BOSTON, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon, today announced
that it has expanded its relationship with Microsoft to take full advantage
of Microsoft Windows(R) Presentation Foundation (WPF), a framework and tool
set for developing smart client applications that are deployable via the
Internet. With WPF, developers can create custom controls, graphics, 3D
images and animations that are not available in traditional HTML code.

Eagle is leveraging WPF to develop its investment management solutions
for data management, accounting and performance measurement, which are used
by the asset management industry's leading firms. Eagle has incorporated WPF
into its overall architecture to differentiate the user experience and take
advantage of its features to deliver a richer presentation of the
applications, improve its developer productivity, and build more dynamic
applications in a faster timeframe.

"Through our expanded relationship, WPF enables Eagle to provide a more
dynamic and interesting user experience through its delivery of enhanced
presentation code," said Marc Firenze, Eagle's chief development officer. "It
also provides a straightforward programming model and familiar design tools
for our developers, making it easy to adopt internally and develop solutions
faster."

"Financial software vendors are the latest industry group to take
advantage of the rich programming and presentation features and tools to
build out their applications," said Greg Urquhart, General Manager of
Microsoft's ISV & National SI Organization. "Microsoft is excited to see
Eagle take the presentation of their applications to the next level as they
meet the needs of our joint customers."
