Dear George:

Over  the  past  two years, the legal and professional responsibilities for both
outside  board  members  and  chairpersons  of audit committees of publicly held
companies  have  expanded  significantly.  These additional responsibilities are
requiring  increased  time  commitments  to  fulfill my professional obligations
associated  with  these  positions.

Based  on these considerations, I have decided to resign, effective immediately,
from my position as Outside Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of Data
Software  and  Systems  Inc.  I  wish DSSI much success in its future endeavors.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Allen I. Schiff
