Boston, MA – November 9, 2006 –  Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced that Day and its premier customer McDonald’s are recipients of the Shared Insights 2006 Portal Excellence Award.

Contest winners were announced today at Shared Insights’ Portals, Collaboration and Content Conference at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston, MA. The award committee was chaired by Colin White of BI Research. Other judges included Theresa Regli of CMS Watch, Zach Wahl of Project Performance Corporation, Shawn Shell of Consejo, Inc., and Demir Barlas of Line56 Media. The judges evaluated return on investment, architectural design and innovative use of the portal technology.

With over 31,000 restaurants in more than 118 countries serving over 50 million people each day, McDonald’s is one of the most recognized brands on the planet. The company deployed Day Software’s Communiqué, the first native JSR 170-compliant enterprise content management (ECM) solution available, for its worldwide intra/extranet, ultimately reaching 1.5 million users who comprise McDonald’s global network of suppliers, employees and franchisees. The McDonald’s AccessMCD portal has allowed the company to improve publishing efficiencies by implementing consistent global content management processes for over 500 content authors. This implementation included the deployment of multiple sites with localized content using minimal resources. The solution has the flexibility to adapt to McDonald’s extensive future online plans.

“In today’s real-time environment, it is mission-critical that McDonald’s carry information and messages to our suppliers, franchisees, business partners and employers as quickly as possible. The global nature of the company’s business made this a complicated proposition,” said Michael Moppert, Chairman and CEO, Day Software. “We were pleased that Day’s Communiqué allowed McDonald’s to quickly and reliably create, personalize, manage and deliver content to the entire McFamily.”
