Frankfurt am Main –Misys Banking Systems announces today (27 March 2006) that C. Frederick Friedman has been appointed as the new managing director of its Treasury and Capital Markets office in Frankfurt.

He joins Misys from GL Trade Frankfurt, where he was the area sales manager for Fermat Risk Management Software, with responsibility for Germany , Austria and Switzerland.

Mr Friedman has more than 20 years sales experience in the financial services industry, having worked at such institutions as Merrill Lynch, SWIFT, Bloomberg and Front Capital Systems.

He brings with him in-depth knowledge of the investment banking industry and has a successful track record in providing solutions to financial institutions in Germany and central Europe.

Mr. Friedman is an American citizen, but speaks fluent German and has lived in the Frankfurt area for more than a decade. “I am delighted to be joining Misys Banking Systems,” says Frederick Friedman. “The product portfolio is going from strength-to-strength in Germany and central Europe, and Misys has a fantastic track record of responding to customer needs with innovative and robust solutions. This is an exciting time to come on board to help guide and shape the growth of the business by continuing to demonstrate our understanding of our clients needs.”
