Onyx Software Delivers Powerful New Features in Version 6.0
Controlled Release Reaffirms Company’s Commitment to Continued Growth and Success
SEATTLE and INDIANAPOLIS, WA - September 29, 2006 - Following its acquisition by M2M Holdings Inc. less than two months ago, Onyx Software, a worldwide leader in customer relationship management (CRM) solutions for the enterprise, today announced the controlled release of Onyx Version 6.0 (v6.0).
“We communicated to our customers that we would issue v6.0 by the end of the third quarter, and we were pleased to be able to begin the process of integrating Onyx into M2M Holdings while also honoring our commitment to customers,” said Tom Millay, general manager of Onyx Software.
Jeff Tognoni, CEO of M2M Holdings, said that the successful release of v6.0 is a testament to the fact that Onyx continues to move forward as a separate business unit of M2M Holdings. Onyx continues to be served by dedicated sales, marketing, product management, development, customer support, and professional services teams. “These teams will continue to market, sell, enhance and support the Onyx solution as we focus on achieving sustainable and profitable growth,” said Tognoni.
Onyx v6.0 contains a variety of enhancements to core Onyx products, including Onyx Employee Portal (OEP), Onyx Process Manager, and Onyx Business Intelligence. In addition to underlying architectural enhancements, v6.0 offers new tools that will help users realize greater system flexibility, increased collaboration across the organization, and simpler system upgrades. Onyx v6.0 also contains personalization features that will help users easily adapt the product to meet unique user, departmental, environmental and market needs.
Over the coming months Onyx will continue to provide version 6.0 companion product releases. “Those product releases will enhance the functionality of v6.0, solidifying Onyx as the most flexible and well-architected enterprise CRM solution in the market,” said Tim Hines, vice president of product management for Onyx.
According to Hines, as the Onyx research and development team finalizes the completion of companion products to the v6.0 platform, the Onyx product management team will launch a refined product management process that seeks to gather and leverage increased customer input.
“With the M2M Holdings acquisition behind us and an aggressive CRM acquisition program of our own ahead, we will implement product management processes that will keep us connected with customer needs,” said Hines. “We want our customers to be more involved in the product and service decisions we’re making in order to further increase the high level of value they receive from our solutions. Their input is absolutely vital in deciding what to build and how to build it.”
