Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, CA - Oct 22, 2008 - Day
Software (SWX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of global
content management software, today announced it has been positioned
by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries Quadrant in the 2008 Enterprise
Content Management (ECM) Magic Quadrant report. The evaluation is
based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Gartner's inclusion of Day Software in the Visionaries Quadrant marks
a milestone for Day in its 2008 efforts to advance product
development with the release of its new CQ5 platform and its
expansion of its leadership team to drive greater global sales and
channel growth. Day Software sees Gartner's positioning as
confirmation of its product strengths and as insight to the growth
opportunities Day has with the launch of its CQ5 platform.

"In 2008, we invested heavily in enhancing our core infrastructure,
including our virtual repository for connecting legacy ECM content
silos and an integrated BPM engine in our new CQ5 offering" said
David Nuescheler, CTO Day Software. "We also advanced new offerings
around Digital Asset Management and Social Collaboration to
complement our traditional strength in Web Content Management. We see
Gartner's positioning of Day in the Visionary Quadrant as
confirmation of our continued technology and standards leadership."

According to the Gartner report: "Visionaries may offer all
capabilities natively or partner for several core ECM components.
Visionaries show a strong understanding of the market and anticipate
shifting drivers, and may lead efforts around standards, new
technologies or alternative delivery models, but they have less
ability to execute than the Leaders. They are building their market
presence."

Kevin Cochrane, Day Software's newly announced Chief Marketing
Officer, sees Gartner's report as validation of Day's opportunity for
2009. "Day Software has long been known as a open source and
technology leader in the industry. What excites me is not only the
strength of our latest product advancements, but also the new
executive leadership, strategy, and growth plans we have to take this
to market and broaden our market presence over the coming year."
