BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Independence

Under Nasdaq rules, an “independent director” of a company means a person (other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries) who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board has determined that, with the exception of the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Oresman, and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gorsage, each of its directors is an independent director under the Nasdaq rules.

The Company’s independent directors meet in executive session at least twice a year and may meet more frequently as they determine is necessary. Mr. Purcell serves as chairman of each meeting of independent directors.

Communication with the Board

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board should address their communications to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, Philip J. Downey, at Technology Solutions Company, 205 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1500, Chicago, Illinois 60601. He will review each such communication and forward it to the appropriate Board member or members as he deems appropriate.

The Company encourages, but does not require, its directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. Last year all of the Company’s directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Nomination Policy

The Board does not have a separate nominating committee; the Independent Directors serve this function. The Board has adopted a formal written policy regarding the nomination process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws. Under the nominating policy, the independent directors, meeting in executive session, are responsible for identifying, evaluating, and recommending individuals qualified to be appointed to the Board or to stand for election to the Board at a meeting of the stockholders.

In evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board, the independent directors are to take into account the applicable requirements for directors under the Nasdaq rules as well as the standards for serving on the Board’s Audit Committee under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The independent directors may take into consideration such other factors and criteria as they deem appropriate in evaluating a candidate, including his or her judgment, skill, integrity, diversity and business or other experience. The independent directors may (but are not required to) consider candidates suggested by management or other members of the Board.

Generally, the independent directors will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a

- 5 -

well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The independent directors will also evaluate whether a candidate’s skills and experience are complementary to the existing Board members’ skills and experience as well as the Board’s need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. The independent directors will interview candidates who meet the criteria and the independent directors will then select nominees that such independent directors believe best suit the Board’s needs.

The independent directors will consider qualified candidates for director nominees suggested by stockholders. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director nominees by writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, Philip J. Downey, at 205 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1500, Chicago, Illinois 60601. Submissions that are received that meet the criteria described above will be forwarded to the independent directors for further review and consideration. The independent directors do not intend to evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates.

Directors’ Meetings and Committees

The Board of Directors held seven meetings during 2004. Each incumbent director, other than Ms. Kruger, who became a Director in January 2005, attended all of the meetings of the Board and committees thereof upon which he served, except Mr. Luterman, who missed one Board meeting, and Mr. Caldiero, who missed one Audit Committee meeting.

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, presently composed of Messrs. Luterman, Caldiero and Dill, that monitors the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control systems. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and an “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules and meets the other independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are included in its written charter attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement. The Audit Committee met five times during 2004. The Company has at least one audit committee financial expert, as that term is used in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. Mr. Luterman has been identified as the audit committee financial expert.

The Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee presently composed of Messrs. Caldiero, Dill and Purcell, and Ms. Kruger. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include the evaluation and approval of stock option grants and executive compensation. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “independent director” under the Nasdaq rules. The Compensation Committee met four times during 2004.

Compensation of Outside Directors

Annual compensation for those directors who are not employees of the Company (“Outside Directors”) is $25,000, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred in attending meetings. Board Committee Chairmen receive an additional annual payment of $3,000. Each Outside Director receives a per-meeting fee of $1,500 for a Board Meeting and $1,000 for a Committee Meeting.

- 6 -

In addition, each Outside Director presently holds stock options issued under the Technology Solutions Company 1993 Outside Directors Plan, as amended (the “1993 Plan”), and/or the Technology Solutions Company 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “1996 Plan”). Any new Outside Director will receive under the 1996 Plan an option to purchase 40,500 shares of Common Stock with a per share exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market ^® on the day the stock option is granted. Each stock option granted to an Outside Director under the 1996 Plan becomes exercisable, depending on the time at which it was originally granted, either (i) in thirty-six monthly installments of 1,125 shares each, commencing on the last day of the calendar month immediately following the month the option is granted or (ii) in one installment of 13,500 shares on the one-year anniversary of the option grant date followed by twenty-four monthly installments of 1,125 shares each, commencing on the last day of the calendar month immediately following the one-year anniversary of the option grant date.

Additionally, Outside Directors are eligible for supplemental option grants. In 2004, no such grants were made.

Other Information

Mr. Luterman, a member of the Company’s Board, has served as the Chief Financial Officer of KeySpan Corporation since August 1999. Mr. Luterman, along with other officers of KeySpan, has been named in a formal investigation by the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York, relating to his trading activities with respect to KeySpan common stock during the period following the acquisition in February 2002 by KeySpan of the Roy Kay companies through the July 17, 2002 announcement of a special accounting charge. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, this investigation has not been closed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the Company’s independent auditors until April 3, 2003. In order to better align the Company’s audit service requirements, the Audit Committee selected Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) to serve as the Company’s independent auditors.

On April 3, 2003, at the request of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, PwC was dismissed as the Company’s independent auditor. PwC’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the interim period from January 1, 2003 through April 3, 2003, there were no disagreements (as that term is used in item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

On April 3, 2003, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Grant Thornton to act as the Company’s independent auditors, effective immediately. During the Company’s fiscal years

- 7 -

ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the interim period from January 1, 2003 through April 3, 2003, the Company did not consult Grant Thornton with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304 (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. Grant Thornton served as the Company’s independent auditors for 2004. Representatives of Grant Thornton are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Grant Thornton’s representatives will also be given the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has appointed Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Approval of the proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. If the appointment is not ratified, the appointment of other independent auditors will be considered by the Audit Committee. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Shares not voted by a broker acting as nominee because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote will be considered as not being in attendance for the vote on the proposal.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee unanimously recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote FOR approval of the proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of Technology Solutions Company’s Board of Directors is composed of three independent directors and operates under a written charter duly adopted by the Board of Directors (attached hereto as Exhibit A). For 2004, the members of the Audit Committee met the independence and experience requirements of the Nasdaq. The members of the Audit Committee are Gerald Luterman, Raymond P. Caldiero and Carl F. Dill, Jr. Among other things, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent auditors.

Management is responsible for the Company’s financial statements, systems of internal control and the financial reporting process. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of

- 8 -

and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. Specifically, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, current developments for audit committees in 2004 and any other matters required to be discussed under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Audit Committee followed the guidance in SEC Financial Release No. 60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies and, accordingly, reviewed the selection, application and disclosure of the critical accounting policies of the Company.

During 2004 and 2003, the Company retained its principal auditors, Grant Thornton, in several capacities:

	2004		2003
Audit Fees	$	135,350	$	125,000
Audit Related Fees		10,222		5,778
Tax Fees		0		0
All Other Fees		31,847		12,500
Total	$	177,419	$	143,278

Audit Fees

Audit Fees represent amounts incurred in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K, and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Forms 10-Q.

Audit Related Fees

Audit Related Fees represent amounts billed for the audit of the Company’s 401(k) plan and other similar audit related services.

Tax Fees

Tax Fees represent amounts billed for tax services. No tax fees were billed in 2004 or 2003.

All Other Fees

All Other Fees for 2004 represent amounts billed in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of Zamba Corporation. All Other Fees for 2003 represent amounts billed by PwC for the transition of the audit function from PwC to Grant Thornton, and a review of PwC work papers relating to terminated negotiations for a proposed business combination.

All fees paid by the Company to the Company’s independent auditors were approved by the Audit Committee in advance of the services being performed by such auditors.

- 9 -

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed these figures as well as the written disclosures and the letter from the independent public auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence, including consideration of the compatibility of non-audit services with that firm’s independence. Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has affirmed the independence of the Company’s principal auditors for 2004.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, and relying thereon, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the members of the Audit Committee as set forth below:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Policies

The Company’s continuing objective is to provide superior sustainable value to its shareholders while providing competitive compensation opportunities that will attract, retain and reward leadership and critical talent. The Company provides all employees with an opportunity to increase annual compensation based on individual and team performance relative to specific criteria and objectives that are aligned with Company success drivers. To do this, the Company places a significant portion of employee compensation at risk with the performance of the Company, the operating group and the individual. The portion of compensation at risk increases with the position held by the employee.

Executive compensation consists of salary, annual incentive compensation, long-term equity incentive opportunity, general employee benefits and other minor benefits. In determining the executive compensation structure, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) considers current Company objectives, market survey data, consultant evaluations and recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

Salaries

The Company has a formal salary program with salary grades and salary ranges. Actual salaries reflect responsibility, performance and experience within each grade. Generally, the Company strives to maintain salary range midpoints at the 50th to 75th percentile of market survey data of comparable companies. Salary increases are awarded periodically based on individual performance, when allowed by economic conditions.

Annual Incentive Compensation

In 2004, the Company maintained an Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”) that provided an opportunity for its management and other employees to earn annual cash bonuses. Under the 2004 ICP, each employee had a designated target bonus (represented as a percentage of base salary) reflecting the employee’s responsibility level. For 2004, the targets were: 10% for employees below the level of Principal, 15% for Principals, 25% for Senior Principals, 25% to 40% for Vice-Presidents, and 50% to 100% for Senior Vice-Presidents, Client Officers and the Chief Executive Officer.

Targets represent payouts for target performance. However, actual ICP payouts for 2004 could have ranged from 0% to 200% of the target amount. The amount of an employee’s ICP payout for 2004 was tied to the achievement of financial and non-financial indicators of Company success as well as certain qualitative measures. Specific performance metrics differed among employees and were selected and weighted based on their importance to the Company’s strategic objectives and the ability of the employee in question to impact each metric. Performance metrics also included financial benchmarks such as corporate earnings targets, revenue and margin achievements and accounts receivable management and cost controls as well as qualitative benchmarks like client acquisition and retention. Based in part upon the results of a comprehensive compensation survey conducted by an outside firm engaged by the Company

- 15 -

during 2001, the Compensation Committee believes that the metrics selected for 2004 were consistent with those used by organizations similar to the Company in either size or industry segment.

Applying the above metrics, the Company paid $757,000 in total 2004 incentive compensation bonuses to employees of the Company, other than named executive officers.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Until February 10, 2004, the Company maintained a Voluntary Non-Qualified Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Under this plan, officers and other senior management employees were permitted to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 50% of their base salary and 100% their ICP payout. On February 9, 2004, based on dwindling participation coupled with recent and proposed changes in tax and other legislation, the Compensation Committee voted to terminate this plan, effective February 10, 2004. All plan funds have since been distributed to the participants.

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a Stock Incentive Plan that gives employees an equity stake in the financial success of the Company, with grants based on position and responsibility. Certain Company employees receive a stock option grant upon joining the Company. Additional grants may be made annually, generally at the Vice President level and above, when the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, deems such grants serve the best interests of the Company. In 2004, 2,771,000 options were granted to new and existing employees and 464,095 options were forfeited, primarily as a result of employee terminations. On December 31, 2004, the acquisition of Zamba Corporation (“Zamba”) by the Company resulted in the conversion of certain existing Zamba options into 1,540,512 new Company options. As of December 31, 2004, 974,268 options remained available to be awarded under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating and setting compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. In doing so, the Board typically considers the compensation of similarly placed executives at other companies, as well as individual and Company performance. Increases or decreases in compensation are awarded periodically based on individual and Company performance. Mr. Gorsage’s annual salary was set at $350,000 upon his becoming President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in May 2004, and has not since changed. In May 2004, in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Gorsage was granted an option to purchase 337,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. In January 2005, Mr. Gorsage was granted an option to purchase 162,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. Since becoming President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Gorsage was paid a one-time $150,000 bonus in accordance with the terms of his employment contract.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order for a stockholder proposal or nomination to be properly presented at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2006 Annual Meeting”), the stockholder proponent must comply with the relevant notice requirements contained in the Company’s By-Laws. These requirements relate to both the timing and content of the notice. To be timely, a stockholder proposal or nomination intended to be brought before the 2006 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company on or after January 6, 2006 and on or prior to February 5, 2006. All proposals and nominations should be directed to the Secretary of the Company.

In addition, any stockholder proposal that is intended to be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2006 Annual Meeting must comply with certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deadline for submitting any such proposal to the Company for inclusion in its Proxy Statement for the 2006 Annual Meeting is December 8, 2005.

If a stockholder proposal is properly presented at the 2006 Annual Meeting in accordance with the requirements described above and is not included as an agenda item in the Company’s Proxy Statement for that meeting, the designated proxy holders will be permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to that proposal if, in the Proxy Statement, the Company advises stockholders of the nature of the proposal and how the proxy holders intend to vote. Nevertheless, the proxy holders will not have discretionary voting authority if the stockholder proponent satisfies certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the mailing of a separate proxy statement to stockholders.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (“Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reporting Persons are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of such reports and written representations from certain Reporting Persons, the Company has determined that all Reporting Persons complied with all filing requirements applicable to them in 2004.

Exhibit A

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
February 9, 2004

I.   GENERAL.

a.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Technology Solutions Company (the “Company”) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company’s financial reporting process, system of internal controls, accounting practices and audit process.

b.

The Board recognizes that while the Audit Committee has been given certain duties and responsibilities pursuant to this Charter, the Audit Committee is not responsible for guaranteeing the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements or the quality of the Company’s accounting practices. The fundamental responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and disclosures rests with management and the Company’s external auditor (the “Independent Auditor”). The Board also recognizes that meeting the responsibilities of an Audit Committee in a dynamic business environment requires a degree of flexibility. Accordingly, the procedures outlined in this Charter are meant to serve as guidelines rather than inflexible rules, and the Audit Committee is encouraged to adopt such different or additional procedures as it deems necessary from time to time.

II.   COMPOSITION AND EXPERTISE.

a.

The Audit Committee shall be composed solely of directors of the Company, each of whom shall satisfy all applicable requirements for audit committee service, including requirements with respect to independence and financial literacy imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), provided that the Board may elect to take advantage of any exception from such requirements provided in the SOX Act, the Exchange Act, the Nasdaq rules or any other applicable source of law. One member of the Audit Committee shall be a “financial expert,” as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Audit Committee shall have at least three members. Determinations as to whether a particular director satisfies the requirements for membership on the Audit Committee shall be made by the Board.

b.

The members of the Audit Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual organizational meeting of the Board and shall serve until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or until their resignation or removal. Unless

A-1

a Chair is designated by the full Board, the members of the Audit Committee may elect a Chair by majority vote.

III.   MEETINGS.

a.	The Committee shall meet with such frequency and at such intervals as it shall determine is necessary to carry out its duties and responsibilities, but in any case, not less than four times a year. The Committee will meet at such times as determined by its chairperson or as requested by any two of its members. The Committee may meet by telephone or video conference and may take action by written consent.
b.	Each member of the Committee shall have one vote. One-third of the members, but not less than two, shall constitute a quorum. The Committee shall be authorized to take any permitted action only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Committee members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the unanimous written consent of all of the Committee members.
c.	The Committee shall maintain copies of minutes of each meeting of the Committee, and each written consent to action taken without a meeting, reflecting the actions so authorized or taken by the Committee. A copy of the minutes of each meeting and all consents shall be placed in the Company’s minute book.

IV.	EXTERNAL ADVISORS. The Committee shall have sole authority to obtain, at the Company’s expense, but at funding levels determined by the Committee, advice and assistance from independent counsel and other advisors, as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. The Committee shall also have authority to obtain advice and assistance from any officer or employee of the Company.
V.	DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Audit Committee shall:
