Strategic   Investment  in  Open  Methods   Limited   ('Open
Methods')

The Company announces that on 14 July 2000 it acquired a  26
per  cent.  interest in a newly established  business,  Open
Methods.

Open Methods has been established by 3 individuals, who have
previously worked with I S Solutions, and commenced  trading
in  April of this year. The company has been established  to
develop  and deploy new methodologies for internet based  IT
projects.

As a result of deploying the methodology, organisations will
be  able  to  produce  the  necessary  components  of  their
strategic vision more quickly, more cheaply and to a  higher
quality.  The  methodology will be offered  as  open  source
material, with Open Methods generating revenue as  a  result
of training and consultancy based upon the product set.

The  total  consideration of £100,000 has been  provided  by
equity  and medium term loan.  Upon completion, Peter  Kear,
Sales Director of I S Solutions, will become a non-executive
director of Open Methods.

Commenting on this strategic interest John Lythall, Managing
director of I S Solutions said:

' Having worked on projects with Open Methods we have a high
regard  for  their  management team  and  believe  that  our
strategic interest will enable IS Solutions to influence the
development of internet methodologies. It will also  provide
access  to  high  quality consultants  as  well  as  related
training for our own staff'
