Proposes to divest from services subsidiary in UK

Basle, Switzerland - 20 November 2008 - Day Software (SWX: DAYN,
OTCQX: DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management
software and content infrastructure software today announced that as
a part of a more focused strategy on its core software business - it
proposes to divest from a separate business unit - Marketingnet Ltd
which is a UK company.

"Marketingnet Ltd, a company focused on providing agency style
consulting services, was acquired back in 2000. The agency market has
undergone a major consolidation over the last couple of years with
resulting thin margins - which has made it very difficult for
Marketingnet to compete at a profitable level" said Erik Hansen and
continued "Apart from this Day as a software solution provider in the
ECM sector is today collaborating with most of the larger agencies,
with whom Marketingnet is actually competing. Therefore owning such a
company created a conflict of interest."

Day's core operations in the UK carried on through Day Software Ltd
is not impacted.
 "In order to fully benefit from the very positive market and analyst
reaction that our revised marketing strategy and our brand new CQ5
product is experiencing - including a growth in our customer base -
we must focus on our core competency as a leading software provider!
However the current reorganisation as well as the turbulent global
markets are likely to have an impact on Day's results in 2008, Erik
Hansen said and explained "Despite our very solid financial position,
we will place an even stronger focus on cost control and increased
productivity while executing our strategy of continued market
expansion".
