GIGA INFORMATION GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION OF
CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ROBERT WEILER


RICHARD CRANDALL APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

CAMBRIDGE, MA (August 30, 2002) -- Giga Information Group, Inc. (OTC BB: GIGX)
today announced that Robert K. Weiler has resigned his position as Giga's
chairman, effective immediately. Weiler, who plans to assist in the transition
process after his replacement is named, will remain as president and CEO of Giga
until October 17, 2002. Giga's board of directors has initiated an executive
search for a new chief executive officer.

According to Weiler, "It has been an extremely difficult decision to leave Giga
and the people here. However, I have felt the pull to return to my roots in the
software business where I began my career, and I have decided to assume the
chief executive role for a private software firm in the Boston area."

He added, "I am confident that I'll be leaving Giga in good hands under the
leadership of a strong management team and in a sound financial position."

Long-time Giga board member Richard L. Crandall has been named non-executive
chairman of the board. Crandall served as a director of Giga since August 1995
and was a consultant to Giga from July 1998 until June 2000. He was founder of


Comshare, Inc., a decision support software company, serving as its chief
executive officer from 1970 until 1994 and chairman until April 1997. He is
chairman of the Enterprise Software Roundtable, consisting of the CEOs and COOs
of the 30 largest enterprise software companies. He currently serves on the
boards of directors of several publicly held technology companies and a number
of private ventures. Crandall received a B.S. in electrical engineering, a B.S.
in mathematics and an M.S.E. in industrial engineering from the University of
Michigan.

According to Crandall, "Bob Weiler is an outstanding individual and a true chief
executive. He has brought energy and professional management to the company, and
has instilled financial discipline and a focus on accountability. The board of
directors and our team at Giga wish Bob the best of luck in his new role.

"Under Bob's leadership, Giga has navigated the difficult market conditions
faced by the technology sector and has achieved four successive quarters of
profitability. Also during his tenure, Giga has established itself as a leader
in customer retention for the industry, and has garnered a reputation as an
industry innovator," he added. "The board is committed to hiring the best
possible chief executive who will build upon our legacy and take Giga to new
levels of market and financial success."
