Viteos Capital Market Services Selects Paladyne Systems as its Global Technology Solution

Viteos Offers Complete Fund Administration and Hedge Fund Operations Support

NEW YORK, NY, March 2, 2006– Paladyne Systems, a leading provider of alternative investment solutions, and Viteos Capital Market Services, a global fund administrator and hedge fund operations service provider, today announced a partnership to provide technology and comprehensive services to the alternative investment industry. Viteos has licensed the PALADYNE™ suite, a fully integrated front- to back-office technology platform, to provide fund administration and outsourced middle- and back-office hedge fund services. Viteos will also offer the PALADYNE suite to their customers by providing direct client access to selected applications such as order management, real-time PNL, and analytics.

The PALADYNE suite is a fully hosted, integrated set of applications designed to service today’s most comprehensive hedge funds. Viteos will use the PALADYNE suite to provide superior service to hedge funds of all size and complexity at a lower cost than the current leading fund administrators. By sharing the technology platform with their clients, Viteos will streamline operations and reduce cost and business risk both internally and for their customers, making them more attractive to potential investors.

“Having reviewed various technology solution providers in this marketplace, Viteos chose to partner with Paladyne given the unique ability of their product suite to address the front- and back-office needs of global, multi-strategy hedge funds. The combination of Paladyne’s technology and our domain expertise combined with highly qualified accountants gives Viteos a significant competitive advantage in scope of services, technology, and cost relative to other hedge fund service providers,” said Shankar Iyer, CEO of Viteos Capital Market Services.

“As the fund administration industry continues to consolidate and becomes more competitive, administrators need to focus on streamlining operations and scaling their business with technology,” said Sameer Shalaby, CEO of Paladyne Systems. “Viteos clearly is ahead of the curve in understanding this trend, and we are excited to deliver our highly scalable and robust solution to Viteos and their customers.”
