Basel, Switzerland and Irvine, California – October 17, 2005 – Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced that  Penn State University Libraries have selected Communiqué as the content management solution for the University’s vast library system.  Penn State enrolls approximately 83,000 students at locations throughout Pennsylvania. The Libraries comprise thirty-eight libraries at twenty-four campuses throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is the fourteenth largest research library in North America.

With the vast quantity of Web-based information stored within the Libraries and the sheer number of users, the Libraries needed a content management system that would be user-friendly, present data in a variety of ways, and adjust for volume and future use needs.  Day’s flagship software, Communiqué, offered a scalable solution for these challenges because of the open, standards-based architecture and ease of integration with legacy systems that currently exist in the Libraries. Day also allows for multiple users with varying degrees of technical experience to contribute content to the Web site.

“The web has increasingly become a vital point of service to our students and faculty and, as such, we needed a content management system that could dynamically manage large amounts of information while consistently presenting the Libraries as the resource provider,” said Nancy L. Eaton, Dean of University Libraries at Penn State. . “We also wanted to utilize our existing technology and be able to scale for future needs. Day was able to work within the challenges of a large research library.”

The Libraries needed a system that could support dynamic content and retrieve data from any system. Day’s innovative JSR 170 compliant content repository will enable the Libraries to develop a system that can ingest and provide information to other applications.

“Day’s software will allow Penn State Libraries to seamlessly integrate data from multiple sources, consistently identify it as the resource provider, retrieve data easily and quickly, and provide students and faculty with dynamic, integrated online resources,” said Chris Stark, SVP Americas, Day Software. “Penn State is one of the most respected universities in the country, and we are honored to be working with them.”
