                            ATTENTIV SYSTEMS GROUP PLC

                                  ("AttentiV")

                New Licence Signed with Portman Building Society

AttentiV Systems Group, a leading developer and supplier of software to the
financial services sector, is pleased to announce that it has contracted with
the Portman Building Society for the implementation of AttentiV's retail banking
solution, Summit, which includes the Activate mortgage application processing
module.

Portman Building Society is paying AttentiV a licence fee to use AttentiV's
Summit product to support mortgage applications and accounts servicing across
its network of branches. In common with other contracts of this nature, AttentiV
also expects to earn additional revenues through the provision of support,
maintenance and other consultancy services over a period covering several years.

The decision follows the merger of Portman with the Staffordshire Building
Society, which completed on 31 December 2003, and will extend the use of the
original Staffordshire system to cover the Portman Building Society's mortgage
operation. The implementation project has already commenced and will ensure that
the Society meets the deadline for Mortgage Conduct of Business compliance on 31
October 2004.

Robert Sharpe, Chief Executive of the Portman Building Society, explained:

"We had a requirement for a regulation ready mortgage application processing
system and the merger with Staffordshire Building Society provided an
opportunity to review our systems across the Group. The Staffordshire has been a
user of AttentiV's Summit system for some time and it made perfect technical and
commercial sense to us to standardise on the same proven system with AttentiV."

The Activate module will be used by the Portman Building Society to automate the
processes involved in dealing with a mortgage application through its various
stages to completion. Following completion, the mortgage will be controlled by
the main AttentiV Summit system for its full operational life.

Activate will enable the Society to provide a consistent product offering and
consistency of information given across all branches, an essential requirement
when complying with new Mortgage regulations. A single system with a standard
approach will ensure that customers are dealt with efficiently and in accordance
with regulatory requirements.
