Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 9, 2005, Answerthink, Inc. (“Answerthink”), The Hackett Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Answerthink (“Hackett”), and Lawson Software, Inc. (“Lawson”) jointly announced that Hackett and Lawson entered into an Advisory Alliance Agreement (the “Agreement”). A copy of the joint press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The Agreement identifies joint programs in which Hackett will provide Lawson and its clients and prospects with, among other things, access to Hackett benchmarking tools, best practices research and business advisory services in exchange for the payment of specified program fees. The term of the Agreement commences on May 9, 2005 and continues until May 31, 2008 unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Lawson and Hackett have the option to extend the terms of the programs upon mutual written agreement, and Lawson has the right of first offer to continue one of the programs at the end of the term of the Agreement at a commercially reasonable rate. Hackett has agreed to provide certain exclusivity rights to Lawson in connection with certain of its programs if the following minimum program sales fees are received by Hackett: months 1 through 15- $2,675,000; months 16 through 24-$4,500,000; and months 25 through 36-$7,000,000. None of the foregoing program sales minimums represent guaranteed payments, however, $2,050,000 is contractually committed to be paid by Lawson in months 1 through 15, subject to Hackett’s satisfaction of the terms of the Agreement. Hackett agreed that it and its business partners will not enter into an agreement with certain of Lawson’s competitors with respect to some of its services and products, subject to Lawson making scheduled payments to Hackett and making the aforementioned specified minimum program sales payment. Under the Agreement, Lawson will pay Hackett fixed program fees, for certain programs, and a per unit price based on the number of units sold with respect to these Hackett programs.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
