  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
  
  
  PREMIS Corporation to Seek Shareholder Approval for 
  Liquidation of Assets
  
          MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 08 - The board of directors of PREMIS
  Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board:PMIS) announced today that it
  will propose the liquidation of the company to its shareholders.
  To protect shareholder assets, the company will wind down its
  Canadian subsidiary and consolidate its operations in the
  United States pending a shareholder vote on liquidation of
  the company's assets.  The company expects to mail proxy materials
  regarding the proposal no later than March 22.
  
          This decision follows the unsuccessful exploration of
  various options by the company, including a search for a
  corporate partner, strategic alliance or buyer for the company.
  
          The company's initial strategy was the development of
  OpenEnterprise, which has three primary components:  PREMIS
  OpenStore, a comprehensive in-store-point-of-sale and back office
  system; PREMIS OpenNet, a unified family of communications and
  PREMIS networking products to expand headquarters operations out
  to the stores; and PREMIS OpenOffice, an integrated head office
  retail management system.
  
          "We believe we have a competitive product offering under
  development but we have reluctantly concluded we lack the resources
  to complete development and build a strong sales and marketing 
  effort simultaneously," said Fritz Biermeier, president and 
  chief executive officer.  "We will continue to seek a buyer 
  for the software technology.  We expect the net assets in the 
  near timeframe to be not less than 90 cents per share, which 
  is the current market valuation of the company at the close 
  of business on Feb. 5, 1999. This per share estimate includes 
  the receipt of the second payment of $3.25 million under the 
  company's contract with NCR Corporation, a payment which is 
  expected but not guaranteed."
  
          The per-share estimate may also be affected by the tax 
  treatment of distributions by the U. S. and Canadian tax authorities,
  the company said.
  
          Pending approval to liquidate, the company intends to lay 
  off most of its employees by the end of May 1999 and complete 
  the majority of its wind-down efforts by the end of July 1999. 
  The company currently employs 31 people in its Canadian operations,
  11 in the United States.
  
  The company said its obligations to creditors will be satisfied 
  with existing resources.  The company anticipates that the members
  of the board of directors and management will resign upon the
  completion of the process of winding down operations.
  
  The press release may contain forward-looking statements that are
  made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private
  Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Future events may involve
  risks and uncertainties, among which are uncertainties related to
  the final development and market acceptance of proposed new
  products, actions by competitors which could affect sales,
  shareholder approval of proposed corporate actions, satisfaction
  of the conditions for receipt of the additional payment under
  the Company's contract with NCR Corporation, management of
  product transitions, the Company's ability to control costs, tax
  treatment of distributions by U. S. and Canadian tax authorities
  and the Company's ability to liquidate its assets on terms
  favorable to its shareholders.  These forward-looking statements
  involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be
  different.  In addition, the results of the Company continue to
  be highly dependent upon the timing of customer orders.  The delay
  in any customer order could have a material adverse impact on
  the results of the company.
