    Second-quarter Results

    Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, increased $6.5 million to
$102.3 million, compared to revenues of $95.9 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2005. On a GAAP basis, the second-quarter earnings were $1.1 million or
$0.02 per common share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of
($2.5) million, or ($0.05) per common share on a basic and diluted basis in the
second-quarter of 2005. Second-quarter 2006 earnings included the expense
associated with adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires the expensing of stock options. The
adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in second-quarter 2006 expense of $3.3 million,
or $0.06 per common share on a basic and diluted basis.

    The restructuring to reduce costs and redirect spending into client related
functions, which we began in the first quarter, was completed in the second
quarter with a charge for the period of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per common share.
For comparative purposes, excluding the expense associated with SFAS 123R
adoption and the restructuring charge, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was
$5.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share compared with a net loss of
($1.8) million, or ($0.04) per common share on a basic and diluted basis in the
second-quarter of 2005. For year-over-year comparisons, it should be noted that
SFAS 123R was first implemented for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and prior
periods do not include its effect.

    Operating cash flows improved to $8.6 million for the quarter, compared to
$1.7 million in second-quarter 2005. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities were $121.0 million as of June 30, 2006. Days sales outstanding
(DSOs) were 66 days, a sequential decrease of 7 days. Deferred revenue
(including current and long-term) was $111.6 million as of June 30, 2006,
compared to $112.9 million as of March 31, 2006.

    "In the second quarter, we posted a significant increase in earnings while
at the same time making great strides in the transformation of the company" said
R. Andrew Eckert, Eclipsys president and chief executive officer. "We took four
important steps to strengthen our business. First, we have upgraded our sales
and marketing capabilities from top to bottom in order to win both new customers
and expand our product footprint at existing clients. Second, we have increased
our clinical implementation capacity to deliver on our commitment to reduce our
over-reliance on outside resources as well as enhance client delivery. Third,
with the Sysware transaction we have begun to establish an offshore presence,
which should help us increase profitability at a faster rate than revenue
growth. Finally, to better meet the needs of the rapidly growing ambulatory and
broader community healthcare markets, we increased the reach of our ambulatory
care offering by signing an OEM agreement with athenahealth, Inc. While we
didn't meet our software revenue goals in the second quarter, we've been working
hard to position both the organization and product portfolio to accelerate our
second half performance."

    Full year Guidance

    The company is updating its full year guidance. We anticipate that revenues
will be in the range of $422 million to $432 million and GAAP earnings per
diluted common share in the range of $0.13 to $0.19. Excluding the full year
restructuring charge and FAS123R this range is $0.52 to $0.58 per diluted common
share. Table 3 includes a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to the non-GAAP measure
used above.

    Investor Teleconference August 3

    Eclipsys senior executives will discuss the results during an investor
community teleconference scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday,
August 3. Persons interested in participating in the teleconference should call
(888) 423-3276 approximately 15 minutes before the conference is slated to
begin. For listen-only mode, participants should go to www.eclipsys.com prior to
the conference call to register and download the necessary audio software. An

    Non-GAAP Measures

    The financial results reported in this press release have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"). In addition to the GAAP results, the Company has provided net income
and earnings per share information for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2006 on a non-GAAP basis to exclude the effect of the restructuring
charge and implementation of SFAS 123R. These non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, any measure derived in
accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be inconsistent
with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other
companies. The restructuring charge and implementation of FAS 123R make
comparison of the Company's results with prior periods more difficult and
investors have indicated that they consider this supplemental non-GAAP
information useful in evaluating our results of operations and future prospects.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provided, when
considered in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, facilitate
understanding and evaluation of the Company's operating performance and future
prospects, as well as comparisons of our results with our prior period results
that did not include these charges and with results of other companies on a more
consistent basis. Internally, the Company uses this non-GAAP information for
forecasting and to help make management decisions, as an indicator of business
performance, and to evaluate management's effectiveness and help determine
bonuses for management and others. The Company has provided reconciling
information in the attachment to this release.

    Statements in this news release or the investor call referenced herein
concerning the company's sales and marketing initiatives, evolving India
operations, future financial results, operating performance, development
efforts, and the benefits provided by Eclipsys software and services are
forward-looking statements and actual results may differ from those projected
due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Future performance expectations are
predicated upon achievement of various sales and performance targets that may be
difficult to meet. Sales may be slower than expected due to market conditions,
competition, and other factors. Costs may be greater than anticipated due to the
potential need to increase spending to ensure performance in accordance with
commitments to clients and other factors. Software development may take longer
and cost more than expected, and incorporation of anticipated features and
functionality may be delayed, due to various factors including programming and
integration challenges and resource constraints. The market is highly
competitive. Eclipsys has recently released new software that has not yet been
widely implemented. Implementation and customization of Eclipsys software is
complex and time-consuming. Results depend upon a variety of factors and can
vary by client. Each client's circumstances are unique and may include
unforeseen issues that make it more difficult than anticipated to implement or
derive benefit from software, implementation or consulting services. The success
and timeliness of the company's services will depend at least in part upon
client involvement, which can be difficult to control. Eclipsys is required to
meet specified performance standards, and clients can terminate contracts,
assess penalties or reduce contract scope under certain circumstances. More
information about company risks is available in recent Form 10-K and other
filings made by Eclipsys from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Special attention is directed to the portions of those documents
