Day Launches New Product Line -- Delivering Standardized Connectivity to Legacy Repositories; Standards Leader Ships JSR170 Connector for EMC Documentum.

BASEL, Switzerland & IRVINE, Calif. -- Day Software (SWX:DAYN)(OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced that the company is launching a series of standardized connectors for leading legacy repositories. The repository connectors are fully compliant with the Content Repository for Java Technology API standard (JSR170). The first of these groundbreaking interfaces to be delivered is for EMC Documentum. The Day connector will make enterprise content stored in Documentum's legacy repository accessible through the new industry standard, creating greater interoperability and openness. Other connectors that are in development include interfaces for FileNet, OpenText LiveLink, Microsoft SharePoint, IBM Domino.doc, Software AG Tamino and Interwoven, among others.

The EMC Documentum connector is part of Day's repository connectivity family of products that enable enterprises to access and manage all enterprise content through a standardized API. This technology allows the implementation of content access, search, versioning, synchronization and consolidation, leveraging future-proof standardization, even if the content resides in data stores that do not provide a JSR170-compliant API.

"JSR170 technology and connectors are key components for unlocking stored content and eliminating the information silos created by application-specific storage mechanisms and proprietary APIs," said David Nuescher, CTO, Day Software. "Day has been at the forefront of developing and deploying these technologies that enable companies to substantially reduce the complexity and cost of their information systems while making valuable content accessible throughout the enterprise and beyond."

Day's Repository Connectors provide a standardized JSR170 interface, allowing companies to access their most valuable assets -- information about its specific business, its processes, products, customers, and documents that previously resided in a proprietary repository. These documents and information can now be accessed through the JSR170 interface.

"The unprecedented success of JSR170 has lead to numerous requests from our channel partners and customers for the development of standardized connectors to legacy repositories," said Chris Stark, senior VP sales, Day Software. "These repository connectors will allow organizations to unlock and combine content from different repositories to better support business processes and departmental content-centric applications using and managing enterprise content."
