ISH EXPANDS BUSINESS INTO NEW PRACTICE AREA

Adds Services for Law & Public Safety Organizations; New Practice Leader Joins Expert Staff

WEST ORANGE, N.J., September 4, 2002 - ISH, Inc., a professional services and business operations improvement company, today announced the addition of a new Law & Public Safety practice area. The new service is headed by Law & Public Safety Practice Leader Kyle Kaskiw, who joins ISH with more than 20 years of industry experience.

The ISH Law & Public Safety practice will offer IT-enabled management solutions to law and public safety agencies looking to optimize their organizations' performance. As with ISH's other practice areas, the company employs specialists who have expert knowledge of the latest technologies and hands-on experience in meeting industry-specific challenges.

Prior to joining ISH, Kaskiw was employed by the State of New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of State Police, as a State Trooper for 15 years. His tenure included a five-year assignment with the Records and Identification Section in the Criminal Justice Records Bureau, working primarily with the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) Unit. In this role, Kaskiw was solely responsible for developing the training curriculum for the State Police in use of these technologies. He has also worked as a Sheriff's Officer and Corrections Officer for the County of Middlesex and has held a number of positions with the local Fire Service and Emergency Medical Service Rescue squads.

"With today's increasing attention to public safety issues, we believe our expertise in IT enabled management solutions will bring measured value to the law and public safety industry," said Kaskiw. "We will work with law and public safety organizations to make best use of all available resources and increase work efficiency to maintain high standards of excellence. This becomes critical as operational performance impacts the safety of the public."

The ISH Law & Public Safety practice specializes in strategic planning, hardware and software selection, systems implementation and integration, process redesign, end user training and development of High Tech IT-Enabled Security Solutions. To further enhance service offerings, ISH has developed strategic partnerships with leading law and public safety companies, including ComputerCOP Corp, Larimore Associates, and CRIMSON Associates.

"The value that we offer our clients is in the expert knowledge of our people, and we're very pleased to have Kyle join the team," said Jeffrey J. Ulliano, President and CEO of ISH. "Our goal is to show law and public safety organizations how to unlock the value of their IT investments, while guiding them to organizational and operational excellence. Kyle's knowledge of law and public safety best practices and industry technologies, together with his deep understanding of the industry culture, will prove invaluable as we expand our business to service law and public safety organizations."

About ISH:
Headquartered in West Orange, N.J., ISH is a business operations improvement company. In 1989, ISH was established as a hands-on professional services firm with a unique business proposition: to deliver exponentially greater value and measurable return on IT investments and software applications implementation.

ISH was founded on the premise that most businesses waste significant funds, executive time and effort re-engineering new software packages to conform to their current business processes, rather than re-designing new processes and work flows to fully capitalize on the power of their technologies and the abilities of their people.

The marketplace has enthusiastically confirmed this premise, and ISH has now helped more than 500 clients nationwide. ISH leverages insights and best practices to improve clients' financial and operational performance in the Healthcare, Higher Education and Law & Public Safety industries.
