                  CIBER REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
                     Revenue Increases 14% (7% organic); EPS Increases 9%

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colorado ­ April 24, 2008 ­ CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), today announced its
results for the first quarter of 2008, ended March 31st.
First Quarter 2008 Highlights
    ˇ   Record revenue of $294.5 million was $35.3 million (14%) higher than 1Q07, 7% of which was organic
        growth.
    ˇ   Operating income of $14.9 million was 17% greater than the $12.7 million of the first quarter of 2007.
    ˇ   EBITDA (see appended table) was $20.3 million, a $2.7 million (16%) increase compared to 1Q07.
    ˇ   Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities was a very strong $25.0 million versus a negative $8.7
        million in 1Q07.
    ˇ   Net income of $7.2 million was 9% higher than 1Q07 net income of $6.6 million.
    ˇ   GAAP EPS of $0.12 per share was 9% higher than the year earlier quarter of $0.11 per share.
Management Comments
        "2008 has commenced very solidly, particularly in organic revenue growth, setting a new record for
quarterly revenue. Strong results, especially in Europe and our US Commercial Division, contributed to first
quarter strength," said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are very
encouraged in the US as we begin the second quarter with headcount stability, recent wins in our Commercial
and Federal Divisions and the pipelines in our ERP and our public sector divisions. We believe the momentum
of our operations will counter the negative economic forces that prevail in a few of the territories in which we
operate."
1Q08 Operational Highlights
    US Commercial Division
        ˇ   Revenue in this Division increased both sequentially and year-over-year. Operating contributions
            grew 19% year-over-year.

        ˇ   Several sizable wins, collectively approximating $175 million, many with offshore delivery
            participation, keyed the quarter's Commercial Division wins.
    European Division
        ˇ   Continued headcount growth, broad demand, and the weaker US dollar all contributed to a solid
            quarter. Revenue increased 40% quarter-over-quarter, 22% of which was organic. Operating
            contribution increased 78% at the EBITA line.
        ˇ   Improved results in most areas of our European operations, provided balanced growth in operating
            contributions and gained the highest Divisional revenue quarter in its history.
    State & Local Government Division
        ˇ   Significant receivable collections ($9.9 million) on aged City of New Orleans receivables
            contributed to the quarter's strong cash flow.
        ˇ   Reduction in lower margin subcontractors offset by additional consultants at better margins will
            help gross margins in the second quarter.
    Federal Government Division
        ˇ   Critical first time audit approval of our Federal accounting system in mid-March opens the path
            to more "prime" bidding by CIBER.
        ˇ   Recompete wins in the quarter helped stabilize the base of operations for 2008.
    CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division (CES) (US ERP)
        ˇ   Wins totaling $27 million in the Oracle Practice alone in the quarter included the City & County of
            San Francisco, the University of Wisconsin and two universities.
        ˇ   The large Pennsylvania Turnpike SAP project remains on schedule for delivery later this year.
        ˇ   We continued to invest in our domestic SAP project delivery procedures, which held back
            operating contributions in this Division.
    Eastern Asia-Pacific Operations
        ˇ   New work in various verticals commenced in India in the March 2008 quarter.
        ˇ   Australia gained two SAP wins in the retail sector, both with VAR license participation.
Pipeline and Wins Data
        CIBER's pipeline (US only) at March 31, 2008 was approximately $3.3 billion, a $0.4 billion (14%)
increase from year-end 2007. Wins (including Europe) were approximately $370 million for the quarter, a solid
1.25:1 book-to-bill ratio.
Balance Sheet Highlights (March 31, 2008)
        ˇ   Working capital was flat with December 2007, at $174.8 million.
        ˇ   DSOs on services, aided by New Orleans/FEMA collections, improved 2 days sequentially to 70
            days.

        ˇ    Treasury stock purchases were 800,000 shares at $5.08 per share. A new authorization to buy up to
             $10 million in shares was announced in February.
