Day News & Articles

Ever since Adobe (news, site) grabbed both Omniture (Sep 2009) and Day Software (Jul 2010), the stage has been set for the company's new role as an enterprise-grade Customer Experience Management (CEM) player.

We sat down with Adobe's CTO of Customer Experience Management, David Nuescheler, to discuss the merging of Omniture, Day Software and Adobe technology, how context choreography is at the core of experience management and how the assets from both Day and Omniture play into Adobe's CEM architecture. This article includes two videos from our interview session.

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.

Following up on our coverage of #dayignite, here’s a look into one of the sessions and the discussion around the Adobe + Day product combo, and Adobe's vision for Customer Experience Management (CEM).

In one Ignite Chicago panel, Day’s own scientists and experts gathered to address any possible question about Day, JCR, CQ5, CRX and open development coming from the audience starving for answers. Here’s the scoop.

Day Ignite kicked off today in Chicago. The theme of Day Software’s (news, site) Innovation Summit is "get mobile and get social." Equipping every attendee with an iPad helps to reach those goals. The theme was also reflected in Day CTO David Nuescheler’s presentation: What's New with CQ5: Sneak Peek into CQ 5.4.

As previously reported, Adobe (news, site) announced its intention to acquire Web CMS and Social Collaboration maker Day (news, site). The deal is now nearly final with more than 94% of the outstanding shares of Day Software Holding AG in Adobe's pocket.

A flurry of reactions, speculations and pontifications later, we're having a second look at the Adobe + Day deal (Part 1 is here) and it's impact on the industry.

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.

Following Adobe's enormous acquisition of Omniture, in a deal roughly one-eighth the size, the company has snatched-up Switzerland-based Day Software, a well known (to us) maker of Java-based content repositories and enterprise-focused Web Content Management software, via an all-cash bid of about US$ 240 million.

Translation management systems are constantly evolving. Overtime they have become intertwined with global content management and as a result, multilingual content management was born.

The way content is developed linguistically and managed is also changing. Recently we spoke with Matt Hauser, director of technology sales for Translations.com, a provider of language services and translation-related technologies, about the changing landscape of translation and global content management systems.

When Day Software (news, site) upgraded its content management platform to CQ5.3 it came with a number of useful enhancements, but no translation abilities. Day has just rectified that by teaming up with Translations.com to produce a quick-response solution to enable companies to launch localized products in numerous languages.

While covering the content management industry, we get to meet many interesting people. Today, we’ll focus on those that are young, wicked smart beyond their age and extraordinarily accomplished -- those that you want to keep an eye on.

With that, we present you the top 5 most talented C-level executives in the CMS world (who are 35 or younger).

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.

Building on the 65% license revenue growth in 2H 2009, Day Software (news, site) announced interim financial results for Q1 2010.
