Wayne, PA — December 21, 2009 – SunGard today announced that effective January 1, 2010 Robert Woods will be its new chief financial officer. Mr. Woods succeeds Michael Ruane who remains with SunGard as chief financial officer of its Availability Services business.

Most recently, Mr. Woods, age 54, was chief financial officer of IKON Office Solutions from 2004 to 2009. Previously, he served as vice president and controller; and vice president and treasurer at IBM Corporation; and vice president, finance for IBM Asia-Pacific.
