NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2003

Day Software (Swiss:DIHZn.S) today announced that QinetiQ, the science and technology powerhouse formed from the major part of the British Government's DERA, has re-engineered its Internet Web site http://www.QinetiQ.com using Day Communique.

QinetiQ required a content management platform that would allow it to reuse content across its Internet sites and offer advanced functionality.

QinetiQ believes that the Internet is a key medium for communicating its brand name, business offering and consequently driving business growth. Communique enabled QinetiQ to redesign all of its Web content and allow authorized staff to update the site in real-time.

"Communique ensures that the scalability and flexibility we demand can satisfy our current and future needs. The efficiency gains going forward will be significant," said Hamish Robertson, head of Digital Content Management at QinetiQ.

Day's Communique technology was selected as it offered most of the functionalities required to meet QinetiQ's business requirements today and in the future. The most important criteria were real-time management of digital information, scalability and interoperability.

The system also had to be readily upgradeable to handle growing content requirements, and had to be integrated seamlessly with existing IT systems.
