Netsmart Technologies Moving to Long Island Business and Technology Center
Netsmart's Move Is Indicative of Growth and Expansion for Corporation 


ISLIP, N.Y., Nov. 13  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Netsmart Technologies, Inc. , a
leading supplier of enterprise-wide software for health and human services
providers through its wholly owned subsidiary, Creative Socio-Medics (Creative),
today announced that corporate headquarters will be relocating by December 2003
to the Long Island Business and Technology Center in Great River, NY.

James Conway, CEO of Netsmart, said,  "This move to our new corporate
headquarters is a critical step in our evolution as a leading information
technology solutions provider to the health and human services marketplace." He
continued, "The space at 3500 Sunrise Highway in Great River is expected to
provide us with an ideal platform from where we can further expand our business
which includes services and infrastructure necessary in creating a community
approach with our staff."

Netsmart will join such prominent Long Island Business and Technology Center
tenants as Verizon Communications and Stony Brook University Emerging
Technologies in one of the most high-technology facility in the region. In
addition to its new headquarters, Netsmart will continue to operate regional
offices in Columbus, Ohio; Ann Arbor, MI; and San Diego, CA.

"In line with our solid growth pattern over the past five years, we have decided
to move to a larger, more technology friendly environment.  After a
comprehensive search, we choose the Long Island Business and Technology Center,"
said Jerry Koop, CEO of Creative. Koop continued, "With 160 staff and climbing,
our current facility's 17,000 sq. ft. is insufficient.  The Great River facility
has over 32,610 sq. ft. dedicated to Netsmart and the infrastructure has been
designed with high-technology companies in mind."

Robert B. Simonson and Arthur R. Stern of CRG Real Estate Services, LLC, an
affiliate of Cogswell Realty Group, LLC, represented the Long Island Business
and Technology Center in the negotiations.  The Long Island Business and
Technology Center is a joint venture of the Rudin Family and Cogswell Realty
Group, LLC.
