TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF ZAMBA SOLUTIONS

Acquisition Significantly Strengthens TSC’s CRM Capabilities

CHICAGO and MINNEAPOLIS – August 9, 2004 – Technology Solutions Company (TSC) (Nasdaq: TSCC), a consulting company delivering business benefits through the application of information technology, and ZAMBA Solutions (ZAMBA) (OTC BB: ZMBA), a premier customer relationship management (CRM) services company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which TSC will acquire ZAMBA.

Under the terms of the transaction, which was approved by both companies’ boards of directors, ZAMBA stockholders will receive 0.15 share of TSC common stock for each share of ZAMBA common stock which they hold as of the effective date of the merger.  Upon completion of the transaction, ZAMBA stockholders will own approximately 12.5% of the company.  Including anticipated cost synergies/reductions, the transaction is expected to increase TSC’s 2005 pre-tax income, excluding amortization of acquired intangibles and other purchase accounting adjustments.

“TSC is excited about adding ZAMBA’s exceptional delivery and customer service capabilities, which were recently recognized by Gartner as having the highest overall satisfaction rating of all CRM service providers evaluated,” said Michael Gorsage, President and Chief Executive Officer of TSC. “We see great value and growth in the CRM marketplace over the next several years, and this acquisition should enable us to take advantage of this trend and represents a continuation of our overall expansion strategy, in which our top priority is providing great service to our clients.”

Michael Carrel, ZAMBA’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “ZAMBA is also excited about this merger as it represents a significant step forward in our strategic growth plan and enables us to serve our clients with a much broader scope of services and offerings.  With TSC’s strong balance sheet, and recently strengthened leadership team, we see tremendous opportunity to build a great company together.”

The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by ZAMBA’s stockholders.  The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
