                          ("Intercede" or "the Group")


                         Launch of edeficeTM Version 6.3



Intercede, a leading developer of electronic identity management software, today
announces the launch of the latest version of its key web-based management
product, edeficeTM.

Intercede Group plc (IGP LN) (IGP.L), a leading developer of electronic identity
management software, announces that it will officially launch edeficeTM 6.3 at
CardTech/SecurTech ("CTST") in New Orleans and at Infosec in London.  Both of
these exhibitions commence tomorrow, Tuesday 23 April 2002, and will last until
Thursday 25 April 2002.

Following the launch of edeficeO 6.0 announced in October 2001, edeficeTM 6.3
represents a significant step forward in terms of meeting the rapidly emerging
needs of our channel partners and their customers. Oberthur and Compaq will be
demonstrating their own derivatives of edeficeTM 6.3 at London's Infosec
exhibition.  Two unnamed US based partners will be launching their own products
based on edeficeTM 6.3 at CTST in New Orleans.

EdeficeTM 6.3 opens up new sales opportunities for Intercede by supporting
additional smart cards, authentication tokens and USB devices. The incorporation
of a device and user profile editor provides enhanced centralised control of
security policies while retaining edefice'sO intuitive user interface. Powerful
new work flows for issuing smart cards and their credentials enables edeficeTM
6.3 to deliver business benefits to a wider market and as a result significantly
broadens the revenue potential of the product line.



EdeficeTM 6.3 further cements Intercede's position as a world class provider 
of electronic identity management software. EdeficeTM 6.3 will be showcased on
Intercede's own booth, No. 758, at CTST.



Richard Parris, Chief Executive of Intercede, said today:

"EdeficeTM 6.0 enabled Intercede to secure a number of important partnership
agreements which incorporated US$800,000 in advance revenues. EdeficeTM 6.3
represents a further substantial technical progression, thereby enabling these
partners to satisfy an increasingly wide variety of potential applications for
their customers."

                                                                   22 April 2002
