                           PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

      This Purchase and Sale Agreement ("AGREEMENT"), dated as of April 5, 2002,
is among SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"),
General Atlantic Partners 15, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GAP 15"),
and GAP Coinvestment Partners, L.P., a New York limited partnership ("GAPCO" and
together with GAP 15, the "SELLERS").

                                   BACKGROUND

      Each of the Sellers desires to sell and the Company desires to purchase
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth opposite
the name of such Seller on Schedule 1.02 hereto (the "SECURITIES") on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

      THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

                                    SECTION I
                         PURCHASE AND SALE OF SECURITIES

      1.01 SALE OF SECURITIES. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees to
sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Company on the Closing Date (as
defined below) the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the name of
such Seller on Schedule 1.02 hereto, and the Company agree to purchase such
Securities from such Seller on the Closing Date, pursuant to this Agreement.

      1.02 PURCHASE PRICE. In full consideration of the sale of the Securities
by the Sellers, the Company shall pay to each Seller on the Closing Date the
aggregate amount set forth opposite the name of such Seller on Schedule 1.02
hereto, at Ten Dollars and Twelve and One Half Cents ($10.125) per share, for an
aggregate purchase price of Six Million Five Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Two
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($6,581,250.00) (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price
shall be paid by the wire transfer of immediately available funds to each
Seller's account as designated by such Seller.

      1.03 CLOSING. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "CLOSING") will take place by exchange of closing documents by
telecopier or by other means mutually agreed upon by the parties on April 10,
2002 (the "CLOSING DATE"). At the Closing, each Seller will deliver to the
Company a stock certificate or stock certificates representing at least the
number of Securities being sold by such Seller, along with a stock power
reasonably acceptable to the Company, against payment to such Seller of its
portion of the Purchase Price as set forth on Schedule 1.02 hereto and in
accordance with Section 1.02 of this Agreement. If any Seller delivers to the
Company a stock certificate or stock certificates representing in excess of the
number of Securities being sold by such Seller, the Company shall, not later
than 30 days after the Closing Date, deliver, or cause its transfer agent to
deliver, to such Seller a new certificate representing the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company constituting such excess. Such certificate shall not
contain any restrictive legends, provided that the Sellers shall first deliver
to the Company an opinion of legal counsel of Sellers
<PAGE>
to the effect that the Sellers are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Company on the date such certificate
is delivered and have not been affiliates of the Company during the three months
preceding such date.
