Intergraph and MCI Join Forces to Market IT Solutions

HUNTSVILLE, AL, MAY 9, 1996 -- Intergraph Computer Systems (ICS) and MCI
Communications Corporation announced today a joint marketing agreement to
bring cost-effective Internet/Intranet solutions to businesses. Through
the joint marketing alliance, the two companies will combine efforts to
offer Intergraph's award-winning, open-architecture Windows NT-based
InterServe Web Servers and support services along with MCI's first-class
communications infrastructure and high-end migration services.

As part of MCI's Alliance program, Intergraph and MCI will market each
other's services and products to form a total solutions package for users
developing external (Internet) and internal (Intranet) web sites.
Intergraph will provide high-performance Pentium and Pentium Pro
processor-based workstations and servers, as well as support services that
have a reputation for satisfying customers. Both Intergraph and MCI will
provide expert consulting and implementation support.

"Intergraph is proud to offer our products and services together with the
high-end IT expertise of MCI," said Wade Patterson, president of
Intergraph Computer Systems. "This agreement will help open up our
high-performance graphics workstations and servers to a whole new group of
telecommunications, IT and MIS customers in hundreds of thousands of
companies in the U.S. who may not be aware of Intergraph's powerful
InterServe Web and MP servers."

"The joint marketing of Intergraph's Windows NT-based servers and MCI's
communications infrastructure will benefit both companies' customers,"
added Vince Corica, MCI vice president of business sales and service. "By
enabling businesses to choose a full range of Windows NT-based services
and solutions that are economical, high-performance and well-supported, we
are bringing them the tools they are searching for today... simplicity,
convenience and value, and all from a single source."

Intergraph and MCI have previous success in partnering on joint solutions
for customers in the banking, retail, entertainment, and manufacturing
markets. For example, both companies were the exclusive sponsors in their
categories for the official Academy Award's web site, "The Envelope,
Please." This web site, powered by Intergraph's InterServe Web Servers and
MCI's communication tools, experienced over 1.6 million hits on Oscar
night.

Based on the needs of each customer, Intergraph and MCI will present joint
solutions that provide customers with customized systems for network
communications and Internet/Intranet presence. The Intergraph/MCI
agreement takes effect immediately. Prices for products and services sold
as part of this agreement will vary depending upon the size and scope of
the purchase.
