NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2002

Day (SWX:DAYN), the leading provider of Business Unification software announced today that Sogeti USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cap Gemini SA specializing in IT consulting services, has joined Day's Alliance Program.

As a member of Day's Alliance Program Sogeti USA will offer a portfolio of adaptable solutions and work with clients to design, develop and deploy solutions based on Communique Unify to satisfy their unique requirements. Sogeti USA's Pacific Coast unit is already working with Day on joint initiatives.

"Sogeti has strong local market presence across the United States and globally," stated Greg Walsh, VP of North American Sales for Day. "They understand both the local and global needs of IT implementations by multinational companies and the power of Communique Unify to satisfy those requirements."

On January 15, Day launched Communique Unify, a 100% Pure Java(TM) product designed to provide customers the highest level of reusability from IT investments by providing a robust infrastructure to efficiently manage and unify all digital content, information and processes throughout the enterprise. At the same time, Day also launched the fully Java(TM) version of its enterprise content management software Communique 3.0.

Communique Unify uses a software bus architecture called the ContentBus(TM). The ContentBus(TM) is a virtual repository for all enterprise content that turns raw data from any container or software system into manageable and re-useable content. It allows real-time read/write access to any data source, including file systems, databases, middleware, EAI tools, enterprise or custom applications and legacy business systems. The ContentBus(TM) unifies heterogeneous raw data from the various sources in a powerful data abstraction layer, homogenizes it with powerful content services, and allows for a single point of access to any data source. In addition, The ContentBus represents the most innovative foundation for future delivery of content oriented Web Services through support for SOAP and UDDI protocols.

Communique Unify combines the best of Enterprise Content Management, Portals, Commerce, Active Middleware and Business Process Automation in a 100% Java suite that runs in any J2EE application server and delivers more functionality at a fraction of the cost of combining single point solutions.
