Leveraging Apex code, Xactly is delivering robust incentive compensation estimation capability deeply integrated within a Salesforce opportunity. The Xactly Commissions mash-up with Salesforce will help sales determine where to focus their selling energies and which opportunities will most immediately impact the business and their earnings. Xactly also announced its new Xactly Payroll Navigator™ feature, which provides customers with the ability to facilitate easy transfer of compensation data with any major third-party payroll vendor, including ADP, Ceridian, Intuit, Paychex and Ultimate Software, for accurate and efficient incentive payment processing. The Xactly Incent for AppExchange enhancements, including a new direct connector to Salesforce with single sign-on functionality and the Xactly Commissions mash-up with Salesforce, are being demonstrated at the Xactly Booth 318, at salesforce.com’s fifth annual Dreamforce User and Developer Conference and Expo in San Francisco, September 16–19. A Gold Sponsor of the conference, Xactly is also sponsoring a breakout session titled “Optimizing Sales Operations with Sales Performance Management” on Monday, September 17. “Xactly is continuing to make it more convenient and cost-effective for customers to benefit from the deep integration between Xactly Incent and Salesforce implementations,” said Karen Steele, Xactly vice president of marketing. “The integration of real-time sales compensation visibility within Salesforce improves sales productivity, helps reps maximize their return from Salesforce opportunities, and empowers management with valuable sales performance data to ensure consistent sales execution.” Continued Steele, “Similarly, Xactly Payroll Navigator is all about empowering customers with the freedom and flexibility to integrate their compensation management processes with the payroll vendors that best match their business and IT requirements. Xactly has consistently executed on a strategy of being open and agnostic to all major front- and back-end ERP, CRM and HR applications to facilitate integration and deployment with Xactly Incent. Today’s announcement is an extension of that same guiding principle of providing customers with choice.” Xactly Incent for AppExchange Enhancements “Thousands of customers are using the AppExchange to quickly add new on-demand applications that extend the value of Salesforce CRM,” said George Hu, chief marketing officer of salesforce.com. “Xactly’s seamless integration and mash-up make it easier for Salesforce users to derive the full value from the integration of CRM and sales compensation management. Salesforce CRM and Xactly Incent are both about enabling customer success, and together they deliver significant productivity and ease of use to our clients.” Xactly Payroll Navigator Xactly Payroll Navigator can be used to quickly create specific payroll templates for any payroll vendor, providing only the data required. Administrators select the specific columns of data to be extracted from Xactly Incent and their display order. The selected data fields can then be downloaded directly and in their entirety to the chosen payroll provider or to various departments within the company. The data fields can also be relabeled to match the target destination’s naming scheme, thus giving the receiving entity the data exactly the way it needs to see it—a particularly advantageous benefit in multi-national corporations and when managing a merger or acquisition situation. “The on-demand delivery model has made it easier and more cost-effective for organizations to perform critical business tasks, such as sales compensation management. But now businesses are asking leading SaaS companies to tighten the integration between their applications,” according to Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and founder of the SaaS Showplace. “The latest enhancements to the integration capabilities between Xactly Incent and Salesforce CRM should enable their mutual customers to gain even greater value from their on-demand applications.” Force.com Platform and the AppExchange The AppExchange economy continues to expand as thousands of salesforce.com customers have installed thousands of on-demand business applications available on the AppExchange, found at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange.
