BASEL, Switzerland and IRVINE, Calif. – March 14, 2006 – Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced the general availability of Day Content Repository Extreme (CRX) version 1.1, the latest version of Day’s innovative product that enables the storage, management and exchange of content across large-scale enterprises and fully implements the future-proof Content Repository API for Java Technology JCR (JSR 170).

 
Day CRX provides an open, standards-based infrastructure for integrating business applications with any structured or unstructured content in an enterprise. New features in Day CRX enable the exchange of high-value content between applications and repositories. Major feature enhancements include:

• Virtualization: the ability for CRX to connect to legacy repositories through CRX connectors and allow users to browse and search in a single view.
  
• Integration with Microsoft SQLServer: CRX allows now to store and retrieve the content managed with CRX using MS SQLServer as the persistence layer. This integration enables customers with an MS SQLServer infrastructure to simultaneously leverage the benefits of CRX and their existing MS SQLServer-centric IT standards and procedures.
• Integration with Oracle RDBMS: similar benefits as Micorsoft SQL Server integration
• Improved support for the development and implementation of CRX adapters and connectors: adapters allow applications to access JCR compliant repositories and CRX connectors make legacy repositories JCR compliant
• Improved resource management capabilities and overall performance increases
  

Day CRX is the first content repository on the market to offer complete support for the Content Repository for Java technology API (JCR), specified in the Java Specification Request 170 (JSR 170). Day CRX enables applications to store, manage and access content in a robust Java technology-based repository, regardless of which platform, database, storage device, business or Web application was used to create the content. This will substantially mitigate the cost and complexity of maintaining and integrating content across an enterprise, and protect past and future technology investments in content repositories and applications.

“Today, companies face significant challenges in managing the exponential growth of new enterprise content, in addition to the content that already resides in information silos across their organization,” said Michael Moppert, CEO and Chairman of Day Software. “We are delighted to offer Day CRX version 1.1, our most advanced repository so far, to help organizations easily store, manage and exchange content, no matter what application was used to create it.”

“From the beginning, Day has held a leadership role in developing JSR 170 because we understand the profound impact that content repositories are having on the software infrastructure of global enterprises. Those companies with fast, easy access to business content have a significant advantage over their competitors, can provide world-class customer service, and have the ability to offer truly innovative products and services in their industries,” said David Nuescheler, CTO of Day Software. “As the first open, industry-approved standard for building content repositories, JSR 170 has the potential to transform the way business applications and content infrastructures are architected in the future, which will fundamentally change the way users access content throughout the enterprise.”
