Misys Asset Management Systems has appointed Peter Miller and Peter McKenna as directors of sales and marketing, respectively. Miller is charged with leading Misys Asset Management Systems' sales efforts in the U.K., Scandinavia, Africa and the Gulf.

At least we can admire the nice weather and some of the best quotes of the week.
