ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 13,
        1998, (the "Reorganization Agreement"), among Platinum, Zoo Acquisition
        Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Platinum
        ("Merger Sub") and DataWorks, and subject to the conditions set forth
        therein (including approval by stockholders of Platinum and DataWorks),
        Merger Sub will merge with and into DataWorks and DataWorks will become
        a wholly-owned subsidiary of Platinum (such events constituting the
        "Merger"). Once the Merger is consummated, Merger Sub will cease to
        exist as a corporation and all of the business, assets, liabilities and
        obligations of Merger Sub will be merged into DataWorks with DataWorks
        remaining as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). As
        a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of DataWorks Common
        Stock, other than shares owned by Merger Sub, Platinum or any
        wholly-owned subsidiary of Platinum, will be converted into the right to
        receive 0.794 of a share (the "Exchange Ratio") of Platinum Common
        Stock, and each outstanding option to purchase DataWorks Common Stock
        under DataWorks' stock option plans (each, a "DataWorks Common Stock
        Option") will be assumed by Platinum (each, an "Assumed Option") and
        certain outstanding warrants to purchase DataWorks Common Stock (each, a
        "DataWorks Warrant") will be assumed by Platinum (each, an "Assumed
        Warrant"). Each Assumed Option and each Assumed Warrant will become an
        option or warrant, as the case may be, to purchase that number of shares
        of Platinum Common Stock as is equal (subject to rounding) to the number
        of shares of DataWorks Common Stock that was subject to such option or
        warrant, as the case may be, immediately prior to the Merger, multiplied
        by the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price of each Assumed Option and
        each Assumed Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by
        dividing the exercise price per share of DataWorks Common Stock at which
        such DataWorks Common Stock Option and each DataWorks Warrant was
        exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the
        Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The Reorganization
        Agreement was amended on October 30, 1998 to allow Platinum and
        DataWorks to take certain actions which would cause the Merger to be
        accounted for as a purchase rather than a pooling of interests. A copy
        of this amendment (the "Amendment") is included as Exhibit 3 to this
        Schedule 13D. The foregoing summary of the Merger is qualified in its
        entirety by reference to the copy of the Reorganization Agreement
        included as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and the Amendment thereto
        filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D, each of which is incorporated
        herein in its entirety by reference.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        (a) - (g) The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of
the Reorganization Agreement and the Amendment thereto, copies of which are

Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference. This summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Reorganization
Agreement and the Amendment.

EFFECTIVE TIME

        Subject to the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement, Platinum,
DataWorks and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a
Certificate of Merger, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in
accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware law as soon as practicable
on or after the Closing Date. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall
take place at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional
Corporation at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no
later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, or at such other time,
date and location as the parties to the Reorganization Agreement agree in
writing.

MANNER AND BASIS OF CONVERTING SHARES

        At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of Merger Sub, DataWorks or the holders of any of the following
securities each share of DataWorks Common Stock (including, with respect to each
such share of DataWorks Common Stock and the associated Rights (as defined in
that certain Rights Agreement (the "DataWorks Rights Plan") dated as of on or
about October 13, 1998, between DataWorks and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services,
L.L.C., as Rights Agent)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, other than any shares of the DataWorks Common Stock held by
DataWorks or owned by Platinum, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary to be canceled, will be canceled and extinguished and
automatically converted into the right to receive 0.794 (the "EXCHANGE RATIO")
shares of Common Stock of Platinum upon surrender of the certificate
representing such share of the DataWorks Common Stock in the manner provided
below (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery
of an affidavit).

        If any shares of the DataWorks Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option,
risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock
purchase agreement or other agreement with DataWorks, then the shares of
Platinum Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of DataWorks Common
Stock will also be unvested to the same extent and/or be subject to the same
repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, as applicable, and the
certificates representing such shares of Platinum Common Stock may accordingly
be marked with appropriate legends.

        Each share of DataWorks Common Stock held by DataWorks or owned by
Merger Sub, Platinum or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
DataWorks or of Platinum immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

        At the Effective Time, all options to purchase DataWorks Common Stock
then outstanding under DataWorks' 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, 1995 Non-Employee
Directors' Stock Option Plan, the Interactive 1997 Nonstatutory Stock Option
Plan and the Interactive 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "DataWorks Stock Option
Plans") shall be assumed by Platinum. At the Effective Time, rights outstanding
under DataWorks' 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "DataWorks Purchase
Plan") shall be treated as described below. At the Effective Time, certain
warrants issued by DataWorks (the "Warrants") shall be, in connection with the
Merger, assumed by Platinum as described below.

- -------------------                                           ------------------

        At the Effective Time, each outstanding DataWorks Option, whether or not
exercisable and regardless of the respective exercise prices thereof, will be
assumed by Platinum. Each DataWorks Option so assumed by Platinum under the
Reorganization Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same
terms and conditions set forth in the applicable DataWorks Stock Option Plan
immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any
repurchase rights, vesting provisions and vested status of any such DataWorks
Option), except that (i) each DataWorks Option will be exercisable (or will
become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares
of Platinum Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of
DataWorks Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such DataWorks Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio,
rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Platinum Common Stock and
(ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Platinum Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such assumed DataWorks Option will be equal to the
quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of DataWorks Common
Stock at which such DataWorks Option was exercisable immediately prior to the
Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It
is intended that DataWorks Options assumed by Platinum shall qualify following
the Effective Time as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the
Code to the extent DataWorks Options qualified as incentive stock options
immediately prior to the Effective Time.

        Rights outstanding under the DataWorks Purchase Plan shall be treated in
a manner reasonably acceptable to Platinum and DataWorks.

        At the Effective Time, the Warrants will be assumed by Platinum. Each
Warrant so assumed by Platinum under the Reorganization Agreement will continue
to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the
applicable warrant agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time (including,
without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that
(i) each Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance
with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Platinum Common Stock equal
to the product of the number of shares of DataWorks Common Stock that were
issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of
shares of Platinum Stock and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of
Platinum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Warrant will be
equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of
DataWorks Common Stock at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior
to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole
cent.

        The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect
of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend
or distribution of securities convertible into Platinum Common Stock or
DataWorks Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or
other like change with respect to Platinum Common Stock or DataWorks Common
Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

        As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Platinum shall cause
the Exchange Agent to mail to each DataWorks stockholder of record (as of the
Effective Time) a letter of transmittal with instructions to be used by such
stockholder in surrendering certificates which, prior to the Merger, represented
shares of DataWorks Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares.

CONDUCT FOLLOWING THE MERGER

        Once the Merger is consummated, Merger Sub will cease to exist as a
corporation, and all of the business, assets, liabilities and obligations of
Merger Sub will be merged into DataWorks with DataWorks remaining as the
Surviving Corporation.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Certificate of
Incorporation of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
will become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and
the Bylaws of Merger Sub will become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
The Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation will consist of the
directors who are serving as directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time. The officers of DataWorks immediately prior to the Effective
Time will remain as officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their
successors are duly elected or appointed or qualified.

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Platinum Board will take
all actions necessary to cause Stuart Clifton to be elected to the Platinum
Board immediately after the Effective Time.

CONDUCT OF PLATINUM'S AND DATAWORKS' BUSINESS PRIOR TO THE MERGER

        Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, until the earlier of the
termination of the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to its terms or the
Effective Time, DataWorks (and each of its subsidiaries) agrees, except (i) as
indicated in the DataWorks disclosure schedules or (ii) to the extent that
Platinum shall otherwise consent in writing (including the consent set forth in
the Amendment), to carry on its business in all material respects, in the usual,
regular and ordinary course, in substantially the same manner as heretofore
conducted and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, to pay its
debts and taxes when due subject to good faith disputes over such debts or
taxes, to pay or perform other material obligations when due, and use its
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with past practices and policies to
preserve intact its present business organization, keep available the services
of its present officers and employees and preserve its relationships with
customers, suppliers, distributors, licensors, licensees, and others with which
it has business dealing. In addition, DataWorks will promptly notify the other
of any material event involving its business or operations. In addition, except
as permitted by the terms of the Reorganization Agreement or as provided in the
DataWorks disclosure schedules, without the prior written consent of Platinum,
DataWorks shall not do any of the following, and shall not permit its
subsidiaries to do any of the following:

        (a) Waive any stock repurchase rights, accelerate, amend or change the
period of exercisability of options or restricted stock, or reprice options
granted under any employee, consultant, director or other stock plans or
authorize cash payments in exchange for any options granted under any of such
plans;

        (b) Grant any severance or termination pay to any officer or employee
except pursuant to agreements outstanding, or policies existing, on the date
hereof and as disclosed in the DataWorks schedules, or adopt any new severance
plan;

        (c) Transfer or license to any person or entity or otherwise extend,
amend or modify in any material respect any rights to the Platinum Intellectual

NO SOLICITATION

        Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, until the earlier of
the Effective Time or termination of the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to
its terms, DataWorks and its subsidiaries will not, nor will they authorize or
permit any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates or employees or
any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by
any of them to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or
induce the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal (as
defined below), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding,
or furnish to any person any non-public information with respect to, or take any
other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that
constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal,
(iii) engage in discussions with any person with respect to any Acquisition
Proposal, except as to the existence of the provisions regarding
non-solicitation contained in the Reorganization Agreement, (iv) subject to the
following paragraph, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or
(v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract
agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition
Transaction (as defined below); provided, however, that prior to the approval of
the Reorganization Agreement by the required DataWorks stockholder vote, the
non-solicitation provisions contained in the Reorganization Agreement shall not
prohibit DataWorks from furnishing nonpublic information regarding DataWorks and
its subsidiaries to, entering into a confidentiality agreement with or entering
into discussions with, any person or group in response to a Superior Offer (as
hereinafter defined) submitted by such person or group (and not withdrawn) if
(1) neither DataWorks nor any representative of DataWorks and its subsidiaries
shall have violated any of the restrictions regarding non-solicitation set forth
in the Reorganization Agreement, (2) the DataWorks Board concludes in good
faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is
required in order for the DataWorks Board to comply with its fiduciary
obligations to the DataWorks' stockholders under applicable law, (3) prior to
furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with,
such person or group, DataWorks gives Platinum written notice of the identity of
such person or group and of DataWorks' intention to furnish nonpublic
information to, or enter into discussions with, such person or group and
DataWorks receives from such person or group an executed confidentiality
agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all
nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such person or group by or
on behalf of DataWorks, and (4) contemporaneously with furnishing any such
nonpublic information to such person or group, DataWorks furnishes such
nonpublic information to Platinum (to the extent such nonpublic information has
not been previously furnished by Platinum to DataWorks). DataWorks and its
subsidiaries will immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions
or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any
violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding two sentences by any
officer, director or employee of DataWorks or any of its subsidiaries or any
investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of DataWorks or
any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of the non-solicitation
provisions contained in the Reorganization Agreement by DataWorks. In addition
to the foregoing, DataWorks shall provide Platinum with at least 24 hours prior
notice (or such lesser prior notice as provided to the members of the DataWorks
Board but in no event less than eight hours) of any meeting of the DataWorks
Board at which the DataWorks Board is reasonably expected to consider a Superior
Offer, together with such notice a copy of the definitive documentation relating
to such Superior Offer.

        Notwithstanding the terms discussed in this section, nothing in the
Reorganization Agreement prevents the DataWorks Board from withholding,
withdrawing, amending or modifying its unanimous recommendation in favor of the
Merger if (i) a Superior Offer is made to DataWorks and is not withdrawn, (ii)
neither DataWorks nor any of its representatives shall have violated any of the
restrictions regarding confidentiality contained in the Reorganization
Agreement, and (iii) the DataWorks Board or any committee thereof concludes in
good faith, after consultation with its outside

counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer, the withholding, withdrawal,
amendment or modification of such recommendation is required in order for the
DataWorks Board to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the DataWorks'
stockholders under applicable law. Subject to applicable laws, no provision of
the Reorganization Agreement summarized in this paragraph shall limit DataWorks'
obligation to hold and convene the DataWorks Stockholders' Meeting (regardless
of whether the unanimous recommendation of the DataWorks Board shall have been
withdrawn, amended or modified).

        In addition to the obligations of DataWorks described in this section,
DataWorks as promptly as practicable shall advise Platinum orally and in writing
of any request for non-public information which DataWorks reasonably believes
would lead to an Acquisition Proposal or of any Acquisition Proposal, or any
inquiry with respect to or which DataWorks reasonably should believe would lead
to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request,
Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making
any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. DataWorks will keep Platinum
informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material
amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such request, Acquisition
Proposal or inquiry.

        "Acquisition Proposal" means any offer or proposal (other than an offer
or proposal by Platinum) relating to any Acquisition Transaction. "Acquisition
Transaction" means any transaction or series of related transactions other than
the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement involving: (A) any
acquisition or purchase from DataWorks by any person or "group" (as defined
under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder) of more than a 5% interest in the total outstanding voting
securities of DataWorks or any of its subsidiaries or any tender offer or
exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or "group" (as
defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder) beneficially owning 5% or more of the total outstanding voting
securities of DataWorks or any of its subsidiaries or any merger, consolidation,
business combination or similar transaction involving DataWorks pursuant to
which the stockholders of DataWorks immediately preceding such transaction hold
less than 95% of the equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of
such transaction; (B) any sale, lease (other than in the ordinary course of
business), exchange, transfer, license (other than in the ordinary course of
business), acquisition or disposition of more than 10% of the assets of
DataWorks; or (C) any liquidation or dissolution of DataWorks. "Superior Offer"
means an unsolicited, bona fide written offer made by a third party to
consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a merger, consolidation,
business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar
transaction involving DataWorks pursuant to which the stockholders of DataWorks
immediately preceding such transaction hold less than 50% of the equity interest
in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; (ii) a sale or other
disposition by DataWorks of assets (excluding inventory and used equipment sold
in the ordinary course of business) representing in excess of 50% of the fair
market value of DataWorks business immediately prior to such sale, or (iii) the
acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a tender offer or an
exchange offer or issuance by DataWorks), directly or indirectly, of beneficial
ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing in
excess of 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital
stock of DataWorks in each case, on terms that the DataWorks Board of Directors
determines, in its reasonable judgment, after consultation with its financial
advisor, to be more favorable to the DataWorks' stockholders than the terms of
the Merger; provided, however, that any such offer shall not be deemed to be a
"Superior Offer" if any financing required to consummate the transaction
contemplated by such offer is not committed and is not likely in the judgment of
the DataWorks' Board to be obtained by such third party on a timely basis.

BREAK UP FEES

        Platinum and DataWorks have agreed that if the Reorganization Agreement
is terminated by either Platinum or DataWorks, as applicable, due to (i) the
failure of the Merger to be consummated by February 28, 1999 for any reason;
provided, however, the right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement as a
result of such failure is not available to any party to the Reorganization
agreement whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause or resulted
in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or
failure constitutes a material breach of the Reorganization Agreement; (ii) the
failure of DataWorks to obtain the required approval of the stockholders of
DataWorks contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement by reason of the failure
to obtain the required vote at a meeting of the DataWorks stockholders duly
convened therefore or at any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the
right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement as a result of such failure
shall not be available to DataWorks where the failure to obtain the DataWorks
stockholder approval shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of
DataWorks and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach by
DataWorks of the Reorganization Agreement or (iii) a DataWorks Triggering Event
(as defined below), then DataWorks shall promptly, but in no event later than
two days after the date of such termination, pay Platinum a fee equal to $3.25
million in immediately available funds; provided, that in the case of
termination as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated by
February 28, 1999, such payment shall be made only if following October 13, 1998
and prior to the termination of the Reorganization Agreement, a third party has
publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal for an Acquisition Transaction and
within 12 months following the termination of the Reorganization Agreement
Platinum enters into or announces an intention to enter into a Company
Acquisition (as defined below).

        Platinum and DataWorks have further agreed that if the Reorganization
Agreement is terminated by either Platinum or DataWorks, as applicable, due to
(i) the failure of Platinum to obtain the required approval of the stockholders
of Platinum contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement by reason of the
failure to obtain the required vote at a meeting of the Platinum stockholders
duly convened therefore or at any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that
the right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement as a result of such failure
shall not be available to Platinum where the failure to obtain the Platinum
stockholder approval shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of
Platinum and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach by
Platinum of the Reorganization Agreement or (ii) a Platinum Triggering Event,
then Platinum shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) days after the
date of such termination, pay to DataWorks a fee equal to $3.25 million in
immediately available funds.

        Platinum and DataWorks have agreed that the fees described above shall
not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of the Reorganization
Agreement.

          Except as set forth above, Platinum and DataWorks have agreed that all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such
expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that
Platinum and DataWorks shall share equally all fees and expenses, other than
attorneys' and accountants fees and expenses, incurred in relation to the
printing and filing (with the SEC) of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

dissolution or similar transaction involving DataWorks pursuant to which the
stockholders of DataWorks immediately preceding such transaction hold less than
50% of the aggregate equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of
such transaction or (ii) a sale or other disposition by DataWorks of assets
(excluding inventory and used equipment sold in the ordinary course of business)

approvals of the stockholders of Platinum or DataWorks: (i) by mutual written
consent duly authorized by the Platinum and DataWorks Boards; (ii) by either
DataWorks or Platinum if the Merger shall not have been consummated by February

available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause
of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and
such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of the
Reorganization Agreement; (iii) by either DataWorks or Parent if a Governmental
Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action,
in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise
prohibiting the Merger, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and
nonappealable; (iv) by DataWorks or Platinum if the required approval of the
stockholders of Platinum contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement shall not
have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a
meeting of Platinum stockholders duly convened therefor or at any adjournment
thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate the Reorganization
Agreement pursuant to this right of termination shall not be available to
Platinum where the failure to obtain Platinum stockholder approval shall have
been caused by the action or failure to act of Platinum and such action or
failure to act constitutes a material breach by Platinum of the Reorganization
Agreement; (v) by DataWorks or Platinum if the required approval of the
stockholders of DataWorks contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement shall not
have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a
meeting of DataWorks stockholders duly convened therefore or at any adjournment
thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate the Reorganization
Agreement pursuant to this right of termination shall not be available to
DataWorks where the failure to obtain the DataWorks stockholder approval shall
have been caused by the action or failure to act of DataWorks and such action or
failure to act constitutes a material breach by DataWorks of the Reorganization
Agreement; (vi) by Platinum (at any time prior to the adoption and approval of
the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger by the required vote of the
stockholders of DataWorks) if a DataWorks Triggering Event shall have occurred;
(vii) by DataWorks (at any time prior to the adoption and approval of the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger by the required vote of the stockholders
of Platinum) if a Platinum Triggering Event shall have occurred; (viii) by
DataWorks, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
on the part of Platinum set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, or if any
representation or warranty of Platinum shall have become untrue (provided that
if such inaccuracy in Platinum's representations and warranties or breach by
Platinum is curable by Platinum through the exercise of commercially reasonable
efforts, then DataWorks may not terminate the Reorganization Agreement provided
Platinum continues to exercise such commercially reasonably efforts to cure such
breach); (ix) by Platinum, upon a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement on the part of DataWorks set forth in the Reorganization
Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of DataWorks shall have become
untrue (provided that if such inaccuracy in DataWorks' representations and
warranties or breach by DataWorks is curable by DataWorks through the exercise
of commercially reasonable efforts, then Platinum may not terminate the
Reorganization Agreement provided DataWorks continues to exercise such
commercially reasonably efforts to cure such breach).

        Indemnification

        From and after the Effective Time, Platinum will cause the Surviving
Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of DataWorks
pursuant to any indemnification agreements between DataWorks and its directors
and officers as of the Effective Time (the "Indemnified Parties") and any

indemnification provisions under DataWorks Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. The Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to
exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the
Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws of DataWorks as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not
be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the
Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder
of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors,
officers, employees or agents of DataWorks, unless such modification is required
by law.

        For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Platinum will cause
the Surviving Corporation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
in effect, if available, directors' and officers' liability insurance covering
those persons who are currently covered by DataWorks' directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy on terms comparable to those applicable to the
current directors and officers of DataWorks; provided, however, that in no event
will Platinum or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in excess of
150% of the annual premium currently paid by DataWorks for such coverage (or
such coverage as is available for such 150% of such annual premium).

transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume and other
requirements of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as
evidenced by a broker's letter and a representation letter executed by the
DataWorks Affiliate (reasonably satisfactory in form and content to Platinum),
each stating that such requirements have been met; (ii) legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Platinum shall have advised Platinum in a written opinion letter
(reasonably satisfactory in form and content to Platinum), upon which Platinum
may rely, that such sale, transfer or other disposition will be exempt from

disposition is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act; or (iv) an authorized representative of the SEC shall
rendered written advice to such DataWorks Affiliate to the effect that the SEC
would take no action, or that the staff of the SEC would not recommend that the
SEC take action, with respect to such proposed sale, transfer or other
disposition, and a copy of such written advice and all other related
communications with the SEC shall have been delivered to Platinum.

                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 
This AMENDMENT No. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION is made and entered
into as of October 30, 1998, among Platinum Software Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("PARENT"), Zoo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("MERGER SUB"), and DataWorks Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY").
 
                                    RECITALS
 
A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are parties to that certain Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 13, 1998 (the "ORIGINAL AGREEMENT")
pursuant to which it is contemplated that Merger Sub will be merged with and
into the Company (the "MERGER").
 
B. The Original Agreement contemplates that the Merger shall be accounted for as
a pooling of interests.
 
C. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company expect to take certain actions that would
preclude the ability of Parent to account for the Merger as a pooling of
interests and wish therefore to amend the Original Agreement in contemplation
that the Merger will be accounted for under the rules of purchase accounting.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legal bound the parties
agree as follows.
 
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Original Agreement.
 
2. Pooling Representations, Covenants and Conditions. Sections 2.18, 3.16,
4.1(p), 4.2(k), 6.2(e) and 6.3(e) of the Original Agreement are hereby deleted
in their entirety. In addition, each cross-reference in the Original Agreement
to any of the foregoing sections is hereby deleted.
 
3. Treatment of Stock Purchase Plan. Section 5.9(c) of the Original Agreement is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
     "Rights outstanding under the Company Purchase Plan shall be treated in a
manner reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company."
 
4. Parent Option Repricing. The Company hereby consents to either:
 
     (a) the issuance by Parent to holders of Parent Options, upon cancellation
of such Parent Options, new Parent Options with terms and conditions
substantially identical to the terms and conditions set forth in the canceled
Parent Options, except that such new Parent Options shall have an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of Parent Common Stock at the time of such
issuance (as determined in good faith by Parent with the Company's consent, not
to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Parent Options shall, subject to
reasonable exceptions relating to a change in control of Parent or termination
of the optionee, not be exercisable for twelve months following their issuance,
or
 
                                      A-2-1
<PAGE>   2
 
     (b) the amendment by Parent of Parent Options to provide only that, as
amended, such Parent Options shall have an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of Parent Common Stock at the time of such amendment (as determined
in good faith by Parent with the Company's consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld) and that, as amended, such Parent Options shall, subject to reasonable
exceptions relating to a change in control of Parent or termination of the
optionee, not be exercisable for twelve months following their amendment.
 
5. Company Option Repricing. Parent and Merger Sub hereby consent to the Company
taking one of the following actions on one occasion contemporaneous with any
issuance by Parent of new Parent Options or amendment of Parent Options pursuant
to the preceding Section 4:
 
     (a) the issuance by the Company to holders of Company Options, upon
cancellation of such Company Options, new Company Options with terms and
conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions set forth in the
canceled Company Options, except that such new Company Options shall have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of Parent Common Stock at the time
of such issuance multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and such new Company Options
shall, subject to reasonable exceptions relating to a change in control of the
Company (other than the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement) or
termination of the optionee, not be exercisable for twelve months following
their issuance, or
 
     (b) the amendment by the Company of Company Options to provide only that,
as amended, such Company Options shall have an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of Parent Common Stock at the time of such amendment multiplied by
the Exchange Ratio and that, as amended, such Company Options shall, subject to
reasonable exceptions relating to a change in control of the Company (other than
the transactions contemplated by the Original Agreement) or termination of the
optionee, not be exercisable for twelve months following their amendment.
 
6. No Further Modifications. Except as amended hereby, the Original Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. After the execution and delivery of this
Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, all references to the
Original Agreement shall mean the Original Agreement as amended hereby. No
deletion of a section of the Original Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof
shall have the effect of renumbering any remaining section of the Original
Agreement.
 
7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all
of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties
and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need
not sign the same counterpart.
 
8. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, the Original Agreement and the documents and
