                           SunGard Data Systems Inc.
                     Announces Third Quarter 1995 Results,
                      Acquisitions and Management Changes


     Wayne, PA -- SunGard Data Systems Inc. reported today that net income for
     the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $12,008,000, compared to net
     income of $10,744,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  Fully diluted
     earnings per share were $0.31 for the quarter, compared to $0.28 for the
     quarter ended September 30, 1994.  Results for 1995's third quarter include
     one-time, after-tax merger costs of $1,351,000 associated with the
     previously announced acquisition of Intelus Corporation.  Excluding the
     one-time costs, net income for the quarter was $13,359,000, an increase of
     24.3% over net income for the third quarter of 1994, and fully diluted
     earnings per share were $0.34, an increase of 21.4%.

     For the first nine months of 1995, net income was $35,347,000, compared to
     the prior year's nine-month results of $30,585,000.  Fully diluted earnings
     per share were $0.91, compared to $0.79 for the first nine months of 1994.
     Excluding the one-time, after-tax merger costs, net income for the quarter
     ended September 30, 1995 was $36,698,000, an increase of 20.0%, and fully
     diluted earnings per share were $0.95, an increase of 20.3%.

     Revenues for the third quarter of 1995 were $132,114,000, up 20.2% over
     third-quarter 1994 revenues of $109,908,000.  For the nine months ended
     September 30, 1995, revenues of $378,723,000 increased 19.6% over revenues
     of $316,652,000 for the comparable period last year.

     James L. Mann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Results for
     the third quarter met
<PAGE>
 
     expectations.  As previously announced, our outlook for fully diluted
     earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1995 remains in the
     range of $1.26 to $1.31, prior to merger costs."  This outlook, which may
     change, is based upon management's current assessment of both internal and
     external factors.

     Mann continued, "Our acquisition activity level in the third quarter of
     1995 was particularly high.  In addition to the acquisitions of Bi-Tech
     Software, Inc. on July 14 and Intelus Corporation on August 31, we
     announced definitive agreements to acquire MACESS Corporation and
     Renaissance Software Inc.  Also during the third quarter, we acquired All
     Solutions Financial Systems of Perth, Western Australia, and Market
     Investment Solutions Inc. (MIS) of Aurora, Colorado."  All Solutions, a
     provider of fund and asset administration systems in Australia and New
     Zealand, joins SunGard's Trust and Shareholder Systems Group.  MIS, a
     provider of PC-based investment management, accounting and reporting
     systems for the insurance industry, is part of SunGard's Financial Systems
     Group.

     SunGard also announced the naming of two new group chief executives.
     Michael K. Muratore has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of
     SunGard's Financial Systems Group.  Mr. Muratore's former position, Chief
     Executive Officer of SunGard's Computer Services Group, has been filled by
     Bruce H. Battjer.  Since joining the company in 1990, Mr. Battjer, age 44,
     has served in various executive positions in SunGard's Recovery Services
     Group, most recently as President of SunGard Planning Solutions.

     SunGard's business is computer service and application software.  The
     Company is the only large specialized provider of proprietary investment
     support systems, is the pioneer and a leading provider of comprehensive
     computer disaster recovery services, and also provides proprietary
     healthcare information systems.  Its common stock is reported on The Nasdaq
     Stock Market and the London Stock Exchange under the symbol SNDT.
