SunGard Acquires Delphi Technologies Limited


DUBLIN, Ireland, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --

SunGard has acquired Delphi Technologies Limited (http://www.delphi.ie ),
a Dublin-based provider of consulting services and managed professional
services to Ireland's financial services, insurance and telecommunications
industries. Delphi Technologies Limited (Delphi) will become part of
SunGard's European Consulting Services business. The transaction, the terms
of which were not disclosed, is not expected to have a material impact on
SunGard's financial results.

Delphi was founded in 1988. It delivers consultancy services and managed
professional services to some of Ireland's largest financial services and
telecommunications companies. With over 140 staff and contractors, Delphi has
two main operating divisions: managed professional services, which offers
project management, business analysis and testing skills; and consultancy
services, which offers outsourced project management and best practice
services.

Martin Walsh, chief executive officer of Delphi, commented: "Delphi's
business has grown steadily over the last 20 years, mirroring the development
of Ireland's financial services industry. With Dublin now a top-10 financial
centre for both insurance and asset management*, we are well placed to
attract greater business from international financial institutions. Becoming
part of SunGard will help us to capture and capitalize on this business, and
give us international reach to sustain our growth."

Didier Neyrat, president of SunGard's European Consulting Services
business, said: "SunGard's acquisition of Delphi serves three key purposes:
it further extends our consulting capabilities in Europe growing our number
of consultants to over 700; it broadens our solution set to cover specific
quality and testing skills; and it helps to build our infrastructure in a
country where SunGard has more than 50 customers. Delphi has a good
reputation and an excellent customer base, and we look forward to integrating
it with SunGard Consulting Services over the coming months."
