BOSTON, May 5 /PRNewswire/ --

Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon, has welcomed
approximately 400 attendees, a record attendance, at its 2008 Client
Conference being held at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida from May 4 -- 7.

The client conference is aimed at educating clients on new product
functionality and industry trends, and includes informative presentations on
future product plans, client success stories, and corporate initiatives. Many
of the sessions are interactive allowing Eagle's product and development
managers to openly discuss new ideas and solutions with clients. The
conference also promotes open communication between Eagle and its clients and
ample opportunity for networking with Eagle and other guests.

"The Eagle client conference is the ideal setting to get to know our
clients on a more personal level and hear first-hand about their Eagle
experience. It is also a terrific opportunity for clients to network and
exchange innovative ideas using our solutions," said John Lehner, president
of Eagle Investment Systems. "We have experienced a lot of momentum over the
last 18 months, and we are excited that our clients share our enthusiasm,
which we feel is represented by the record number of attendees at our
conference this year."

Eagle Version 9.0 (V9.0)

Eagle's latest version of its software, V9.0, which will be available
later this month, is one of the most anticipated highlights of the event.
Many of the sessions are focused on educating users about the latest version,
and guests can view the new functionality in action in the Product and
Partner Pavilion where kiosks and booths are set up to offer demonstrations.
While the focus of V9.0 has remained on improving usability and workflow, the
version also offers new functionality across all Eagle solutions.

Data Management Highlights

In V9.0, Eagle's data management solution has been enhanced with improved
usability across the workflows providing easier maneuverability. 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 modify the
system so users can readily access audit information.

Investment Accounting Highlights

V9.0 offers significant functionality around the processing and
settlement of derivatives. Additionally, new features have been added to
Eagle's Mutual Fund Accounting solution, which meets the needs of clients
that support third party administrators and investment managers. V9.0
provides the ability to conduct more in-depth analysis of data that can be
delivered to a client's specific audiences. For Eagle's Insurance Accounting
solution, the latest version also supports the latest mandates from
regulatory bodies.

Performance Highlights

Eagle's performance measurement solution suite, which consists of
portfolio performance, GIPS(R) composite management, performance attribution
and mutual fund performance, has been enhanced as a result of client
feedback. A dynamic performance analysis capability was introduced to enable
clients to regroup and filter security level performance on-the-fly to
support ad hoc analysis and accommodate more robust look-though 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 help meet both client and evolving industry requirements
for both equity and fixed income attribution models.

Information Delivery Highlights

Information delivery, the calculation, derivation and delivery of
financial information, offers a number of new packaged options for viewing
and receiving information in V9.0. Also driven by client priorities, V9.0 was
enhanced to allow more points of flexibility that enable clients to generate
multiple perspectives of data through the Eagle Data Mart, a tool set that
allows the business to define its universe of reportable data and in turn
provide access to this enriched data to any downstream system or application.
