Day Software Incorporates Industry Standards Into WCM For External Sites

The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q3 2007

by Kyle McNabb, Stephen Powers

with Matthew Brown, Erica Driver, Shelby Semmes, Diana Levitt


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Day Software's Communiqué 4.1 provides Web content management (WCM) functionality for organizations that want an industry standards-based solution with solid life-cycle management capabilities, workflow administration, and multisite management support. However, Java-based Communiqué is missing some of the enhanced functionality of its chief competitors: Personalization is not full-featured, and multichannel delivery is limited. Developers will like Communiqué's heavy emphasis on industry standards; its JSR 170-compliant repository may save some migration pains. However, these developers may not like Communiqué's lack of integration with third-party template authoring tools — templates must be authored in Communiqué's native templating environment. Communiqué's average license price is also a bit higher than some of its competitors, compounded by the fact that the product does not feature significant differentiation from the competition.
