GTR Leaders in Trade readers poll and Financial-i 2011 Financial-i Leaders in Innovation Awards both put Misys top of the trade finance solution providers

Misys plc (FTSE: MSY.L), the global application software and services company, has been voted the "Best Trade Finance Software Provider" by the readers of Global Trade Review. Misys has also won the 2011 Financial-i Leaders in Innovation Award for the "Most Innovative Trade Finance Software". This adds to two other awards in 2011 for Misys in the transaction banking space and underlines its leadership position in that market.

More than 6,000 people voted in GTR's 2011 readers' poll and Misys was the clear leader for this award, according to the magazine.. The votes were cast by representatives of banks, financial institutions, insurers and brokers and the awards highlighted achievements in specific geographical regions and particular product lines.
