Industry Veteran Barry Bycoff Brings 25-Years Experience In Building
Marketing Leaders to Accelerate Day's 2009 Growth Plans

Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, Calif. - April 28, 2009 - Day
Software (SIX: DAYN, OTCQX: DYIHY), a leading provider of content
management and content infrastructure software, today announced the
nominations of Barry Bycoff and David Arnott to the Board of
Directors of Day Software. Elections for both nominees will be held
on May 19, 2009 at Day's Annual Shareholder meeting in Basel,
Switzerland.

Barry Bycoff brings over 25 years of experience in the computer and
software industry to Day Software. Bycoff is currently Executive
Chairman at Progress Software (NASDAQ:PRGS), a leading supplier of
application infrastructure software with revenue of $516M in FY2008
where he has served on the Board of Directors since March 2007. In
his role as Executive Chairman, Bycoff is responsible for directing
Progress Software's corporate strategy and growth initiatives. Prior
to his role as Executive Chairman, Bycoff was Venture Partner at
Pequot Ventures, where he worked with portfolio companies on their
operations and investment decisions and drove the $310M acquisition
in 2007 by eBay of StubHub, a leading online marketplace for the
resale of event tickets.

Bycoff brings to Day's board demonstrated ability to build companies
into highly profitable market leaders. In 1996, he founded Netegrity
and created a new product category for enterprise security software.
As Chairman, CEO and President, Barry directed the company's growth
from publicly held start up to one of the fastest growing software
companies in the industry with a dominant market share and revenues
of close to $100 million when the company was acquired by Computer
Associates for approximately $450 million at the end of November
2004.

Bycoff's history with Netegrity dates back to 1993, when he became
CEO of Software Developer's Corporation (SDC), a distributor of
technical software and hardware. Bycoff joined SDC when it was
feeling the effects of a changing software distribution business.
Turning the company around, he managed to double it in size and
return it to profitability. It was through conversations with
customers that he realized that, as the Internet took off, there
would be a huge need for e-business security software. Subsequent to
the Board buying into his vision, SDC was sold and the funds were
used to create Netegrity in 1996.

Prior to leading Netegrity, Bycoff was Chief Operating Officer at
MapInfo Corporation (MAPS), where he spent three years developing the
company into the leader in the geographic information systems market.
Before that, he was at Prime Computer where he served as Vice
President of Marketing and ran several business units. Bycoff also
currently serves as Chairman of the Board at Aveksa, a leading
provider of Enterprise Access Governance software and on the Board of
Visitors at Duke University Pratt School of Engineering.

Day's second nominee to its Board of Directors, David Arnott is
currently Member of the Executive Committee and Chief Financial
Officer of TEMENOS Group AG (SIX:TEMN), a leading provider of
integrated modular core banking systems to over 600 customers in over
120 countries. Since joining Temenos in 2001, David has guided
Temenos' rapid growth to become a global enterprise software leader
in the Finance vertical with over $400M in revenue in 2008. Prior to
joining the Group, Arnott worked as Chief Financial Officer of
Socieete Europeenne de Communication in Luxembourg and from 1996 to
1999 held a number of senior finance positions at Anglo-American plc,
a mining and precious metals trading company.

"We are excited about the nomination of these two industry veterans
to our board," said Michael Moppert, Chairman of Day Software. "Their
experiences building leading global software enterprises will give
Day additional strength as we accelerate our growth in 2009 and
continue to drive adoption of our marketing-leading CQ5 platform."
