         EDGEWATER ANNOUNCES DISMISSAL OF SECURITIES LITIGATION MATTER

________________________________________________________________________________

     Wakefield, MASS. - May 30, 2001 - Edgewater Technology, Inc. f/k/a
StaffMark, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGW, www.edgewater.com, the "Company") today announced
that the appeal by the lead plaintiffs to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in
the securities litigation matter filed against the Company in 1999 has been
dismissed. The complaints that were filed in 1999 relating to this securities
litigation matter were consolidated into one complaint in January 2000. In two
different orders, in June 2000 and November 2000, respectively, the Honorable
Thomas Eisele of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Arkansas, Western Division granted defendants' motion and dismissed the
consolidated complaint and all of its allegations as being without legal merit.

     Following the November 2000 order by Judge Eisele, the lead plaintiffs
appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and that appeal has now been
dismissed. The effect of Judge Eisele's dismissal of the consolidated complaint
and the dismissal of the appeal to the Eighth Court of Appeals is that the
litigation is now concluded, without any finding of liability, obligation or
fault on the part of the Company or any of its officers or directors.

     Clete T. Brewer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We have
always stated that this litigation matter was without merit and Judge Eisele's
dismissal of the consolidated complaint and the dismissal of the appeal confirm
our views in this regard. We are pleased that this matter has been concluded
favorably on the Company's behalf, as we continue to transition our corporate
headquarters to Wakefield, Massachusetts and focus our resources and energies on
our eSolutions business."
