Ground-Breaking Partnership Extends the Breadth of Processing Capabilities in Misys Summit FT

LONDON, June 7, 2010 - Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces that it has partnered with SmartStream
Technologies to deliver improved risk control and greater efficiency across
the entire trade transaction lifecycle.

The partnership brings together two leading software providers
to deliver a range of solutions that provide broad connectivity to market
participants and exchanges, improve processing efficiencies and reduce
operational risk throughout the transaction lifecycle.

SmartStream's market-leading reconciliation software will be
embedded into Misys Summit FT and Opics Plus to provide additional
transaction matching, exceptions and investigations management to Misys'
award-winning solutions. Both Summit's and Opics Plus' broad cross-asset
coverage including OTC derivatives, fixed income, FX, Equity and structured
products, will be enhanced further with the capabilities from SmartStream's
TLM software. Additionally, customers using Misys Opics Plus will benefit
from the cash management and nostro reconciliations improvements resulting
from the partnership.

Larry Mitchell, VP Solutions Management, Treasury & Capital
Markets at Misys, comments, "SmartStream's exceptional reconciliations
expertise, its strength in cash management and exchange-traded instruments,
as well as the strong links its solutions have with prime brokers, custodians
and confirmation venues, all add great value to our offering. This
partnership brings two complementary sets of solutions together to enable
financial institutions to grow through innovation, improve management of
liquidity and reduce costs through operational risk control and streamlined
processes."

Philippe Chambadal, CEO, SmartStream Technologies adds, "As a
market leader in transaction processing management, we understand the
post-trade matching, exception management and investigations needs of
institutions regardless of size, processes, or lines of business. The
combination of our knowledge in reconciliations and Misys' deep expertise in
treasury and capital markets processing brings the market a joined up
solution that significantly adds value to both our business propositions.
Crucially this partnership removes many of the integration elements for joint
SmartStream and Misys clients that would previously been managed by in-house
teams, enabling firms to reduce implementation costs and timescales, and
delivering a faster time to market."

The partnership will extends Misys Summit's reach further into
the exchange traded arena with SmartStream components for reconciliation,
exceptions handling, corporate actions coverage and links to industry third
parties. It will also add significant value to Summit Invest, the Misys
cross-asset buy-side solution, offering reconciliations capability, along
with integration to market-leading services such as Omgeo and links to
custodians and prime brokers.

As a result, the fully automated solution from SmartStream and
Misys brings greater visibility into the reconciliations and exceptions
management area for clients, a more cost-effective operation with decreased
risk and ultimately higher return on investment through end-to-end
exceptions-based transaction lifecycle processing of trades.

Users of the Misys Summit ASP solution will benefit from the
SmartStream Technologies solutions as it enables smaller market players and
buy-side organisations to benefit from these combined market-leading systems,
with more flexibility, speed to market and lower total cost of ownership.
