Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, California – November 5, 2007

Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTCQX: DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced general availability of its new Web 2.0 collaboration solution. Part of Day’s Communiqué family of products, Communiqué Advanced Collaboration (CQ AC) offers wiki, blog, and calendar functionality.
 
Providing centralized management for social media and essential metadata information, CQ AC enables connectivity to social computing, social networking and user participation. By providing efficient management through a central repository for all departments in the enterprise, CQ AC extends the value of rich media. The product also leverages Web 2.0 design features, such as an AJAX user interface, making ease-of-use a key benefit.
 
“Today, companies face significant challenges in managing new social content, in addition to the content that already resides in information silos across their organizations,” said David Nuescheler, CTO of Day. “Day’s new collaboration solution connects companies with the people that posses relevant information and feedback, enabling businesses to streamline management of their social media, while delivering the brand control and consistency required by our blue-chip customers.”

Fully integrated with Day’s CQ Web Content Management, CQ AC leverages the Java Content Repository (JCR) industry standard for content access, JSR 170, making it the only native JCR standard-compliant solution available. In addition, CQ AC allows companies to move from information to participation, all within the context of an online platform used to share opinions, insights, experiences and perspectives. CQ AC Wiki offers easy editing via standard wiki syntax, version history and comparison and email notification for content changes. Material created within the wiki is immediately indexed and available for full-text search. CQ AC Blog provides easy creation of blogs and posts, a rich text editor for content editing and RSS support. CQ AC Calendar allows users to create event schedules, different views for time-based events, including calendar view and display of multiple event hierarchies.
