Inventory and Track All Enterprise IT Assets Automatically

RALEIGH, N.C., February 7, 1996 -- For companies that want to inventory and
track all of their enterprise IT assets automatically, Tangram Enterprise
Solutions, Inc. now offers the first Software Development Kit for
customization of electronic asset discovery plus eight new platforms
supported by Tangram Enterprise Asset Manager.

Since many enterprises have unique assets, the extendible asset discovery
that the Software Development Kit offers provides a complete and
comprehensive view when combined with the extensive inventory and tracking
capabilities of Tangram Enterprise Asset Manager.

"Knowing almost everything about the IT assets that span your enterprise is
simply not enough when trying to make sound business decisions," said W.
Christopher Jesse, President and CEO of Tangram. "Our asset tracking
solution features expansive discovery capabilities, but with our new
Software Development Kit, companies can also easily inventory and track
their unique hardware and software."

Using the Software Development Kit, companies can create custom discovery
modules to inventory and track non-standard hardware, software and even
specific files containing information that normally could not be
discovered electronically. For example, a cellular phone -- although not
attached electronically to the network -- can be inventoried by entering
data about the phone into a file and storing the file on an electronically
accessible computer.

In addition to the Software Development Kit, Tangram's Consulting Services
Group is available to create new modules to discover unique enterprise IT
assets regardless of the platform. If a lack of time or resources
prohibits a company from using the Software Development Kit to create its
own custom discovery modules, the Consulting Services Group can create
these modules for customers, allowing them to focus on other critical
projects.

Expanded platform support makes Tangram Enterprise Asset Manager even more
beneficial for large, heterogeneous enterprises. New platforms include
Solaris, HP-UX, SCO OpenServer, AIX, Windows NT, Windows 95, NetWare and
Macintosh.

Tangram's Software Development Kit for Windows is available now and costs
$5,000. Software Development Kits for additional platforms will follow.
Tangram Enterprise Asset Manager starts at $51,250 for 250 clients.

For more than a decade, Tangram Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (OTC:TESI) has
provided distributed resource management solutions including software
distribution and asset tracking and management for major organizations
throughout North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Tangram's
product lines support the leading, industry- standard client/server and
local area network environments, including Solaris, HP-UX, SCO OpenServer,
AIX, OS/2, Macintosh, DOS, Windows, Windows NT, Windows 95, NetWare, and
MVS, as well as a myriad of connectivity options such as APPC, TCP/IP,
IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, SDLC, X.25 and asynchronous communications. Tangram is a
member of the Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. partnership of companies.
