The outlook is positive for all our regions: We see solid momentum with each of our product lines. Demand for our new connector technology is increasing. Both our direct distribution and our emerging indirect channel business are very active and will contribute to the growth in the second half of the year."

Enterprise Customers. In the first half, the company added several new customers in all regions, representing key verticals. The automotive sector continued to be an important sector for Day with Mitsubishi and Nissan added as new customers. In Media and Entertainment, the company added Rundfunk Brandenburg Berlin, Hessischer Rundfunk and Data Transmission Network (DTN). In Singapore, Day expanded its presence in the public sector with DSTA and MinDef.

Channel Customers. Based on the innovative product portfolio Day was able to diversify its delivery channels by adding new revenue streams from OEM contracts. Day signed an agreement with FileNet to provide Web Content Management capabilities for the FileNet P8 platform. FAST, the global leader in enterprise search, has licensed Day's standardized content connectors for various legacy repositories. Chicago-based Acquity Group has developed a "Content Management on Demand" solution.

They are an excellent validation of the strength of our technology and open up valuable new customer segments and revenue streams," said Chris Stark, SVP of Sales at Day.

Product Leadership. Day launched 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.

Technology Leadership. Under the leadership of Day's CTO, David Nuescheler, the version 2.0 of the Content Repository for Java Technology API has been successfully initiated. As the head of this global initiative, Day Software hosted a face-to-face meeting in Basel, Switzerland, for the expert group that jointly develops JSR 283 (successor to JSR 170). Participating companies included BEA, EMC, FileNet, IBM, SUN, Oracle and many others. The next version of the standard will help to further improve the interoperability of content applications and content repositories.

The expert group discussed key elements for version 2.0 of the Content Repository for Java Technology API such as access control management, workspace and node-type management in addition to retention aspects of content or cross repository aspects. The latest version provides improved interoperability within the content repository through the addition of new standardized node types like meta information and internationalization.
