                ISS RECOMMENDS THAT CLARUS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
                             CLARUS' BOARD NOMINEES

Atlanta - May 15, 2002 - Clarus Corporation (Nasdaq: CLRS) today announced that
Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) recommended that Clarus stockholders
vote FOR the Clarus Board nominees at the Company's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on May 21, 2002.

ISS is widely recognized as the leading independent proxy advisory firm in the
nation. Their recommendations are relied upon by hundreds of major institutional
investment firms, mutual funds, and other fiduciaries throughout the country.

Steve Jeffery, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Clarus, said, "We are
very pleased that ISS, a highly respected independent advisory firm, supports
Clarus' independent Director nominees. The ISS recommendation reaffirms our
belief that we have the right strategy, the right Board and management team in
place with the right experience to maximize value for all of our stockholders."

"We are fully committed to exploring all alternatives designed to maximize the
value of Clarus stockholders' investment and our Board and management are taking
the necessary steps to deliver this enhanced value. As we have previously
announced, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray is assisting our Board and management in
exploring and evaluating various strategic alternatives for the Company and we
are currently in preliminary discussions regarding a potential value-enhancing
strategic transaction," added Mr. Jeffery.

In reaching its decision to recommend that Clarus stockholders vote FOR the
Clarus Board nominees over the Dissidents' hand-picked slate, ISS stated in its
May 14, 2002 report that:

     "As discussed previously, management has demonstrated that it is cognizant
     of the challenges facing the company and has taken concrete steps to deal
     with the implications of the ongoing decline in tech spending."*

     "While we believe that reasonable people may debate the best use of the
     company's cash, we find more to like in management's plan, which has the
     twin virtues of (1) bearing a rational relationship to the company's
     operating environment and (2) being ongoing. By contrast, the dissident
     proposal's details are still undefined."*

     "[W]e are unable to entirely dismiss management's concern that the
     dissident nominees may be focused more on short-term uses of the company's
     cash than long-term measures to enhance shareholder value."*

     "We conclude that the dissidents have not offered shareholders enough, in
     the way of a strategic plan for restoring shareholder value, to warrant
     replacing three directors in one year."*

The Clarus Board urges all stockholders to vote the WHITE proxy card FOR the
Board's nominees, and to discard any green proxy card or other materials they
may receive. For more information about how to vote, stockholders can call the
Company's proxy solicitor, Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. toll-free
