SY Sybase, Inc.

Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), an industry leader in delivering enterprise and mobile software, today announced the results of an extensive Sybase�/Financial Insights� study conducted during the first quarter of 2009. Among the key findings: Despite the broad decline across the capital markets due to the financial crisis, spending on IT investments is expected to at least hold its ground, with some pockets of moderate growth, at both buy-side and sell-side firms in the year ahead.

�Emerging From a Crisis, a Sybase Study on Capital Markets� was conducted by Sybase and IDC Financial Insights from January through early March 2009, with the objective of determining the direction capital markets firms anticipate taking as they look past the current crisis. The study comprised more than 200 buy-side and sell-side firms, from broker-dealers and investment banks to money managers, hedge funds and other investment managers, with assets under management or capital (they are measured differently for buy- and sell-side) ranging from less than $10 billion to more than $100 billion.

�While capital markets firms are confronted with an extremely difficult market environment, the study's evidence suggests that they are diligently working to position themselves for future success,� said Sean O�Dowd, Capital Markets Senior Analyst, Financial Insights.

The Sybase survey confirms that not only are financial firms revamping their strategies across the capital markets, but they are doing so en masse and quickly. Two of every three buy-side firms�66% of buy-side firms surveyed�said they are actively planning changes to their businesses generally as a result of the crisis. A total of 80% of sell-side firms are making changes to their businesses to adjust to the crisis.

Among buy-side respondents, 51% expected to alter their firm�s strategy, specifically by increasing their emphasis on tighter business integration and exiting some business segments. Some 65% of sell-side firms expected to do the same, focusing on tighter business unit integration and potentially exploring M&A opportunities in response to the market situation.

External regulatory challenges are also influencing the strategies of firms participating in the survey, with greater levels of transparency and investor reporting expected to have the most impact among firms with AUM or capital above $100 billion. Sell-side respondents cited counterparty risk as one of the areas they felt would see a discernible impact from regulatory changes.

Some areas of IT investment are anticipated to moderately increase on the buy-side and the sell-side, with risk as a dominant area of expected investment. Both sell-side and buy-side firms said the area of compliance was a priority within the category of risk.

�Despite well publicized cutbacks hitting the financial services industry, this survey confirms what we have seen for the last six months,� said Sinan Baskan, financial markets director at Sybase. �The continued strong sales of Sybase's capital markets platform has been driven by a need for both buy-side and sell-side to invest in technology that delivers a clearer view of the markets and business activities in real-time.�
