Global Demand for CQ5 Platform Accelerates with Major New Customer
Wins

Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, Calif. - October 13, 2009 - Day
Software (SIX: DAYN, OTCQX: DYIHY), a leading provider of content
management and content infrastructure software, today announced its
interim financial results for Q3 2009 with a 70% increase in license
revenue over Q3 2008. Day's Q3 license growth led to a 37% increase
in year-to-date license revenue over the corresponding period for
2008, up from 26% license revenue growth from Day's reported 1H 2009
financial results.

Day's Q3 license growth was driven by major new competitive wins and
increased installed based investment in Day's CQ5 Web Content
Management platform and new CQ5 Digital Asset Management (DAM) and
Social Collaboration (SoCo) modules. Globally, Day saw continued
strength across all major markets, with a resurgent U.K. operation
under Day's newly installed team achieving record growth to become
Day's second-largest market in Q3 after the United States (U.S.).

Eleven new customers joined the Day community in Q3. In North
America, Day added Newsweek (U.S.), Ingersoll-Rand (U.S.), and
Government of New Brunswick (Canada). In Europe, Day's new teams
added WGSN (U.K.), Prenatal (Italy), and Esselunga (Italy). Also in
Europe, Day saw new wins at both Fraunhofer (Germany) and Sympany
(Switzerland).

Nine existing customers upgraded and expanded the use of CQ5. Major
customer reinvestment in Day in Q3 included Clifford Chance and Audi
in the U.K., La Banque Postale in France, and Land Transport
Authority (LTA) in Singapore. In the U.S., Day also saw renewed
investment by major customers Nissan, Williams-Sonoma and
Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG).

"I am pleased to see that market interest in CQ5's open, modular
architecture and fun-of-use continues to drive customer traction
across all major sales regions," says Erik Hansen, CEO of Day
Software. "I am particularly pleased to see the strong contribution
to growth from the U.K. and the early returns to our dedication and
focused investment in building a strong U.K. operation."

Hansen concluded, "We continue to see a general trend towards
migrating from legacy Web 1.0 systems to new, modern content
management (CMS) platforms like CQ5. This was an excellent start to
the second half of the year, and we see an improved outlook for our
financial performance through the end of the year."
