DAY SOFTWARE NAMED A VISIONARY IN 2009 MAGIC QUADRANT FOR WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Friday 14. August 2009 - Day Software (SIX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries Quadrant in the 2009 Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management (WCM) report.1 The evaluation is based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Day’s WCM Visionary status follows earlier recognition in 2009 for Day’s CQ5 WCM platform. Following CQ5’s release in November, 2008, CQ5 was named by Infoworld in January as the “Best Web CMS” in their 2009 Technology of the Year Awards. Day believes that Gartner’s inclusion of Day Software in the WCM Visionaries Quadrant is a further testimony to the strength of its CQ5 platform, which has seen record adoption by leading global enterprises in the nine months since its release. More details on Day’s customer growth in the first half of 2009 can be found at http://www.day.com/1H09Earnings.
“At Day, we invested heavily in product development to enable our customers to transform how they engage, interact, and service customers through their online channel,” said Erik Hansen, CEO of Day Software. “CQ5 advanced a new paradigm for user experience and a modern, standards-based architecture designed for rapid development and low deployment costs. With CQ5, we have seen record interest in Day amongst leading global enterprises, and we are pleased to be recognized now by Gartner as a WCM Visionary.”
Gartner describes Visionaries in its Magic Quadrant report:
“Visionaries are very forward-thinking and technically focused. For example, their products may have unique multilingual capabilities or be driving the inherent direction of the market through their innovation and product development. To become Leaders, they need to work on some of the core aspects of their offerings and increase their Ability to Execute. They may need to build financial strength, functional breadth, service and support, geographical coverage or sales and distribution channels. Their evolution may hinge on the acceptance of a new technology, or on the development of partnerships that complement their strengths.”
David Nuescheler, Day’s CTO and architect of CQ5 commented, “This is been an exciting year bringing to market what we believe is a fundamentally new type of WCM platform for Web 2.0. Our dual focus on user experience and architectural standards in CQ5 has enabled us to meet a new generation of requirements from both Marketing and IT. We are thrilled to be named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WCM. We look forward to continued advancements in our WCM platform as we grow adoption of CQ5 throughout our expanding global customer and partner community.”
