INTERGRAPH, SAP SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 9, 1995 -- Intergraph Corporation announced today
that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with SAP, one of the
fastest-growing software companies in the world.

In the memorandum, the companies agree to work together to pursue joint
sales opportunities and integrate their applications to meet customer
demands.

SAP develops and markets an open, integrated client/server-based business
application system called R/3, which provides enterprise-wide business
solutions for mission-critical applications. Intergraph is the world's
largest company dedicated to supplying interactive computer graphics
systems.

Tommy Steele, president of Intergraph Software Solutions (ISS), the
software division of Intergraph, said the companies have, for the past
eight months, been conducting joint marketing analyses of customers and
products to determine overlap and potential demand for integration of
their combined products.

They have also been conducting technical analyses of the feasibility of
this integration. Intergraph is also integrating the SAP technology to its
own internal management practices

We started talks last summer," Steele said. "As we learned more about each
other, it became apparent that we each possessed elements that, if
combined, could create a very effective business relationship."

Intergraph will demonstrate a possible integration of its Document
Management 2.0 product with SAP software at its International Graphics
Users Group meeting here this week. The companies plan integration
demonstrations between Intergraph's FRAMME utility software and R/3 and
Intergraph's PDS plant design software and R/3 later in the year.

"These demonstrations will help us build an integration toolkit," Steele
said. "This toolkit could be used by Integraph's Solutions Engineering
Division consultants to provide integrations based on customer
requirements."

In addition to software integration between the two companies, Steele said
Intergraph will provide hardware to support the SAP environment as well as
worldwide training and service.

"Intergraph's long history of supporting client/server environments
positions us particularly well to support SAP's products," Steele said.

SAP America's Senior Vice President Peter Dunning said that customers also
brought the companies together. Both include many of the world's leading
industrial and manufacturing companies on their customer lists.

"We each provide different services for many of the same companies,"
Dunning said. "This relationship will enable each of us to serve our
existing customers better, while helping each other expand into other
markets."

Steele said Intergraph is one of the first companies to use R/3 on
Microsoft Windows NT 3.5.
