BASEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2005--Day Software (SWX:DAYN) (OTC:DYIHY) today announced the successful completion of the company's 2005 Global Customer Summit held in Lucerne, Switzerland. Customers and partners from around the globe attended the summit sharing best practices and offering insight into the revolution afoot in the global content management market brought about by new standards set forth in the industry.
Day, a longtime industry leader in the JCR (JSR 170) standardization movement, offered customers and partners a chance to hear about trends and learn about strategies to maximize their technology investments and build a content infrastructure that will be future proof.
