CCC Information Services and Motor Information Systems Agree To Long-Term Partnership

                       Sign 20-Year Exclusive Contract

    CHICAGO, Sept. 1 -- CCC Information Services Inc.
and Motor Information Systems today announced a 20-year
agreement in which Motor will continue as CCC's exclusive collision database
provider for its Pathways(R) Collision Estimating and other estimating
products for the automotive claims industry.
    The new agreement marks the continuation of a partnership that began in
1991 when CCC delivered EZEst(R) Collision Estimating, the industry's
first-ever, PC-based automated estimating system, based on the Motor Crash
Estimating database.  In 1995, CCC introduced its next-generation,
Windows(TM)-based Pathways Workflow Manager and Collision Estimating which,
like EZEst, utilizes Motor's collision database.
    "Our ongoing relationship with Motor is a true partnership, and this
maximizes the value we bring to our mutual customers," commented Peter Largen,
CCC's senior vice president, product management.  "With another 20 years of
partnering ahead, we will continue to deliver the claims tools that increase
productivity, reduce costs and enhance customer service for our automotive
insurance and collision repair clients."
    "Motor is very pleased to secure this long-term relationship with CCC,"
said Kevin Carr, vice president and general manager at Motor Information
Systems.  "Our commitment to the partnership will ensure that CCC continues as
the premier provider of and recognized leader in automated collision
estimating."  He added that Motor will make significant investments to
maintain its position as provider of the world's most complete and accurate
estimating database.
