ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 1995--CIBER, Inc. (NASDAQ:CIBR) today announced the execution of a letter of intent to merge privately-held Spencer & Spencer Systems, Inc., St. Louis, Mo. into CIBER.

Spencer & Spencer will add approximately 17 percent to CIBER's size and create CIBER's presence in three new markets. Spencer & Spencer is presently running at an approximate $13,000,000 revenue annual rate with profitable operations. "This acquisition provides a solid foothold in America's heartland, an area that has demonstrated to be very strong in work ethics and corporate reliance on consulting services," said Stevenson.

"Spencer & Spencer adds significant expertise and highly experienced, committed systems consultants. Bob and Linda Spencer have done an excellent job of building a quality organization and reputation." Spencer & Spencer's corporate operations will be consolidated with CIBER's in Denver.
