XACTLY SELECTED AS “ELITE 8” PARTNER FOR ORACLE® CRM ON DEMAND

Sales performance management leader joins prestigious new Inner Circle Partner Initiative for Oracle CRM On Demand

SAN JOSE, Calif.—September 17, 2008—Xactly Corporation, the leader in on-demand sales performance management and member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, today announced it was selected by Oracle as one of eight key partners forming an integrated ecosystem of complementary solutions offering extended value to Oracle® CRM On Demand customers. The select group of partners, dubbed the “Elite 8,” represents the highest tier within Oracle’s new Inner Circle Partner Initiative supporting the needs of Oracle CRM On Demand application customers.

“We assembled a select group of SaaS partners to promote solutions that best complement our customers’ CRM On Demand experience,” said Erica Ruliffson, group vice president, CRM On Demand, Oracle. “The Elite 8 members, including Xactly, have demonstrated significant value to Oracle customers, traction with Oracle’s sales organization, and synergy with Oracle CRM On Demand’s direction.”

The collaborative effort between Oracle and its Elite 8 partners helps ensure partner solutions are aligned with Oracle’s product and sales direction, and that they are ready to serve the needs of Oracle’s largest enterprise customers. Already actively engaged with Oracle’s North American sales organization, the Elite 8 partners are: ActivePrime (real-time data deduplication); Antenna Software (customizable mobile CRM); BigMachines (configure, price, propose); Cast Iron Systems (integration solutions); Eloqua (automated marketing and demand generation); Right90 (sales forecasting and revenue performance management); White Springs (top sales methodologies); and Xactly (sales performance management).

“Sales performance management—which leverages post-sales data to help drive future sales—is an extremely complementary function to customer relationship management, which deals with pre-sales data to make sure each sale happens,” said Steve DeMarco, vice president of business development, Xactly Corporation. “We are pleased to extend our current relationship with Oracle, which includes deep product integration for joint customers, and honored to be selected as its preferred partner for on-demand sales performance management.”

Xactly will demonstrate its solutions at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 in the Applications Lounge Elite 8 session on Tues. Sept 23, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and in the CRM On Demand DEMOgrounds (Moscone South Hall, Booth 1032) from Mon. Sept. 22 to Thurs. Sept. 25.
