Onyx Software Announces Departure of Sar Ramadan, Chief Financial Officer
Bellevue, Wash -- Onyx Software Corporation (Nasdaq NM: ONXS), a leading
provider of enterprise-wide, customer-centric e-business solutions, today
announced that Sar Ramadan, Chief Financial Officer, is leaving the company at
the end of this month. Ramadan has accepted the position of Chief Financial and
Operating Officer for askme.com based in Seattle, Washington.
"Sar's dedication, energy and contributions were highly appreciated," said Brent
Frei, Onyx Software President & CEO. Frei noted that Ramadan met the primary
goals he had committed to accomplish as he joined the company, citing his
critical role in the Company's initial public offering, four strategic
acquisitions, strengthening of international operations, and creating
shareholder value.
"Sar's commitment to take the company through the first quarter reporting period
is indicative of his professionalism, and his development of a strong financial
team and systems bode well for Onyx during this transitional period," Frei
added.
Amy Kelleran, corporate controller, will serve as interim CFO. A four-year
veteran of Onyx Software, Kelleran was heavily involved in the company's initial
public offering and subsequent mergers and acquisition activities. Her prior
experience was with Attachmate and Deloitte & Touche.

"Competitively and financially, Onyx Software has never been stronger than it is
today," said Ramadan. "It's been a tremendous experience to be part of the
company's growth. As I move on to face new challenges, I have great confidence
in the Onyx management team and the company's strategic direction."
