ATLANTA   March 21, 2005 -- Convergent, the leading provider of digital media platforms, today announced that President and Chief Operating Officer Bryan Allen has been elevated to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Murray Holland, who has been at the helm for the past 12 years, steps down as CEO but continues on as chairman of the board.

In Allen's position as President and COO, he led the Convergent executive team to create new products, services and markets. "Bryan forged almost half-a-dozen new markets in alliances with companies like Sony Electronics and Bell Canada. He has proven that he has the vision and acumen to carry Convergent to the next phase of growth," said Holland.

"Convergent's best days are ahead," said Allen. "This company has some of the most creative talent in the digital media industry; our base of customers are the 'who's who' of industry leaders, like Bank of America, Ford, Kroger and Eli Lilly. "Our products are second to none with offerings like our digital signage solution for advertising content creation, network management and hardware in one package, and our unique small format digital TV studio we call the Advanced Digital Environment Production Tool that has all the power of a production control room but without the high overhead and manpower. I look forward to leading Convergent into the next era of opportunity, revenue, and profitability."

Allen has been with Convergent for more than 23 years. Starting as a systems engineer, Allen rose through the ranks and was promoted to a number of executive positions within the company, from vice president of engineering all the way to COO, President and COO, and today CEO.

Allen's leadership resulted in Convergent receiving the inaugural Business Ethics Award of Georgia in 2001. He was also nominated twice for "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst & Young in 2000 and 2001. Allen earned his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Western Kentucky University in 1983.
