Swiss Life Selects Day for European-wide Internet Initiative

Thursday, 15. April 2004 07:00

Basel, Switzerland - April 15, 2004 - Day, a leading provider of
global content management software, today announced that Swiss Life,
a leading provider of life insurance and long-term savings and
protection, has chosen Day's software Communiqué for an European-wide
Internet initiative.

In the initial phase, new corporate websites, www.swisslife.com,
www.swisslife.ch and www.sl-am.com, were developed by Day partner
Pixelpark (Switzerland) together with Liquid Light Digital, Brighton,
and ACconcept, Zurich. The goal of Swiss Life's new overall online
presence is to combine international uniformity in brand presence
with a high level of flexibility and cost efficiency by creating a
uniform content management platform whereby the content is provided
centrally and can be selected and reused by all regional
subsidiaries.

Swiss Life chose Day's software, because the technology offers
openness, scalability, comprehensive out-of-the-box functionalities
and flexible connectivity options ensuring interoperability with
existing IT systems and scalability for future challenges. Another
important requirement during the selection process of the content
management vendor was ensuring that the corporate design is
stringently maintained. Day's solution includes unique brand
protection features and supports all language and character sets.

Richard Gledhill, Manager of the Online Center at Swiss Life: "Day's
software Communiqué can be implemented smoothly in the most varied
technical environments. Communiqué is very flexible, which creates
synergies enabling us to expand our Internet presence and Intranet
easily at any time. The Day system includes comprehensive
globalization functionalities, which support the roll-out of further
country sites in an outstanding way. And every employee can learn how
to use the Communiqué environment. All these factors ensure a very
high level of efficiency."
