SYBASE ESTABLISHES SUBSIDIARY IN BRAZIL

Sybase to Support Aggressive Client/Server Growth in World's Ninth Largest
Economy

EMERYVILLE, CA, April 3,1994 -- Sybase, Inc., The Enterprise Client/Server
Company, today announced the opening of a new subsidiary in Brazil. The
new subsidiary, Sybase do Brasil Software Ltda., was formed through the
acquisition of Sybase's former Brazilian distributor, Tecnologia
Cliente/Servidor Informatica S.A. The move is designed to allow Sybase to
better serve the Brazilian market, which represents the ninth largest
economy in the world and which is undergoing an aggressive move towards
client/server computing.

The new Brazilian subsidiary will be managed by Weslyeh Mohriak, vice
president of Sybase Latin American operations and managing director of
Sybase do Brasil. Mohriak was formerly a managing partner of CI
Compucenter, the corporation that owned Tecnologia Cliente/Servidor
Informatica S.A., and of several other companies that distribute products
from Powersoft, Peoplesoft, Computerland, Microsoft and certain other
hardware and software companies. He reports directly to Dominic Gattuso
Jr., Sybase's senior vice president and general manager of worldwide sales
and field operations.

"This is a very opportune time for Sybase to establish a strong presence in
Brazil," said Mohriak. "With approximately 16% of the world's mainframe
systems located in Brazil, Sybase has an excellent opportunity tc- support
the rapid adoption of client/server systems that is now taking place in
this country."

Under Mohriak, the former Brazilian distributor had been very successful in
selling and providing service to Sybase's Brazilian customer base. In fact
Tecnologia Client/Servidor has achieved such outstanding customer support
and service results that nearly 100% of Sybase's Brazilian customers
renewed their customer support agreements last year.

Gattuso commented, "We are extremely pleased with the work that our former
distributor Tecnologia Client/Servidor has done in Brazil. We believe that
this outstanding track record combined with the fact that the
client/server market is growing extremely fast in Brazil will allow us to
significantly increase our market presence in Latin America this year."

In addition to its new subsidiary in Brazil, Sybase Latin America has
offices or distributors in Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela.

Tecnologia Cliente/Servidor. The office will be run by Weslyeh Mohriak,
who is managing director of Sybase do Brasil and vice president of Sybase
Latin American operations. In addition to Sybase's direct sales force in
Brazil, approximately 30% of the subsidiary's revenues have been generated
by Sybase's network of channels partners in Brazil.
