``Although a gratifying year as to financial results, 1999 has been and continues to be a watershed year for our industry. We are beginning to see forward-thinking corporate strategies, which will be followed by spending, the pattern that has existed for over a decade. However, spending up-ticks are yet to commence at several clients. Calendar 2000 will see the re-emergence of operational increases for both CIBER and our industry sector as a whole,' stated Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's Chief Executive Officer. ``The paradigm shift to Electronic Business is so pervasive that only the nimble of us will benefit as the next millennium commences. We have positioned CIBER to become the next billion-dollar global systems integrator. We are beginning to generate a larger transaction pipeline that will bear fruit next year. As important, we will also see CIBER become known, creating `mindshare' from our new branding initiative that simply doesn't exist today. We are very encouraged that our new operational structure and strategies will converge with spending patterns as this fiscal year progresses.'
``CIBER continues to deliver strong e.Business solutions to our clients. Our delivery spans all industries with concentration in communications, finance, manufacturing and government. In 1999, over 25% of our business was specifically delivering e.Business enablement. In addition, CIBER has successfully focused on expanding our relationships with several clients into multi-year, multi-million-dollar engagements. Our strategy of longer, deeper relationships with an e.Business focus is being accelerated in fiscal year 2000,' said Paul Rudolph, CIBER's Chief Operating Officer.
