Crystal Systems Solutions Ltd., Implementing Year 2000 Millennium Conversion Solution At Ford Motor Company, UK

    HERZLIA, Israel, Jan. 6 -- Crystal Systems Solutions Ltd.,
, a developer of conversion projects for mainframe computer
systems, various programming language upgrades and data field conversions,
today is pleased to announce that it is performing a Year-2000 Millennium
Conversion Project at the Ford Motor Company in the UK, in
conjunction with a leading local system integrator, Logica UK Limited.
    This project represents a new endeavor for Crystal Systems Solutions in
conjunction with the Ford Motor Company as, until now, Ford Motor Company has
licensed Crystal Systems Solutions' C-MILL Year-2000 conversion tool for its
own use.  For this project, Crystal Systems Solutions is actually performing
the conversion work partially at the Ford Motor Company in the UK and
partially at the Company's factory in Israel.
    "We are very pleased about the continuation of our ongoing, successful
relationship with the Ford Motor Company," said Amiram Mel, CEO of Crystal
Systems Solutions.  "This announcement may lead to further opportunities for
joint conversion ventures between the Ford Motor Company and Crystal Systems
Solutions.  This project marks the first of what Crystal Systems Solutions
believes will be many future projects utilizing the Telon language enhancement
to its C-MILL tool," Mel added.
    Crystal Systems Solutions Ltd., has developed and is focusing on marketing
an advanced, highly automated millennium solution for information systems in
the IBM MVS mainframe environment.  The Company provides software tools and
services which are used to solve the widespread problems caused by the
inability of certain information systems to properly interpret dates for the
year 2000 and beyond.
    The Company is also in the process of working with a number of leading
financial institutions in Europe to adapt its C-MILL tool to solve the
upcoming conversion problems associated with the move by the European Monetary
Union (EMU) to adopt a single EURO currency.  Some industry analysts estimate
that the dollar magnitude of the EURO currency related problem could be larger
than the estimate for the Year 2000 problem in Europe.
    This press release contains forward-looking statements.  Such statements
involve various risks that may cause actual results to differ materially.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: market demand
for the Company's product, successful implementation of the Company's product,
competitive factors, the ability to manage the Company's growth and the
ability to recruit additional personnel.
