Adobe Finalizes Day Software Acquisition

Not sure which company's logo to use... Goodbye, Day Software, as we knew you. Hello, Adobe WCM/CEM, or Adobe super-duper content authoring, or whatever it is Adobe will rebrand Day to.

The deal is a done deal though, as announced earlier, with more than 98% of shares in Adobe’s pockets. The acquisition is final.

Perspectives: What the Adobe + Day Software Deal Means, Part 1

Any acquisition (and there have been quite a few of them lately) in the content management industry usually makes a splash. Today, it was Day's day to stir up the media, analysts, bloggers, twitterati and industry watchers; provoking pontifications around the announced US$ 240 mil. acquisition by Adobe.

Here’s the first look at what the industry was buzzing about and what some of the possible implications of the deal might be -- for Day, for Adobe, for the market.

Goodbye, JCR Cup. Hello, Agility Cup

It didn’t take Day Software (news, site) long to follow up on the release of CRX 2.1 with their next JCR Cup announcement.

The competition is on, but under a different name -- Agility Cup -- and open to a wider audience than in the past.

Don’t you just dream of coding away on an iPad from your couch, while taking advantage of JSR-283 and CMIS standards support (leveraging Apache Chemistry) and the ability to develop, package and share your composite content applications?

If that’s the case, Day Software’s (news, site) latest release of CRX (Content Repository eXtreme), Day's commercial JCR repository/application platform, was made for you.

Day's Customer Summit to Ignite in Europe and US

Day's Customer Summit to Ignite in Europe and U.S.

Day's customer? Evaluating Day CQ5 CMS? CMS geek generally curious about the present and the future of web content management? Check out Day’s (news, site) Ignite 2009 customer summit scheduled to take place in Zürich (October 14-15, 2009) and Chicago (October 28-29, 2009).

Day’s plan for this event is, mainly, to share strategies and customer stories around CQ5 Web CMS that was released in November 2008. CQ5.2 that came out earlier this year included new DAM and Social Collaboration features.

There are several tracks planned at the summit, including business and technical. The business track is focused on CMS project objectives, CQ5 selection and criteria, and CQ5 business results. In the technical track, attendees will look into CMS project objectives and implementation plan, CQ5 deployment details, and lessons learned in best leveraging Day’s CQ5.

Very often, it’s best to get right into the vendor’s camp if you want to get more insight into what’s going on with the company and where it is going. While, as we reported, Day has had many good days lately, nothing beats a chance of being able to talk to the actual customer who had already put a check mark next to that line that says “CMS implementation.” Getting direct access to Day’s management and technical teams wouldn’t hurt either.

A bit of gazing into the crystal ball is also on the menu with one of Gartner’s analysts leading a discussion on where Day and the content management industry are headed in 2010.

Don't miss:

  • Unveiling of CRX 2.0: the JCR 2.0 (JSR-283) content repository

  • Day's 2010 roadmap

Cherry on top: Day’s CTO David Nüscheler will give a sneak peek of the upcoming CQ5.3. Now, that should be interesting.

Day Gets a New Captain in the Board of Directors Cockpit

Day Appoints New Chairman for Its Board of Directors

It was back in April of this year, when Day Software (news, site) announced the nominations of Barry Bycoff and David Arnott to the Board of Directors. Both were elected in May at Day's Annual Shareholder meeting in Basel, Switzerland.

Today, board member Barry Bycoff was elected the Board’s Chairman, replacing Michael Moppert, the founder of Day.

Moppert assumed the Chairman role in May 2008, after he handed off his Day CEO reigns to a former Interwoven exec Erik Hansen. Moppert is said to remain an active member of Day's Board.

Bycoff took over the steering wheel on a good day, shortly after Day’s announcement of positive 1H 2009 financial results.

“I am pleased to be working with Day's CEO Erik Hansen and the remainder of the Board to help Day capitalize on this opportunity and build on its recent success," said Bycoff.

Hansen's initial plan to make Day more appealing seems to be working out so far. Upon accepting the CEO role, he wanted to focus on growing Day's strongest points: the content infrastructure business and the core content management product.

Since then, we've seen CRX new releases and updates, as well as new versions of Web CMS CQ5 and CQ5.2, hit the streets of the content management world.

Day Opens Up, Empowers Developers With New CRX Releases

Day Software, New CRX Releases, CRX One, CRX Developer

Day Software released three new editions of CRX, Day’s famed JSR-170-compliant Java Content Repository (JCR). These new goodies will make some developers and CIOs salivate -- especially those looking for leaner content infrastructure solutions based on Day’s commercial implementation of Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Sling.

In a nutshell, developers get free access to the CRX; and enterprises can get the CRX cheaply, on the pay-as-you-go model. Is that all? Not really. The impact on the entire Enterprise and Web Content Management industries may be a lot larger.
