BELLEVUE, Wash. - Onyx® Software Corporation (NASDAQ: ONXS), a worldwide leader in successful customer relationship management (CRM), today announced that Rob Tarkoff, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Documentum, a division of EMC, has joined the Onyx Board of Directors.

"We are delighted to welcome Rob to Onyx Software's Board," said former Wells Fargo executive and Onyx board member Terri Dial. "Rob's background in helping organizations capitalize on growth opportunities will be beneficial to Onyx, our board and our customers. We're pleased he recognizes the opportunity Onyx has to enhance shareholder value, and we look forward to his contributions."

At Documentum, Tarkoff is responsible for corporate strategy, business development, alliances, channels, and strategic investments. Tarkoff oversaw all five of Documentum's most recent acquisitions as well as the sale of Documentum to EMC. In addition, Tarkoff has driven key relationships with BEA, Accenture, Adobe, as well as Documentum's application logo program and the development of its indirect channels.

"I am extremely excited to help Onyx drive its business to the next level" said Tarkoff. "I believe the combination of Onyx Software's products, customer base, and leadership team will provide an extremely strong foundation for the future."

Prior to Documentum, Tarkoff served as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Commerce One, Inc., where he sealed key strategic alliances with companies such as General Motors, Covisint, SAP AG, SAP Markets, and Microsoft Corporation. Prior to Commerce One, Tarkoff was an associate at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the nation's leading technology law firm, serving as outside corporate counsel to Sun Microsystems, NEON Software, Baan Software, Infoseek Corporation, and as an advisor to investment banks such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs & Co.

Tarkoff has been a featured speaker at several enterprise content management forums and conferences, including most recently CIO Magazine's annual conference on data management in Australia, and the CIO Forum in Korea, which includes the top 125 CIO's for Korean corporations. In 2000, Tarkoff also sat on an advisory panel to the Federal Trade Commission on marketplace regulation in the b2b commerce market.
