Exhibit 10.21


                           SunGard Data Systems Inc.
                     Summary Description of the Company's
                Long-Term Executive Incentive Compensation Plan


SunGard Data Systems Inc. has a long-term incentive compensation plan for its
executive officers and other key management employees.  The principal purposes
of this plan are to further align the interests of the executives and key
employees with those of the Company's stockholders and to further reward
successful performance.

The plan currently involves the grant of performance accelerated stock options
("PASOs") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.  PASOs are
nonqualified options (i.e., will not qualify as incentive stock options for tax
purposes) that are granted annually at the beginning of a three-year performance
period and have a term of ten years beginning on the date of grant.  Shares vest
under PASOs nine and one-half years after the date of grant, except that vesting
may be accelerated in part or in full at the end of the three-year performance
period to the extent certain financial performance goals are met.  In addition,
if performance goals for the three-year performance period are exceeded, the
recipient will receive additional cash compensation upon the completion of the
three-year performance period.

The number of option shares granted to each participant under a PASO is
determined on the basis of an analysis of competitive equity compensation
programs, and is subject to subjective adjustments based upon individual
factors.  The financial performance goals for each PASO are based upon the
cumulative growth, during the three-year period covered by the PASO, in the
operating income of the business unit(s) managed by the participant, with the
growth targets for all PASOs, taken together, being consistent with the
Company's overall growth objectives.

The Company currently plans, but will have no legal obligation or commitment, to
continue granting such PASOs (or comparable awards) on an annual basis, subject
to approval by the Equity Award Subcommittee of the Compensation Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors.
