XACTLY CORPORATION WINS BEAGLE RESEARCH’S 2009 “CRM WIZKIDS” AWARD

Company recognized for transforming Sales Performance Management
into strategic on-demand process

SAN JOSE, Calif.—May 20, 2009—Xactly Corporation, the leader in on-demand sales performance management, today announced it has received a coveted 2009 CRM WizKids Award from Beagle Research Group, LLC. The CRM WizKids Award is bestowed annually upon a select group of emerging software companies that demonstrate new and innovative solutions to business problems in the front office. This year’s WizKids Award recipients are EchoSign, Manticore, Right90, TimeTrade Systems, Unisfair, Xactly Corporation and Zuora.

“It’s ironic that companies use accounting systems for so many business processes, but when it comes to paying sales people, spreadsheets are still so common,” said Denis Pombriant, managing principal at Beagle Research Group. “The availability of on-demand computing has finally made sophisticated business applications like Xactly Incent affordable to a huge market.”

Added Pombriant, “Xactly’s early attention to this market, robust solution set and rapid growth make them a good fit for the 2009 WizKids Award. With each new product addition, the company further increases the distance between ad-hoc, spreadsheet-bound processes, and the accuracy and precision companies require in today’s market.”

In addition to the award, Beagle Research produces a report which examines how companies can enhance their customer-facing processes and make their companies easier to do business with. It also details the significance of each winning company’s solution with a case study highlighting one customer’s experience. The successful implementation of Xactly Incent at Ingres Corporation is featured in the full report, which is available at www.beagleresearch.com.

“We’re honored to be singled out by one of the predominant analyst organizations in the CRM industry, and for being recognized as a leader based on the success of our customers,” said Christopher Cabrera, president and CEO, Xactly Corporation. “Xactly Incent is the market’s leading on-demand application for sales performance management.
