San Francisco, CA - Onyx Software Corp. (Nasdaq: ONXS), a global provider of customer-centric e-business solutions, today announced it has been recognized by Microsoft as an active customer relationship management (CRM) ISV with the Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 development team. The announcement was made from Microsoft's .Net Enterprise 2000 launch, where Onyx also announced today its support of Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 and BizTalk Server 2000.
"We are delighted about the work done by Onyx to provide one of the industry's leading solutions for Commerce Server 2000. Onyx has demonstrated the business vision and technical innovation that is required to be a leader in supporting our next generation e-commerce platform," said Chris Atkinson, vice president, .NET Developer and Enterprise Group at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft will continue to work closely with Onyx as they continue to take advantage of the flexibility and extensibility of the .NET platform to deliver integrated, customer-centric solutions that help businesses succeed in today's rapidly-evolving e-commerce environment."
Microsoft has been working closely with Onyx Software throughout the Commerce Server 2000 beta process based on the work the company has done to integrate Microsoft's previous commerce platform - Site Server, Commerce Edition - with Onyx Customer Portal. Moreover, Onyx Software has delivered a strong customer base that has deployed its Onyx 2000 software suite with Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition and predicts that 60 percent of its customers will acquire Microsoft's latest e-commerce platform by the end of 2001.
Onyx Software will leverage the technology of Commerce Server 2000 for its powerful e-commerce, security and personalization capabilities for its Onyx Customer Portal, which is a personalizable, Web-based product line that gives businesses the power to directly market to, sell to and service customers and prospects quickly and easily across all channels - phone, fax, email and the Web - strengthening relationships and boosting profitability.
"Onyx continues its strong support for Microsoft's commerce platform with Commerce Server 2000," said Matt Cain, vice president of Web and collaboration services for Meta Group. "Onyx and Microsoft are responding to the market need for advanced personalization, e-commerce and security to businesses who want to interact effectively with their customers and partners on the Web."
