Exhibit 1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 30, 2001

Group 1 Software Acquires Digital Billing Provider TriSense

Group 1 to Offer Industry’s First and Only Single-Source Solution Providing Fully Integrated Digital and Paper Billing Composition and Delivery

     Lanham, MD — Group 1 Software (Nasdaq: GSOF) announced today that it has acquired the assets of TriSense Software Ltd., a Minneapolis-based provider of digital billing and payment software. With the acquisition, Group 1’s DOC1 product suite will provide the industry’s only fully integrated system for digital and paper composition — and multi-channel delivery — of personalized customer relationship communications.

     DOC1 composes tens of millions of personalized bills, statements and letters each month for over 450 major organizations worldwide, including such notable firms as ADP, American Express, British Gas, and Charles Schwab. The acquisition will permit the combination of DOC1 and TriSense’s three-in-one digital delivery and payment processing technology into a single, seamless solution that will compose personalized documents for delivery via a customer’s preferred channel. TriSense’s patented technology offers highly secure bill delivery three ways: to a corporate or hosted Web site, to leading third-party consumer service portals such as Excite and America Online, and to a consumer’s desktop via e-mail. These important new features will enable DOC1 users to collect and process online payments while avoiding the resource utilization and costs associated with developing and maintaining a standalone digital delivery and payment application.

     “With the TriSense acquisition, we are leveraging Group 1’s financial strength to acquire technology and talent that complement our DOC1 products and core competencies,”said Bob Bowen, CEO of Group 1 Software. “We will continue to explore opportunities to grow through acquisitions that augment and strengthen our core solutions. While this acquisition is expected to be dilutive in the near term, we have significantly expanded our digital delivery and payment capabilities at a very reasonable price. Now Group 1 is very well positioned to take advantage of what the Gartner Group projects to be a massive and rapidly growing market. Some 15 million households are expected to pay their bills online next year, rising to 33 million in 2004 and 70 million in 2009.”

     “The TriSense acquisition enables us to provide the total solution for composition and delivery of paper and digital customer communications,” said Alan Slater, general manager of the DOC1 Division. “The TriSense team’s expertise in the development, sales and marketing, installation and support of digital delivery and payment systems is an excellent complement to DOC1’s strengths. Businesses now have unprecedented flexibility to provide their customers with a clear choice in how they wish to receive and pay their statements and bills.”

     “Electronic billing presentment and payment (EBPP) makes little sense as a function disconnected from other forms of customer communication,” said David Yockelson, SVP and Director at META Group. “Combining the ability to create personalized correspondence such as statements, invoices, and letters with a robust electronic delivery mechanism will provide a more holistic solution and potentially reduced total cost of ownership for customers.”

     Group 1 anticipates releasing a fully integrated DOC1-TriSense solution by this summer. In addition to its turnkey solution, TriSense also offers its three-in-one bill delivery technology via Digitalbilling.net, a hosted ASP service. The acquisition of assets by Group 1 will involve a total price of $8.1 million, payable $1.5 million up front with two subsequent annual payments of $3.3 million each. The impact of the acquisition is estimated to be dilutive to operating income, in the range of $0.06 — $0.08 for the first 12 months, excluding amortization of intangibles related to the purchase price.

     (i)  The failure of TriSense to transfer to Group 1 all of the right, title and interest of Trisense to the Assets, or of the third party that owns such Assets and for which Trisense has agreed to obtain conveyance to Group 1 as provided in Section 1, in each case free and clear of all liens, other than Permitted Liens and otherwise as described herein;

     (ii)  Any breach of any representation or warranty of TriSense contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate or document delivered by them pursuant hereto; and

     (iii)  Any breach of any covenant or agreement of TriSense contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered by them pursuant hereto requiring performance after the Closing Date;

     (iv)  The Excluded Liabilities; and

     (v)  The inability of TriSense or Group 1 to prevent another party to a TriSense’s BSP Agreement, Service Bureau Agreement or Service Provider Agreement, because of language contained in the assignment clauses of such agreements, from terminating that agreement on the grounds that the assignment of that agreement hereunder was made without their consent.

     (b)  Indemnification by Group 1. Group 1 agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless TriSense and its current and past officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “TriSense Indemnified Parties”) from all Losses incurred by the party being indemnified from:

     (i)  Any breach of any representation or warranty of Group 1 contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, certificate or document delivered by Group 1 pursuant hereto;

     (ii)  Any breach of any covenant of Group 1 contained in this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered by Group 1 pursuant hereto; and

     (iii)  The Assumed Liabilities.

19

     (c)  Third Person Claims. Promptly after any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim, or a threat of a claim, against the Indemnified Party by a natural person or business entity (a “Person”) not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Person”) or the commencement of any covered action or proceeding by a Third Person, that Indemnified Person shall give the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification only if the Indemnified Party delivers such notice to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party as set forth in Section 9. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the Loss and shall be given as promptly as practicable. The Indemnifying Party shall have right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any personnel, books, records or information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the selection of any counsel selected by the indemnifying party to defend hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied and to participate in any matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense so long as there is not a conflict of interest with counsel for the Indemnifying Party ); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall always be lead counsel and shall determine all litigation and settlement steps, strategy and the like. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently and in good faith pursues such defense and otherwise indemnifies and holds the Indemnified Party harmless, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a final and complete settlement of any such Third Person claim, such settlement shall require as an unconditional term thereof that the Third Person deliver to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim. If the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Section with respect to such Third Person’s claim shall be limited to the amount so offered in settlement by said Third Person and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any additional costs of defense which it subsequently incurs with respect to such claim; provided, however that such limitation shall not apply to claims in respect of taxes or intellectual property claims or claims arising out of misuse of personally identifiable data, for which no settlement shall be made without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied. If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or fails to diligently or in good faith pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other liabilities or reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

     (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party, in respect of any Losses referred to therein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such persons, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such persons as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the actions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relative equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation, lawsuit or legal or administrative action or proceeding

20

     (e)  Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party which does not involve a claim by a Third Person, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and estimated amount of the Loss (if reasonably determinable) related to such claim or claims, with reasonable promptness. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification only if the Indemnified Party delivers such notice to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party as set forth in Section 9. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) business days after delivery of such notice by the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnified Party’s notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations of the Basket Amount and Cap described below. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute for a period of thirty (30) business days. If such dispute has not been resolved by such time, such dispute shall be resolved fully and finally by an arbitrator selected pursuant to, and an arbitration governed by, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute within 120 days after selection and judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The place of arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota if initiated by Group 1 or the Washington, DC metropolitan area if initiated by TriSense. If a Third Person raises a claim or threat of a claim related to an arbitrated claim for indemnification during the pendency of the arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section (e), the procedures set forth in Section 8(c) shall control and the arbitration proceeding shall be withdrawn.

     (f)  Good Faith Claims. Any Indemnified Party shall bring a claim for indemnification hereunder in good faith and in a timely manner consistent with good commercial practices.

     (g)  Limitations on Indemnity. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Group 1 Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, nor the TriSense Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, shall be entitled to recovery from the Indemnifying Party (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses suffered (excluding, however, legal fees and expenses), sustained or incurred by the Group 1 Indemnified Parties or the TriSense Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall exceed $135,000 calculated on a cumulative and not on a per item basis (the “Basket Amount”), and then only with respect to the excess over the Basket Amount, and (ii) in an aggregate amount in excess of $6,000,000 (the “Cap”).

     (h)  Offset against Promissory Note. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 8, if Group 1 either (a) asserts in good faith a claim to indemnity for a Loss pursuant to subsection 8(e) that has not been settled or proceeded to the point of an arbitration award or other adjudication, or (b) is subject to a Loss from a third party claim pursuant to Section 8(c) that has not been adjudicated or settled (such Loss described in (a) and (b) being referred to as a “Pending Loss”), then Group 1 may withhold from its obligation to pay pursuant to the Promissory Note, the reasonable amount of such Pending Loss that is the subject to such claim for indemnity, provided that Group 1 shall not be entitled to withhold for a Pending Loss to the extent that the amount of such Pending Loss, together with all other Pending Losses that have been withheld, shall exceed $1,500,000. If and to the extent Trisense is held not liable through arbitration or litigation for any such Pending Loss, Group 1 shall immediately pay over the amount withheld to Trisense plus interest from the due date of the payment from which such amount is withheld to the date of such payment to Trisense at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

     (i)  Offsetting Losses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 8 shall be reduced by (A) any related recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Party under insurance policies, and (B) any other related payments actually received by an Indemnified Party from third parties.

21

     (j)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Group 1 shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 for any Losses related to the collection of an account receivable, unless and until Group 1 has (i) expended commercially reasonable efforts to collect such account receivable, and (ii) offered to assign such account receivable to TriSense.

     (k)  Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the rights set forth in this Section 8 (Indemnification) shall be each party’s sole and exclusive remedies against the other party hereto for misrepresentations or breaches of covenants or warranties contained in this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, excluding, however, enforcement of Lamm’s restrictive covenant and any action in equity that either party may institute to obtained equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any of the parties hereto from bringing an action based upon allegations of fraud or other intentional breach of an obligation of or with respect to the other parties in connection with this Agreement or the additional agreements contemplated hereby. In the event such action is brought, Group 1, on the one hand, and TriSense on the other hand, shall bear their own fees and expenses in connection with such action.

9.  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     (a)  All representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by Group 1 in this Agreement orin any document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto, have been relied upon by TriSense and shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months unless an express provision of the document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto calls for a longer period of survival.

     (b)  All representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and obligations made or undertaken by TriSense in this Agreement or in any document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto have been relied upon by Group 1 and shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months unless an express provision of the document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto calls for a longer period of survival.

     (c)  Except as expressly set forth herein, TriSense makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of any of its assets (including, without limitation, the Assets), liabilities or operations.

10.  TERMINATION
