Misys Positioned as Leader in Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core Banking

LONDON, September 21, 2010 - Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and
services company, today announces that it has been positioned by Gartner,
Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for International Retail
Core Banking* 2010.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant assesses the suitability of
international retail core banking systems providers and their solutions to
address the challenges faced by the banking industry. It evaluates each
company against the criteria of "Completeness of Vision" and "Ability to
Execute", assessing their relevance to the changing conditions of the market.

"We are delighted with our positioning in the "Leaders"
quadrant by Gartner, which we believe confirms our goal of leading the market
with our revolutionary BankFusion solutions," states Al-Noor Ramji, EVP and
General Manager, Banking at Misys. "We have had tremendously positive
feedback on our BankFusion strategy and solutions from everyone we have
approached.

"As the financial services industry emerges from one of the
most turbulent periods in recent history, banks face a multitude of
regulatory and competitive challenges. BankFusion changes the rules for
financial services organisations, allowing them to serve their customers
faster, keep ahead of their competitors and improve the way they run their
operations in ways that have until now have been impossible."

Misys BankFusion is ground breaking in the way it enables
banks to respond to changes in customer and market demand more quickly and at
lower cost. The BankFusion platform not only forms the basis for Misys' new,
technologically advanced core banking solution, Misys BankFusion Universal
Banking, it also enables financial organisations to leverage their existing
applications.

By bridging the gap between Business and IT, it ensures a
better understanding of requirements and quality of deliverables. New
products and services can be rapidly assembled and deployed, and existing
products can be repackaged and re-featured, all by trained business users,
with minimal need for IT intervention or impact to the customer and the
system.
