BOSTON, June 11 /PRNewswire/ --

- 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.
