SYBASE ANNOUNCES CERTIFICATION OF ISO 9002 QUALITY STANDARD

Company Certified on International Quality Standard on First Formal Audit

EMERYVILLE, CA, May 31,1994 -- Sybase, Inc., The Enterprise Client/Server
Company, today announced that the Sybase Manufacturing and Logistics Group
(MLG) is certified compliant with the International Standards
Organization's (ISO) 9002 standard for quality systems by the Bureau
Veritas Quality International (BVQI) based in London. After a concentrated
six-month effort, the Sybase MLG achieved certification at the completion
of its first formal audit.

Compliance with ISO 9002, part of the ISO 9000 series of quality standards,
assures customers that the Sybase manufacturing quality system is
certified by an internationally recognized quality standards organization.
The ISO 9000 series is designed to provide a foundation for continuous
improvement. Documenting the quality system clarifies how the company
actually works, enables critical process measurements, and facilitates
process improvement. ISO 9000 also reduces the need for customer audits,
allowing customers to rely on compliance with the standard.

Mark Hoffman, Sybase president and CEO, said, "Widespread acceptance of the
ISO 9000 quality standard in Europe makes its compliance a virtual
requirement for doing business with members of the European Economic
Community. While many companies simply certify their European operations,
Sybase has made a corporate commitment to certify in both Europe and the
United States. We will continue pursuing certification in all of our
operational areas. ISO 9002 certification is another demonstration of our
commitment to customer satisfaction. Sybase is investing in its future by
putting customer requirements first."

ISO 9000 Certification

In 1987, the International Standards Organization published the ISO 9000
series of generic standards to provide guidelines and requirements for
quality systems. The standards apply to all types of companies in all
sectors of the economy, including manufacturing and service. The ISO 9002
standard is one of the three ISO 9000 standards for quality systems
established by the ISO, which differ only in scope. Sybase's certification
of ISO 9002 represents a major step in the company's move toward
compliance with the more comprehensive ISO 9001 standard, which includes
definitions of quality practices for product development and customer
service.

International Organization for Standardization

The International Organization for Standardization was founded in 1946 to
develop a common set of manufacturing, trade, and communication standards.
The organization is based in Geneva, Switzerland and is composed of 91
member countries. The United States member organization is the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). All standards developed by the ISO
are voluntary; no legal requirements force countries to adopt them.
