Latest in a String of Awards for the Innovative Solutions From Misys

LONDON, April 7, 2011 - Misys plc (FTSE: MSY.L), the global application software and
services company, today announces that it has come first in three categories
in the annual Structured Products Technology Rankings. The company has scored
impressive results in the rankings overall, strengthened by the
newly-acquired Sophis solutions.

Misys Summit MUST came top in the category for Trading Systems
- Interest Rates. Meanwhile Sophis came top in Equities for both the Pricing
& Analytics and the Trading Systems categories. Both Misys and Sophis were
also awarded top three places in a number of other categories, demonstrating
broad buy-side and sell-side coverage.

The high rankings gained by Misys demonstrate the
complementary capabilities of the solutions developed by Misys and Sophis and
underline the rationale for the acquisition of Sophis in March 2011.

Ed Ho, EVP and General Manager, Misys Treasury & Capital
Markets, comments: "The successes of Misys and Sophis in these rankings are a
great recognition of the product sets in both companies, but more
importantly, are a great demonstration of the complementary nature of the two
companies. Now with 500 capital markets customers globally and 1,800 domain
specialists, Misys has a cross-asset capability second-to-none that spans the
capital markets space."

All asset classes were included in the categories, evaluating
capabilities in pricing and analytics, risk management, regulatory, limits
and collateral management. The rankings recognise the key vendors and
solutions in the capital markets industry and highlight the technologies of
choice for financial institutions.

Summit MUST enables structured products to be created from any
combination of OTC instruments and securities, without custom programming,
using the same core system and workflow, documentation and risk routines as
flow trades. The solution provides greater flexibility, control and reporting
than spreadsheet or rigid in-house systems. Important aspects of the solution
that help to manage risk include collateral management, flexible valuation
and accounting, which are all parts of the front-to-back process in Misys
Summit FT.

The combination of Sophis VALUE for the buy-side and Sophis
RISQUE for the sell-side made a winning combination in the rankings. VALUE is
a cross-asset portfolio and risk management solution dedicated to the
buy-side, covering the whole STP process: investment management, risk
management, middle/back office and accounting. It combines sell-side level
financial and technological capabilities with the user-friendliness,
connectivity and ease of implementation required by the buy-side. RISQUE
allows the portfolio to be analysed from as many angles as the trader
chooses, from the most vanilla of flow business to the most advanced reaches
of the OTC market. RISQUE is used by more than a third of the world's top 25
banks.
