Letter to Customers, Shareholders, and Partners from SAVVIS' Acting Chief Executive Officer

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2005--SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVVS), a leading global IT utility services provider, today released the following letter from its Acting Chief Executive Officer, Jack Finlayson.

To Our Customers, Shareholders, and Partners:

I believe it is important to share with you what I have been doing over the last week since our Board of Directors asked me to serve as Acting Chief Executive Officer. While I cannot comment on the pending litigation by American Express or our Audit Committee's investigation, I hope this information will help you understand SAVVIS' determination to continue to perform for our customers, shareholders, and partners.

My primary objective has been to communicate that SAVVIS will not allow this internal matter to interfere with our ability to serve the needs of our customers and to build value for our shareholders. To achieve this goal, I have been meeting with our stakeholders, listening to their concerns, and learning how we can become a better company.

Virtually everyone that I have spoken with has expressed a sincere desire that SAVVIS deal with this situation in a responsible, forthright and timely manner, and that is precisely what we are doing.

I have learned that our employees are more determined than ever to demonstrate the true character of our Company. Our customers have assured me they recognize the value of our products and services, and they are pleased with the way we have dealt with the current situation. In addition, the shareholders and potential investors with whom I have met have shared their enthusiasm for SAVVIS' steady improvement in financial performance as recently reported, and their approval of our Board's decision to conduct a thorough and fair investigation. The investment community also is pleased with the record level of new business we achieved in the third quarter and encourages us to continue to deliver strong financial results.

You have my pledge that I will do everything I can to grow our business and provide outstanding service. I see the same resolve in my colleagues on the SAVVIS team. I appreciate your support and the words of encouragement that I have already received as we work to move SAVVIS forward.

Respectfully submitted,

Jack Finlayson
