RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 1, 2008--NCI, Inc. (NASDAQ:NCIT), a leading provider of information technology (IT), engineering, and professional services and solutions to U.S. federal government agencies, announced today that it has been added to the U.S. broad-market Russell 3000(R) Index after the equity markets closed on June 27 as Russell Investments reconstituted its comprehensive family of global indexes.

NCI is pleased to be included in this prestigious index. We are proud of our past successes which we attribute to our unwavering commitment to total customer satisfaction and delivering on our promises to customers, employees, and stockholders.

The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched last year. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
