Our hearts are thumping and adrenalin levels are high as we tell you about the just-released Day's CQ5 WCM. To get as close as possible to a real-life experience, we went ahead and installed the software from scratch and played with it for a couple of days. It was a fun ride. Without further due, let’s jump in and see what Day came up with after three years of WCM silence.

Mere days before the long-anticipated CQ5 release, Day presents interim financial results for Q3 2008. The very Web 2.0-esque CQ5 is currently scheduled to be generally available on November 17. We will tell you more about CQ5 next week (downloading the software for evaluation as we speak). In the meantime, let’s count Day’s Swiss francs. The company reports increased revenue and presses ahead with market expansion, mainly in Northern Europe.

It's a Swiss treats day for a Swiss vendor. Enterprise CMS provider Day Software has received the Swiss Open Source Award 2008 in the business category. Recipe for success? Mix two tablespoons of Day with several pounds of a new chief marketing officer, who has arrived from Interwoven via the open source devout Alfresco. And, voila! The open source awards will follow. Day's recently-onboarded CMO Kevin Cochrane tells us all the glorious details about this award and (much) more -- including, why he left Interwoven and Alfresco.

A strong first half financially for 2008, several new appointments to the executive and now a nod from Gartner in their 2008 Enterprise Content Management Magic Quadrant Report. Is 2008 the year of the Day?

Day is on the move again, this time announcing the appointment of a new Chief Marketing Officer. Kevin Cochrane comes on board just in time to attend Day's Sixth Annual Global Customer Summit.
