Publications Resource Group Partners with Giga Information Group for Online Content Distribution

NORTH ADAMS, MA (April 27, 2000) — Giga Information Group (NASDAQ: GIGX) and Publications Resource Group, Inc. today announced a strategic online content agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Publications Resource Group will sell a selection of Giga's e-Business research documents through its global Web portal, PRGGuide.com.

The agreement expands Giga's global reach to include Internet-based customers who may not need Giga's full services, but have an interest in some of the company's industry-leading e-Business research and analysis. PRGGuide clients, comprising more than 2,000 organizations, will be able to search for and purchase Giga research on a variety of topics. The PRG Web site includes a database of more than 6,000 publications from over 220 leading publishers and consultancies. PRG will actively market the Giga content to its clients.

"Publications Resource Group is an excellent addition to our list of carefully-selected online distributors of Giga content," said Ann K. Coffou, vice president of Giga's e-Content Business Development. "Our agreement with Publications Resource Group helps us reach customers, including small- to medium-sized companies, that might not normally subscribe to Giga's e-Business research and analysis services. This complements our own sales efforts nicely, further expanding our presence in the online market for trusted, quality information."

PRGGuide subscribers will have access to select Giga IdeaBytes, concise discussions of analyst ideas and recommendations on a particular topic, and Giga Planning Assumptions, catalyst-driven research that provides more detailed analysis of topics. The Web portal features an advanced search engine, browse-by-topic capabilities, online ordering, information request system and report abstracts, tables of contents, featured market-research reports, and industry insights to make it easy to find, select and purchase the Giga research content.
