Java Content Repository Enables F5(R) to Enhance Worldwide
Customer Support and Improve User Experience
BASEL, Switzerland & NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Day Software (SWX:DAYN) (OTCQX:DYIHY), a leading provider of
global content management and content infrastructure software, today
announced that its Communique Web Content Management Suite (CQ WCM)
was selected by F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in
application delivery networking, to power the latest version of
F5(R)'s Ask F5(SM) Portal.
A powerful online knowledge portal created to help customers and
partners find answers to their product and support questions quickly
and efficiently, Ask F5(SM) conveniently addresses questions about
F5's application delivery networking products and services. In search
of a solution that would help best facilitate productive information
sharing between F5's end users and partners, the company chose Day's
Communique for its content-centric approach and innovative
architecture.
"Day's Communique provides ECM, global brand management and
centralized control, making it an ideal technology choice to power the
Ask F5 Knowledge Base," said John Matthews, VP of Information
Technology at F5. "Our customers' end-user experience is a top
priority, and Communique empowers us to create, manage and deliver
more effective content in less time. We are very pleased with our
decision to implement this technology and believe in Day's vision as a
company and as a leader in the ECM sector."
"With its focus on application delivery, F5's comprehensive
solution helps enterprises ensure that their businesses are always
running, and we're pleased that we help the company provide customers
with an easy, convenient way to get the most out of their F5
products," said Michael Moppert, CEO and chairman of Day. "Our content
infrastructure software is designed with the end-user in mind, and
we're glad to be a part of the reason that customers worldwide trust
F5 to reliably deliver their applications. Day's products are the
perfect complement to an enterprise whose customers demand the highest
level of service."
Day's technologies allow companies to access their most valuable
assets - information about their specific businesses, processes,
products, customers and documents, which were previously 'locked' in
proprietary repositories. Working with industry leaders such as EMC,
IBM, SUN and Oracle, Day initiated and drove industry adoption of the
standard for content access, JSR 170. Under the leadership of Day's
CTO, David Nuescheler, JSR 283 (version 2.0 of the Content Repository
for Java Technology API), has successfully cleared Public Review. The
next version of the standard will help to further improve the
interoperability of content applications and content repositories.
