AIG Selects LinuxForce for Service and Support

   AIG Direct has signed a contract with LinuxForce to provide Interim
service and support for their E-commerce site. 
   
   Philadelphia, PA - May 16, 2000 -  LinuxForce will provide a support
function (including planning and implementation roles) for AIG personnel
and sub-contractors performing a site relocation to an in-house
facility. Charles B. Fleming, President of LinuxForce said, "Our experience
in directing similar moves in the past has demonstrated the critical
requirement of extensive detailed planning to execute a trouble free
migration for a mission critical `in operation' site."
   
   The implementation phase requires an oversite function with LinuxForce
staff available to resolve unexpected occurrences, to keep the move on
schedule and insure that server functionality is restored in a timely
fashion. LinuxForce will also provide independent auditing, analysis and
reporting services.  Included in the contract is the administration of
Solaris and NT systems as well as an Oracle Database.
