-- Worldwide contest encourages development of content-centric
applications leveraging Day CRX  --

Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, CA - March 26, 2008

Day Software (SWX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of global
content management and content infrastructure software, today
announced the launch of the company's first global Day JCR Cup 2008
competition, designed to encourage the development of content-centric
applications based on the Java Content Repository (JCR) application
programming interface (API) for content access, JSR 170.

Leveraging Day's CRX, a fully JCR-compliant content repository based
on Apache Jackrabbit,  and the bundled easy-to-use, rapid web
development framework  contest participants will be challenged to
create blogs, wikis, business process management, multi-channel
content delivery and enterprise content management applications that
demonstrate originality, high-quality design and code, appropriate
use of the JCR application programming interface (API).

Entries will be accepted through 12am Pacific Coast Time, July 31,
2008 and will be judged by a panel of well-known developers and
technologists, including David Nuescheler, Day's chief technology
officer and the spec lead for JSR 170 and JSR 283; Joseph B.
Ottinger, editor of TheServerSide; and Michael Marth, an industry
expert on Java and Open Source technologies. The winner will receive
a fully-loaded MacBook Pro with a 17-inch widescreen.

"In the past, content-centric applications were typically built using
legacy repositories, databases and file-systems that lacked
standardized infrastructural facilities," said Nuescheler. "Today,
the JCR standard, in conjunction with JCR-compliant repositories,
represents the ideal foundation for new content-centric applications
that can be built quickly and elegantly, with a focus on users and
their content. We're excited to see the creative entries submitted
by  competition participants and look forward to naming a winner this
summer."

Day's technologies allow companies to access their most valuable
assets - information about their specific businesses, processes,
products, customers and documents, which were previously 'locked' in
proprietary repositories. Working with industry leaders such as EMC,
IBM, SUN and Oracle, Day initiated and drove industry adoption JSR
170. Under the leadership of Nuescheler, JSR 283 (version 2.0 of the
Content Repository for Java Technology API), has successfully cleared
Public Review. The next version of the standard will help to further
improve the interoperability of content applications and content
repositories.
