Kevin Cochrane spices up Day Software

Kevin was one of the original Interwoven employees, and shepherded its TeamSite product through a long period of impressive growth. The onetime wünderkind has become a bit of a wanderkind since departing Interwoven, with stops at Alfresco (where he led a still-incomplete Web CMS offshoot from the core ECM platform) and then a start-up in the cloud computing space. My experience was that Kevin had a good eye for slick features and was a smooth and persuasive briefer of analysts, but also someone who wrote checks that his engineering teams couldn't always cash.

Day customers can expect a more exciting roadmap and savvier marketing than the rather techie-oriented company has mustered in the past. I wish Kevin well. But as Web CMS Report readers know, Day probably needs more discipline than vision right now.
