 Product description: Communiqué is an integrated Content, Portal & Digital Asset Management framework that manages and unifies digital business information, applications, and processes through the web. Communiqué's content-centric approach and its innovative ContentBus Architecture transform entire global organizations into virtual enterprises, bringing together content from any system, regardless of location, language or platform.

The Communiqué framework offers a reusable component architecture that is able to solve multiple customer challenges with one integrated solution. By delivering integrated Application Services, Content Services and Connection Services, all from a single vendor, Day’s customers are able to more rapidly deploy enterprise applications on the web.

Application Services

Communiqué Application Services provide delivered, configurable capabilities that allow customers to rapidly deploy their mission-critical web applications. Business users are able to deliver key business functionality by configuring services rather than coding. Prebuilt application services include:
Content Management, Portal Management, Graphics & Digital Asset Management,
Collaboration, Personalization, B2B/Commerce/Catalog Management

Content Services

Communiqué Content Services provide a common, consistent way to interact with and present content. Content Services work closely with the ContentBus™ to create an abstraction layer that assembles virtual objects from existing repositories, allowing consistent configuration and control over all content and interactions. Delivered services include:
Search, Indexing, Observation, Virtual Versioning, Security/access control, Single Sign-on
Transformation, Content Structuring, Encryption

Connection Services

Communiqué Connection Services allow content to be accessed wherever it is, delivered to wherever it needs to go, anywhere in the world. This gives customers, partners and employees real-time access to a virtual enterprise.

Global Enterprise can easily extend and leverage enterprise applications like SAP R/3™, document storage systems like Lotus Notes™, technologies like LDAP, and standardized connectors supporting JCA.

Connection Services use standardized connectors and work with the ContentBus™ to leverage all of the Communiqué Content and Application Services. Communiqué Connection Services eliminate the need to replicate content, allowing access to the content where it lives.

  
 Vendor description: Day was founded in Basel, Switzerland, in 1993 to design web applications and manage content for global companies.

Today, Day is a leading international provider of global content management software and has long been recognized as the pioneer of the virtual repository for content management. The award-winning technology Communiqué enables customers to manage all their enterprise content through one consistent enterprise content platform, regardless of its location, language, format or system where it resides.
Since April 2000 Day Software Holding AG is listed on the SWX Swiss Exchange (SWX: DAYN). Day has dual headquarters in Basel, Switzerland and in Irvine, California, and has sales offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia and Germany.

Day’s product prowess is currently setting the standard in the industry as the company is the technical expert lead in the JSR 170 standardization process, which will regulate the interaction of applications with content repositories.
