"In replacing our currently manual, spreadsheet-based compensation management process with Xactly Incent, we gain a more accurate, economical and powerful means for incenting sales behaviors that support our strategic corporate objectives," said David Schneider, senior vice president, worldwide sales, Data Domain. "After a complete evaluation of both on-premise and on-demand compensation management applications, we chose Xactly Incent for what we believe is an all-around superior product offering -- including deep functionality, open application programming interfaces, and tight integration with salesforce.com's CRM application."

Xactly Incent is a 100-percent on-demand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that enables sales and finance executives to design, implement, manage, audit and optimize sales compensation management programs easily and affordably. Xactly provides a number of complementary solutions to Xactly Incent, which can be added in a modular approach to enhance a company's investment in its sales performance management strategy.

Along with Xactly Incent, Data Domain also selected the Xactly Modeling module, which will enable sales and finance management to perform simulations on plans, plan changes and special incentive programs to gauge their effectiveness; create sales organization change models to predict their impact on incentives and cash flow; and run sales forecast scenarios for an accurate picture of commission expenses.

"Most companies today follow a spreadsheet paradigm that results in either simplifying or unnecessarily complicating their incentive programs. As a result, these programs are delivered without the benefit of real-time Web-based visibility, often leaving a company's sales force unmotivated and resulting in unpredictable sales," said Evan Ellis, senior vice president of worldwide operations, Xactly. "Rapidly growing companies like Data Domain can quickly benefit from replacing Excel with a sales performance management application such as Xactly Incent, enabling their incentive programs to be drivers of growth and profits."
