Company announces continued growth, sound profitability and record
license revenues

Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, California - May 14, 2008 - Day
Software Holding AG (SWX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of
global content management software, today announced financial results
for the first quarter ending March 31, 2008.

Financial Summary:

*          Total Revenue of CHF 7.4 million
*          License Revenue of CHF 4.3 million
*          Gross Profit of CHF 5.9 million
*          Pre-Tax Income of TCHF 507

The Company reported a record first quarter, achieving a 15% growth
in total revenue over the same period in 2007. Revenues for the first
quarter totaled CHF 7.4 million, compared with revenues of CHF 6.4
million for the first quarter of 2007. License revenues increased by
39% over last year, totaling CHF 4.3 million, compared with license
revenues of CHF 3.1 million for the same period last year. The
Company increased its gross profit to CHF 5.9 million compared to CHF
4.8 million for the same period in the previous year. Pre-tax income
for Q1 2008 was TCHF 507, compared to CHF 1.3 million in the first
quarter of 2007. The company remains debt free, and cash balance
increased to CHF 12.3 million, compared to a balance of CHF 11.5
million at the end of previous quarter.

"We are excited about the momentum of the company. Day is clearly
gaining market share: In the first quarter of 2008 we have seen the
highest license revenues in the history of the company - while
several of our competitors announced declining license revenues. The
acceleration of our license revenue growth is based on our vision to
be the leading provider of standards-based content solutions -
compared to other vendors who continue to focus on their proprietary
legacy systems," said Michael Moppert, CEO and chairman of Day. "We
are pleased that the overall business activity was particularly
strong in the U.S., with excellent activity in the U.K. and on the
continent. So far we have not seen signs of an economic slow down in
our markets."

"Service revenue for the quarter was below last year's results for
the same period as we have been busy organizing several large
engagements for the year, giving us a solid basis for the development
of our services business going forward. We also made investments in
our support infrastructure to better serve our growing global
customer base. As a result of these two factors net income for the
first quarter was below last year's result. Based on the current
business activity we expect a continuation of our growth with solid
profitability for the remainder of the year," Moppert concluded.

Day added several new customers in the quarter, representing a number
of vertical markets. Day expanded its presence in the public sector
with City of Chicago. In hospitality Day added Messe Frankfurt, the
world's largest trade fair organizer with its own exhibition grounds.
The Group has a presence in 150 countries and at more than 30
exhibition sites. In higher education Day added University of
Phoenix, the largest private university in North America.

Other new customers in key verticals include Allianz, Flagstar Bank
and Pacific Life in the financial services industry. Founded in 1890,
the Allianz Group is one of the leading global services providers in
insurance, banking and asset management. With approximately 181,000
employees worldwide the Allianz Group serves more than 80 million
customers in about 70 countries. Flagstar Bank, headquartered in
Troy, Michigan, has assets approaching $16 billion and is a growing,
successful community bank with approximately 165 banking centers in
Michigan, Indiana and Georgia. Pacific Life, founded in 1868,
provides life insurance products, annuities and mutual funds, and
offers a variety of investment products and services to individuals,
businesses, and pension plans. Pacific Life counts more than half of
the 50 largest U.S. companies as clients. Several of Day's existing
customers also made additional investments in its technology,
including Deutsche Post World Net, Edmunds.com, Nielsen and Nissan.

The Company continued to generate channel revenues in the first
quarter of 2008 from agreements with industry leaders such as
IBM/FileNet, Microsoft/FAST and Oracle, among others. A new OEM
agreement was signed in the quarter with Exstream Software, a
subsidiary of Hewlett Packard. Under the terms of the agreement,
Exstream will bundle Day's technology - CRX Repository, Communiqué
(CQ) Workflow, and CQ User Interface - with its Dialogue(TM) and
