Bank Upgrades to BankFusion Midas to Benefit From Latest Technology in Banking

LONDON, October 4, 2010 - Misys plc (FTSE: MSY.L), the global application software and
services company, today announces that Caixa Banco De Investimento has
selected Misys BankFusion Midas as its core banking system to underpin its
growth plans. As an existing Midas customer, the upgrade to BankFusion Midas
will enable the bank to take advantage of the latest technology in banking,
extend functionality and bring products faster to market for its customers.

Caixa Banco de Investimento (Caixa BI) is the investment
banking arm of Group Caixa Geral de Depositos, SA ("Group CGD"), the biggest
Portuguese banking group. Caixa BI's mission is to offer a full range of
investment banking services to its clients in Spain, Brazil, and Portugal by
offering a global and integrated financial service to clients. The BankFusion
Midas solution will be rapidly installed at its head office in Lisbon.

The bank wanted the lowest risk upgrade path to the most
modern platform available. It looked at a number of providers and decided
that the Misys BankFusion platform offered the quickest path to meet its
needs. Caixa BI will be using the BankFusion platform to support all the
activities of the investment bank, including syndicated lending, accounting,
back-office operations, payments and messaging. The new solution will enable
the bank to generate new workflow processes and externalise business rules
which will allow them to launch new products more easily.

"We were keen to install the best possible core banking
solution that would provide us with a platform that we anticipate will make
managing our existing business easier and help us achieve growth," comments
Antonio Bastos Martins, Executive Board Director, Caixa BI. "We were very
impressed with the innovative approach that Misys has taken with BankFusion.
Most significantly, we expect it will enable Caixa BI to adapt its processes
to reflect the requirements of the business and bring out products more
quickly. We see this as a platform which can support the future growth of the
business."

BankFusion allows business staff to understand how their
requirements are implemented across the solution, enabling new products to be
delivered more quickly and cost-effectively and helping to bridge the gap
between Business and IT. In addition, it automatically generates the system's
Java code, significantly reducing manual input and errors, whilst
accelerating solution modifications.

"Caixa BI is now able to 'process-enable' its existing
architecture and extend the functionality of Midas so that it can bring
products to its customers more effectively and more quickly," states Dermot
Briody
, Regional Sales Director, Europe for Misys. "Rather than go through a
costly and high-risk replacement of a core banking system, forward-looking
banks like Caixa BI are choosing an incremental approach to getting their
existing systems to work harder for their business needs. BankFusion allows
Caixa BI to re-engineer processes more simply, enabling it to localise the
solution for both its domestic Portuguese and international businesses. This
is a very significant win for Misys because it underlines how Misys
BankFusion Midas is the best upgrade path for Midas clients to give them the
flexibility for the future and maintain their competitive edge."

The bank has also selected Misys Almonde to help with its
regulatory requirements. Almonde will provide Caixa BI with a compliance and
reporting platform covering the key areas of Basel II reporting, risk
management and local reporting. Misys Almonde provides the ability to analyse
risks and profitability, and supports strategic decision making. Through
sophisticated scenario and stress tests, the user gains a much clearer
insight into their business. The integrated platform enables financial
institutions to manage the entire process from data import, analytics and
calculations, to four-dimensional viewing and reporting.
