Singapore, October 5th, 2004 – Scandent Group has signed a definitive agreement to buy Aon Corporation’s claims administration business, Cambridge Integrated Services Group, Inc. (www.cambridgeintegrated.com). Aon will retain a minority financial interest. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Patrick G. Ryan, chairman and CEO of Aon Corporation, said, “Clients will benefit from a combination of claims services skills and process management expertise, and we will continue to refer insurance brokerage clients to Cambridge. The sale also fulfills Aon’s objective of refocusing on its core businesses.”

Chris Sinclair, chairman of Scandent Group, said, “Scandent’s purchase of Cambridge, a world-class claims services provider, is a major step in the growth of our company. We look forward to expanding our franchise in this exciting field, and to adding our worldwide capabilities to support Cambridge and its clients.”

Sinclair added, “The potential for claims processing in the U.S., U.K., Australia and other international markets is immense.”

Scandent Group has experience in Health-Care Claims Processing, Insurance and Financial Services Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) as well as Information Technology Services through its group companies Scandent Solutions and ProcessMind. ProcessMind will be folded into Cambridge to expand the company’s BPO capabilities. The strategy is to expand the business while bringing best practices from each company to operations. Cambridge
employees will transfer to the new company.

For Scandent Group, the resultant combination of Cambridge and ProcessMind creates one of the largest market-facing BPO companies with US and Asian presence.
