and the overall capacity of the Company to take full advantage of
market opportunities.

         COMPETITIVE FACTORS

         AMS's competition comes primarily from the management services units of
large public accounting firms and consulting and systems integration firms. In
addition, prospective clients may decide to perform projects with their in-house
staff.

         AMS seeks to meet this competition by exploiting its industry-specific
knowledge, its expertise with important business functions and with new
technologies, its proprietary computer application products, and its experience
in managing very large design and implementation projects. Although price is
always a factor in clients' decisions, it is typically not the major factor.
Other important factors are proven experience, the capabilities of the proposed
computer application products, the quality of the proposed staff, and the
proposed completion time for the project.



                                       3
   7

         AMS is significantly expanding its systems integration capabilities by
augmenting its delivery expertise and establishing key alliances and
partnerships with "best-of-breed" software providers. Combining this expanded
delivery capability with AMS's thought leadership consulting provides major
market growth opportunities.

         MARKETING, CONTRACTS, AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

         Marketing is performed principally by the senior staff (executive
officers, vice presidents, senior principals, and principals) and by a
relatively small number of full-time salespersons for each large market. In the
U.S. Government markets, AMS replies selectively to requests for proposals,
concentrating on those closely related to previous work done for the same or
similar customers. Certain of the Company's software products and computer
services are sold by a small group of full-time salespersons and, for those
products and services, AMS advertises in trade publications and exhibits at
industry conventions.

         For large systems integration projects, AMS typically contracts for one
phase (design, development, or implementation) at a time. Many contracts may be
canceled by the customer on short notice with appropriate compensation to the
Company for actual work performed. Most contracts with federal government
agencies allow for termination for the convenience of the government and for an
annual audit. No contracts are subject to renegotiation at the client's option.
AMS generally contracts either on the basis of reimbursement of costs plus a
fixed fee, a fixed or ceiling price for each phase, unit rates for time and
materials used, or services sold at unit prices. In most cases, AMS receives
monthly or milestone progress payments.

         In 1999, the Company worked on projects directly for 112 U.S.
Government clients, representing a total of $288.2 million, or 23% of revenues.
No other customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues in 1999.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         Headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, the Company's principal operations
occupy approximately 1,208,000 square feet of office space under leases expiring
through 2011. The Company also has other long-term lease commitments totaling
approximately 606,000 square feet with varying expirations through 2011 at other
locations throughout the United States.

         Additionally, the Company's international staff occupies approximately
255,000 square feet of office space outside of the U.S. at locations under
leases expiring through 2006.

         With regard to its operating environment, the Company maintains and
operates a large- and mid-range computing environment at the AMS Data Center in
Fairfax, Virginia. In addition to physical and data security, the AMS Data
Center facilities include conditioned power, A/C, UPS, and fire suppression. The
Company leases its computing equipment including mainframe processors, small and
mid-size servers, and communications equipment.

         The Company believes its facilities and equipment continue to be
adequate for its business as currently conducted.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         As previously described in the Company's Forms 10-Q filed May 17, 1999,
August 13, 1999 and November 15, 1999, the State of Mississippi sued AMS in
April 1999, alleging claims for breach of contract, bad faith breach of
contract, and unjust enrichment, and seeks various forms of injunctive relief as
well as compensatory damages. On May 24, 1999, AMS filed an answer and
counterclaim for payment for certain deliverables accepted by the State,
including work in progress. Discovery continues and is expected to be completed
by the second quarter of 2000. AMS expects to continue to contest the lawsuit
vigorously.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of 1999.

reports thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and the
supplementary financial information, contained in the Company's 1999 Financial
Report, are incorporated herein by reference in accordance with General
Instruction G(2) of Form 10-K.


ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
         FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

         On July 31, 1998, at the Company's regularly scheduled meetings of its
Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the
Company accepted the resignation of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP because of
conflicts of interest resulting from the July 1, 1998 merger of Price Waterhouse
LLP and Coopers & Lybrand LLP. The Company and Coopers & Lybrand LLP have
long-standing business relationships which both parties wish to continue. In
view of the independence requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding the independence of certifying public accountants, the Company and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP mutually determined that it would be inappropriate
for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to continue as the Company's accountants. Price
Waterhouse LLP was the Company's independent certifying accountants for 28
years. As a result of the



                                       6
   10

above circumstances, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors thereupon
appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent certifying
accountants for fiscal year 1998.

         During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the annual financial statements have neither
contained any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions, nor have they been
qualified or modified. During such two year period, and through July 31, 1998
there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports on the financial statements for such years.
