FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 7, 2008
             Misys delivers on promise to release open source code             
                       at Southern California Linux Expo                       
February 7, 2008: New York (PR Newswire) -- Misys plc (FTSE: MSY.L), the global
application software and services company announced today that it will release
components of proprietary source code to the open source community at the
Southern California Linux Expo (Scale), in Los Angeles on February 8. Scale
signifys Misys' first conference appearance into the open source arena.
"In October 2007, we announced our intention to release the Misys Connect
Healthcare solution to the open source community and now we're delivering on
our promise," said Bob Barthelmes, Executive Vice President and General Manager
of the newly created Open Source Solutions division at Misys. "We've been
focusing on forming partnerships that will (eventually) advance the
collaborative development and quality of new products and reduce the price of
software. We hope to improve healthcare delivery. That's our goal," said Bob.
To lead the company's vision, Misys has chosen former IBM executive and
healthcare business developer Tim Elwell to position Misys at the nucleus of
the healthcare open source development debate. "Working with the open source
community will require a leader who has integrity and supports the open source
requirement of transparency and who can lead as well as support a community of
innovators in an important attempt to improve healthcare delivery. Tim will
excel in this role," said Bob Barthelmes.
Under the direction of new Development Director Ryan Bloom, Misys plans to
release additional code and product roadmaps in the Spring. Misys also plans to
work with the open source community to attack the complex issues of systems
interoperability. As a founder of the Apache Portable Runtime project and a
major contributor to the Apache HTTPd 2.0 project, Ryan brings solid open
source credentials to the Misys team.
Misys will also demonstrate the utility of the Open Connect product later this
month at Healthcare's Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference
in Orlando.
