GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc.
(NYSE: CBR), today announced its lengthy process to receive accreditation for
specific test methods for hardware and software of election voting systems has
been accomplished.

CIBER has been granted accreditation from the National Institute of
Standards and Technology's (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP) for voting system independent verification and validation
testing. The award of this accreditation signifies that CIBER has met the
requirements necessary to be invited to participate in the certification
program as directed by the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) for
certifying and testing voting systems.
In July 2006 the Federal Elections Commission introduced EAC and the
Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines (VVSG) for 2005 program for voting system
certification. NIST, a part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was appointed
by EAC to create and conduct the NVLAP accreditation program. The purpose of
this new program structure was to ensure a higher level of consistent
compliance for laboratories and manufacturers in the development and testing
for certifying voting systems. CIBER is now one of five laboratories
accredited under this program since July 2006.
"We are very proud of Kelly Rohacek, Practice Director, and her team. The
process of obtaining accreditation migrated from older standards by another
authority to current standards by NIST. While we believe we have been able to
meet the revised testing of older standards since 2006, the new testers had
moved on to the newer standards and have been busy with other certifications
and other work," said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive
Officer. "This is a rigorous process and we are now one of just a few
accredited companies, and likely one of the largest."
