- Expanded Architecture Supports Latest Platforms; Solutions Offer Enhanced Usability, More Flexibility, and Swaps Support

Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services technology and a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon, today announced the availability of Eagle Version 9.0 (V9.0), a major technical and functional upgrade of its integrated suite of data management, investment accounting, and performance measurement solutions. In addition to new functionality added across the suite, Eagle has significantly enhanced the technical platform to provide better performance, usability, and more technical options to clients.

"It's widely known in the industry that Eagle is committed to research and development of our products, and this release represents many years of continuous investment. As a result, this latest version offers new functionality around supporting complex instrument types," said John Lehner, President of Eagle Investment Systems. "We've also expanded our technical platforms and feel that when clients are ready to upgrade to a new platform, we're ready to help them make that transition. We have already seen a number of clients move toward upgrading on Linux."

Eagle continually evaluates and integrates new technologies to support and enhance the system architecture that underlies its investment management solutions. V9.0 supports current versions of operating systems and databases to ensure higher availability, enhanced performance and a secure foundation to run all applications. This latest version supports Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and Linux operating systems and Oracle 10g and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 databases.

The functionality enhancements in V9.0 were based on a number of factors including input from clients and necessary support for changing industry regulations. New functionality has been added across all of Eagle solutions.

-- Data Management offers improved usability across the workflows, providing instinctive navigation. It also offers a redesigned rules editor for more intuitive interaction. New features include the ability to handle multi-leg swaps for derivatives, a pricing option for direct access to pricing information and the ability to make modifications,which enables access to readily-available audit information. -- Investment Accounting delivers new functionality to support the processing and settlement of swaps. New features were added to Eagle's Mutual Fund Accounting solution to support clients that work with third party administrators and investment managers. This latest version provides the ability to conduct more in-depth analysis of data for dissemination to a client's various audiences. For Eagle's Insurance Accounting solution, the latest version supports the most recent directives from regulators. -- The Performance Measurement suite now provides a dynamic performance analysis capability. This functionality was introduced to enable clients to regroup and filter security level performance at any time to support ad hoc analysis. The workflow around the GIPS(R) composite management module now enables an end-to-end solution to help clients maintain the composite through an automated process all the way through to creating necessary disclosures. The performance attribution module was expanded to include additional methodologies that helps meet both client and evolving industry requirements for both equity and fixed income attribution models. -- Information Delivery, a key component of the data management solution, which provides capabilities for reporting and dissemination of information, delivers a number of new packaged options for viewing and receiving information in V9.0. The solution was enhanced to allow more points of flexibility to enable clients to generate multiple views of data through the Eagle Data Mart, a tool enabling users to define their universe of reportable data and, in turn, deliver this enriched data to any downstream system or application.
