SPECIFIC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, SIGMA ACTUARIAL CONSULTING GROUP
WEB SITE MERGER UNDERWAY

Brentwood, TN, January 8, 2002 – Specific Software Solutions and SIGMA Actuarial Consulting Group announced today that a merger of the sister companies' web sites is underway. "Specific Software and SIGMA have been working together behind the scenes for many years," said Tim Coomer, president of Specific Software and CEO of SIGMA. "The synergies between our two companies are significant."

Al Rhodes, president of SIGMA, said, "Specific Software's products complement SIGMA's services, and vice versa. The new web site will provide a more visible way for insurance and risk management professionals to associate us with the full scope of products and services that our two organizations offer."

The new web site, which will remain at www.specificsoftware.com, already has some SIGMA information added. Changes in the coming year will include moderate navigational restructuring, improved search capabilities, and improved accessibility to  FAQs, training and articles.

"Our clients have been very complementary of our web site," said Coomer, "but we want to take it to a new level of information and functionality which adds value to the services we provide to our clients as well as insurance and risk management professionals in general."
