Online Management of Open Account Trade Flows Now Available to Calyon Customers as Well as Traditional Trade Finance

LONDON, January 6 - Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces that Calyon, the corporate and investment
banking arm of Credit Agricole Group, has gone live with the innovative
purchase order and invoice management capabilities of Misys Trade Portal. The
new functionality enables Calyon to broaden its service offering to customers
to now include open account-based scenarios in support of advanced trade
payables and receivables financing mechanisms.

Trade finance has faced its own challenges over the last
fifteen months and as a result, organisations have been looking to broaden
their offering and satisfy the demand from customers for more flexible trade
finance products. Calyon, a long-standing customer of Misys, needed a
solution to enable it to offer tailor-made financial supply chain services
such as early payment services. Using Misys Trade Portal, Calyon is able to
give customers, such as the Casino Group, one of the world's leading food
retailers, an online portal through which they can also have a better, more
strategic relationship with their suppliers.

Calyon can now easily adapt its trade finance offering with
the easy-to-use capabilities in Misys Trade Portal. The solution is the only
one that truly offers end-to-end integrated online services, including
purchase order initiation, invoice presentation, automated submission of the
payment all on the same platform. These services are all provided alongside
traditional trade finance instruments such as Letters of Credit, Documentary
Collections and Guarantees on the platform. This benefit gives Calyon a
significant advantage over its competitors and the solution is integral to
the bank's growth plans in this space.

"Improving services with a competitive offering is vital to
our business. Working with Misys has enabled us to continue to innovate for
our customers and quickly respond to changing market conditions." states
Francois Cron, Head of Trade Finance e-Banking at Calyon. "The solution was
very quickly rolled out, from proof of concept and testing to implementation
in under twelve months and we already have a customer using it and taking
advantage of the innovative facilities the solution and platform provides."

"Innovation, flexibility and ease of use are the demands that
Misys and Calyon are both hearing from customers," said Olivier Berthier,
Solutions Director, Transaction Banking, Misys. "As a long-term partner of
Calyon, we're delighted that we were able to provide the latest innovations
for its trade finance business. Misys Trade Portal provides that to our
clients and in turn, helps them to deliver solutions and services that are
critical to their customers."
