March 17, 2000

Mr. Joseph Beninati
Chief Executive Officer
Greenwich Technology Partners
43 Gatehouse Road
Stamford, CT 06902

Dear Joe:

This letter agreement confirms our understanding that Greenwich Technology
Partners (the "Company" or "you") has engaged Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation and its affiliates, successors and assigns, as appropriate ("Credit
Suisse First Boston") to act as its exclusive placement agent in connection with
the private placement (the "Private Placement") by the Company or its affiliates
of Equity or Equity-Linked Securities (the "Securities").

1.  Appointment and Acceptance

The Company hereby appoints Credit Suisse First Boston as the Company's
exclusive placement agent in connection with a private placement of the
Securities and Credit Suisse First Boston accepts such appointment.

Credit Suisse First Boston agrees that in its capacity hereunder it will use
reasonable efforts to arrange a private placement of the Securities.  In no
event shall Credit Suisse First Boston be obligated to purchase the Securities
for its own account or for the accounts of its customers.

2.  Fees and Expenses

As compensation to Credit Suisse First Boston for its services hereunder, the
Company agrees to pay Credit Suisse First Boston promptly upon each closing of a
sale of the Securities, a cash placement fee equal to 6.0% of the total proceeds
raised in such sale (the "Placement Fee").  Such "total proceeds raised" shall
include both cash and non-cash consideration (including but not limited to
intellectual or intangible property, securities, labor or services rendered,
debt (or cancellation thereof) or tangible property).  Any non-cash
consideration provided to or received by the Company in connection with the
Private Placement, if any, shall be valued for purposes of calculating the
Placement Fee as equaling the number of shares issued by the Company in exchange
for such consideration multiplied by the per share price paid in the then
current round of financing.

Promptly upon request, the Company will reimburse Credit Suisse First Boston for
all of Credit Suisse First Boston's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with its activities
<PAGE>

hereunder, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its
legal counsel, if any, and of any other advisor retained by Credit Suisse First
Boston in connection with this engagement (it being understood that the
retention of any advisor, other than legal counsel, will be made with the prior
approval of the Company).

Such Placement Fee will be payable in respect of each such sale whether such
sale has been arranged by Credit Suisse First Boston, by another agent or
directly by the Company.

3.  Information

The Company will furnish Credit Suisse First Boston with all financial and other
information concerning the Company as Credit Suisse First Boston deems
appropriate in connection with the performance of the services contemplated by
this engagement and in that connection will provide Credit Suisse First Boston
with access to the Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants,
counsel and other representatives.  The Company acknowledges and confirms that
Credit Suisse First Boston (i) will rely solely on such information in the
performance of the services contemplated by this engagement without assuming any
responsibility for independent investigation or verification thereof, (ii)
assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information
or any other information regarding the Company and (iii) will not make any
appraisal of any assets of the Company.

The Company will be solely responsible for the contents of the private placement
memorandum or other offering document used in connection with the placement of
the Securities contemplated hereby (as such private placement memorandum or
other document may be amended or supplemented and including any information
incorporated therein by reference, the "Private Placement Memorandum") and any
and all other written or oral communications provided by or on behalf of the
Company to any actual or prospective purchaser of the Securities.  The Company
represents and warrants that the Private Placement Memorandum and such other
communications will not, at any time during the period of Credit Suisse First
Boston's engagement hereunder contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.  The Company authorizes Credit Suisse First
Boston to provide the Private Placement Memorandum to prospective purchasers of
the Securities.  If at any time prior to the completion of the offer and sale of
the Securities or the closing date of any such sale an event occurs as a result
of which the Private Placement Memorandum (as then supplemented or amended)
would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will
promptly notify Credit Suisse First Boston of such event and Credit Suisse First
Boston will suspend solicitations of prospective purchasers of the Securities
until such time as the Company shall prepare (and the Company agrees that, if it
shall have notified Credit Suisse First Boston to suspend solicitations after
the Company has accepted orders from prospective purchasers, it will promptly
prepare) a supplement or amendment to the Private Placement Memorandum which
corrects such statement(s) or omission(s).

4.  Exemption from Registration; Restrictions on Offer and Sale of Same or
    Similar Securities

It is understood that the offer and sale of the Securities will be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.  The Company will not, directly or
indirectly, make any offer or sale of Securities or of securities of the same or
a similar class as the Securities if as a result the offer and sale of
Securities contemplated hereby would fail to be entitled to the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Act provided for in such Section 4(2).

5.  Additional Restrictions on the Company

In connection with all offers and sales of the Securities:

The Company will not offer or sell the Securities by means of any form of
general solicitation or general advertising.

The Company will not offer or sell the Securities to any person who is not an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 under the Act.

The Company will exercise reasonable care to ensure that the purchasers of the
Securities are not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act
and, without limiting the foregoing, that such purchases will comply with Rule
502(d) under the Act.

The Company shall be deemed to make to Credit Suisse First Boston all
representations and warranties which it makes to purchasers of Securities in any
purchase agreement or other document.

6.  Compliance with State Securities Laws

The Company will take such action as is necessary to qualify the Securities for
offer and sale under the securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions
of the United States as Credit Suisse First Boston may specify.

7.  Indemnification

Since Credit Suisse First Boston will be acting on behalf of the Company in
connection with its engagement hereunder, the Company and Credit Suisse First
Boston have entered into a separate letter agreement (the "Indemnification
Agreement") dated the date hereof providing for the indemnification by the
Company of Credit Suisse First Boston and certain related persons and entities.

8.  Termination

The engagement of Credit Suisse First Boston hereunder (i) may be terminated at
any time, with or without cause, by either the Company or Credit Suisse First
Boston, upon ten days' prior
<PAGE>

written notice thereof to the other party and (ii) shall terminate, if no such
action described in clause (i) has been taken by Credit Suisse First Boston or
the Company, upon completion of the placement of the Securities contemplated
hereby.

In the event of any termination of Credit Suisse First Boston's engagement
hereunder, Credit Suisse First Boston will continue to be entitled to its full
Placement Fee provided for herein in the event that at any time prior to the
expiration of twelve months after any such termination the Company sells the
Securities or securities of the same or a similar class as the Securities to
either i) purchasers which were contacted by Credit Suisse First Boston in its
capacity as placement agent hereunder, or which the Company, during the term of
CSFB's engagement hereunder, approached or was approached by regarding the
placement of the Securities contemplated hereby, or ii) any purchasers if the
Company has accepted at least $10 million of securities as part of CSFB's
engagement.

No termination of Credit Suisse First Boston's engagement hereunder shall affect
(i) the Company's obligation to reimburse Credit Suisse First Boston for
expenses as provided for herein, (ii) the Company's obligations under the
Indemnification Agreement or (iii) the provisions of paragraphs 3-10 of this
letter agreement.

9.  General

No advice rendered by Credit Suisse First Boston, whether formal or informal may
be disclosed, in whole or in part, or summarized, excerpted from or otherwise
referred to without Credit Suisse First Boston's prior written consent.  In
addition, Credit Suisse First Boston may not be otherwise referred to without
its prior written consent.

Credit Suisse First Boston may, at its option and expense, and with the prior
consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the closing of the sale of the Securities in a Private
Placement or (ii) the public announcement of a Private Placement, place
announcements and advertisements in such financial and other newspapers and
journals as it may choose, stating that Credit Suisse First Boston has acted as
exclusive placement agent to the Company in connection with such Private
Placement.

At Credit Suisse First Boston's discretion, any right set forth herein may be
exercised, and any services to be provided by Credit Suisse First Boston may be
provided, by an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston.

This letter agreement and the Indemnification Agreement contain the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercede
and take precedence over all prior agreements or understandings, whether oral or
written, between Credit Suisse First Boston and the Company.

In connection with this engagement, Credit Suisse First Boston is acting as an
independent contractor and not in any other capacity, with duties owing solely
to the Company.

The validity and interpretation of this letter agreement shall be governed by,
and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be fully performed therein (excluding the
conflicts of laws rules).  The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or the United States District
Court for the Southern District of the State of New York for the purpose of any
suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this letter agreement, or any of

respective successors and assigns, and to the indemnified parties hereunder and

by jury in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of or in connection with
this letter agreement.

shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this

                                                                   Exhibit 10.29

                                              March 17, 2000

TO:  Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation
     Eleven Madison Avenue
     New York, NY 10010

In connection with the engagement (the "engagement") by Greenwich Technology
Partners (the "Company") of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("Credit
Suisse First Boston") to act as the Company's exclusive placement agent in
connection with the private placement (the "Private Placement") of Equity or
Equity-Linked securities (the "Securities"), the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Credit Suisse First Boston and its affiliates, the respective
directors, officers, partners, agents and employees of Credit Suisse First
Boston and its affiliates, and each other person, if any, controlling Credit
Suisse First Boston or any of its affiliates (collectively, "Indemnified
Persons") from and against, and the Company agrees that no Indemnified Person
shall have any liability to the Company or its owners, partners, affiliates,
security holders or creditors for, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(including actions or proceedings in respect thereof) (collectively, "Losses")
which (A) relate to, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or any
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the private placement
memorandum or other offering document used in connection with the Private
Placement (as such private placement memorandum or other document may be amended
or supplemented and including any information incorporated therein by reference,
the "Private Placement Memorandum"), or in any other written or oral
communication provided by or on behalf of the Company to any actual or
prospective purchaser of the Securities, or relate to, arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (B) otherwise
relate to or arise out of the engagement or Credit Suisse First Boston's
performance thereof, except that this clause (B) shall not apply to any Losses
that are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the bad
faith or gross negligence of Credit Suisse First Boston.

The Company agrees that if the indemnification provided for in the foregoing
paragraph is for any reason not available or insufficient to hold Credit Suisse
First Boston harmless, the Company will contribute to the Losses involved in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received (or
anticipated to be received) by the Company and by Credit Suisse First Boston
with respect to the engagement or, if such allocation is judicially determined
unavailable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect other equitable
considerations such as the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of
Credit Suisse First Boston on the other hand, provided, however, that, to the
                                              --------  -------
extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Persons shall not be
responsible for amounts which in the aggregate are in excess of the amount of
all
<PAGE>

fees actually received by Credit Suisse First Boston from the Company in
connection with the engagement. Relative benefits to the Company, on the one
hand, and to Credit Suisse First Boston, on the other hand, with respect to the
engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value
received or proposed to be received by the Company in connection with the
Private Placement, whether or not consummated, bears to (ii) all fees paid to
Credit Suisse First Boston by the Company in connection with the engagement.
Relative fault shall be determined, in the case of Losses arising out of or
based on any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company to Credit Suisse First Boston and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all expenses (including
without limitation reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and expenses
incurred in connection with preparing for and responding to third party
subpoenas) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating, preparing for or defending any action, claim, investigation,
inquiry, arbitration or other proceeding ("Action") in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (or enforcing this agreement or any
related engagement agreement), whether or not in connection with pending or
threatened litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a party, and whether or
not such Action is initiated or brought by Credit Suisse First Boston.  The
Company further agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not an Indemnified Person is
a party therein) unless the Company has given Credit Suisse First Boston
reasonable prior written notice thereof and has obtained an unconditional
release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising therefrom.

In the event that the Company is considering entering into one or a series of
transactions involving a merger or other business combination or a dissolution
or liquidation of all or a significant portion of its assets, the Company shall
promptly notify Credit Suisse First Boston in writing.  If requested by Credit
Suisse First Boston, the Company shall then establish alternative means of
providing for its obligations set forth herein on terms and conditions
reasonably satisfactory to Credit Suisse First Boston.

If multiple claims are brought against Credit Suisse First Boston in any Action
with respect to at least one or which indemnification is permitted under
applicable law and provided for under this agreement, the Company agrees that
any judgment, arbitration award or other monetary award shall be conclusively
deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and
provided for hereunder.

The Company's obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any
Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.  Solely for the purpose
of enforcing this
<PAGE>

agreement, the Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and to service
and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this agreement is
brought against any Indemnified Person. The Company acknowledges that in
connection with the engagement Credit Suisse First Boston is acting as an
independent contractor and not in any other capacity with duties owing solely to
the Company. CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON HEREBY AGREES, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY
AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON
BEHALF OF ITS SECURITY HOLDERS, TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT
TO ANY CLAIM, COUNTER-CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE ENGAGEMENT, CREDIT
SUISSE FIRST BOSTON'S PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR THIS AGREEMENT.

The provisions of this agreement shall apply to the engagement (including
related activities prior to the date hereof) and any modification thereof and
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of the completion or
termination of the engagement.  This agreement and any other agreements relating
to the engagement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

                                Very truly yours,

                                GREENWICH TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS
