CMS BONDEDGE LAUNCHES BONDEDGE EREPORTS FOR ADVENT SOFTWARE CLIENTS

Los Angeles and San Francisco: June 25, 2002
CMS BondEdge, an operating division of Interactive Data Corporation (Nasdaq: IDCO) and a leading provider of fixed income portfolio analytics and Advent Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADVS), announce that a selection of web-based BondEdge reports, eReports, are now available to Advent clients using Axys®, the company’s portfolio management and reporting solution. CMS BondEdge is a Partner in Advent Software’s Alliance Program.

Axys clients managing less than $500 million in fixed income assets can select from a subset of available BondEdge reports online, and transfer their portfolio holdings using both the Internet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). CMS BondEdge then models the portfolios and posts the reports for Axys clients to view on a client-specific secure website. In addition to various holdings and distributions reports, which include option-adjusted analytical measures, BondEdge eReports also include total return simulations, in-depth benchmark comparisons, and cash flow calendars.

“The reporting capabilities in BondEdge do a great job of complimenting the portfolio management analysis currently available to our Axys clients,” said Peter Caswell, President of Advent Software. "Our Alliance Program was established to further enhance the solutions we can offer our clients, by partnering with industry firms who are offering unique and useful solutions to asset managers.”

Laurie Adami, President of CMS BondEdge, adds, "We're very pleased to have partnered with Advent for eReports distribution. “BondEdge eReports allow us to deliver state-of-the-art fixed income analytics to an even broader cross-section of the fixed income community. The Advent client base was a natural fit for this venture."
