San Francisco, CA - Onyx Software Corp. (Nasdaq: ONXS), a global provider of customer-centric e-business solutions, announced today at Microsoft's .Net Enterprise 2000 launch that they will utilize the next generation platform to continue providing companies with the scalability, performance, reliability, quality and ease of use that Onyx's suite of software products offer.
Based 100 percent on Microsoft technology, Onyx products will support SQL Server 2000, BizTalk Server 2000 and Commerce Server 2000 to quickly build, deploy and manage integrated, Web-based solutions for companies of all sizes.
"Microsoft has found that providers of leading e-business software have been taking advantage of .Net Enterprise Servers' scalability to deploy solutions that will offer the fastest time to market and will be the most flexible, manageable platform base for enabling e-business," said Marie Huwe, director .Net Developer Solutions at Microsoft Corp. "Onyx's products using Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Servers ensure that every business employing this technology will be well positioned to market, sell, service and support their customers and partners."
Microsoft .Net Enterprise Servers help Onyx bring e-business and business together. As the first true enterprise-wide Internet architected relationship management solution, Onyx is committed to provide its customers with robust Web technologies that enable them to unite customer data from traditional business processes such as field sales, direct marketing and call centers with Internet-based processes such as email campaigns and online customer service, making relevant data and processes available to employees, customers and partners.
"By taking the lead to make our applications .Net-ready, Onyx is ensuring its customers are getting a tightly integrated, Internet-ready e-business application that will result in superior capabilities with low total cost of ownership (TCO)," said Mary Reeder, vice president of research and development for Onyx Software. "Having delivered the first portal-based relationship management product line and taken an early lead in offering and delivering hosted CRM solutions, Onyx has continually provided its customers with early advantages of Internet technologies that give them a competitive edge."
"Onyx continues to lead the way in e-business technology delivery by being among the first to support Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Servers' architecture," said Christopher Fletcher, vice president and managing director at Aberdeen Group. "Businesses standardizing on the Microsoft .Net suite of platform products should seriously consider Onyx 2000 for their customer-centric e-business platform."
Illustrative of the marriage of Onyx and the .Net platform is ByeByeNow.com, a company blazing a bright trail in the travel industry with Onyx as its technological foundation.
"ByeByeNow.com is able to execute a promise that has never before been possible in the travel industry - the ability to have a comprehensive view of every single customer interaction and act on those interactions in real-time, 24 hours a day, through any mode of communication," said Pete Nicoletti, chief technology officer of ByeByeNow.com. "Onyx has enabled us to deliver the extensive, personalized experiences demanded by our travel partners and their customers. Onyx is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, delivering us a competitive advantage we could not find elsewhere."
