BOSTON, January 20 /PRNewswire/ --

Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon, announced that
Contango Capital Advisors will transition its installation of Eagle's data
management and performance solutions, currently managed in house, to Eagle
ACCESS(SM), Eagle's application service provider.

Contango selected Eagle in 2004 to help centralize and manage its data to
improve its management reporting capabilities. In 2008, Contango analyzed its
internal systems in search of areas where costs could be reduced. As a
result, the firm elected to move its middle and back-office applications to a
hosted service. Contango will continue to leverage the same technology and
functionality to manage and report its assets, with the added benefit of a
service that will manage its technology, including upgrades, systems support
and ownership of hardware and databases.

"Today, investment firms are seeking ways to cut budgets and reduce costs
quickly. The efficiency and cost savings opportunities associated with Eagle
ACCESS led to Contango's decision to transition to this service," said Brian
Bichler, Contango's chief investment officer. "We expect to see a 30% annual
cost reduction by moving to Eagle ACCESS and will likely realize a full
return on our investment by the end of the second quarter in 2009."

Eagle's hosted service, Eagle ACCESS, provides investment managers of all
sizes with solutions for data management, investment accounting and
performance measurement and attribution, combined with competitive pricing
and a high level of service.

"We're seeing a shift in our industry where investment managers are
demanding functionality, scalability and 24x7 access in a hosted environment
to eliminate the time and money spent on managing systems," said John Lehner,
president of Eagle. "Firms are looking for fiscally conservative options for
managing their business. As a result, we've seen our Eagle ACCESS business
grow significantly over the last 12 months, and our pipeline is similarly
strong."
