Xactly On-Demand Sales Compensation Solutions Provider Leverages Pervasive to Speed Customer Implementations and Open Up New Market Opportunities

Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (Nasdaq: PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management and integration software, and Xactly Corporation, the leader in automated on-demand sales compensation management, today announced that Xactly sales compensation management applications will leverage Pervasive embeddable integration to provide Xactly customers with a seamless solution for funneling all sales performance-related data into a single, comprehensive data repository.

Xactly Corporation’s incentive application enables companies to design and manage complex incentive plans and therefore sell more. The Xactly Incent(TM) platform gives companies the ability to easily and accurately model the outcomes of commissions based on projected sales volumes and product mix as well as design, implement, manage and audit incentive programs already in place. By leveraging Pervasive Business Integrator(TM) and adapters, Xactly has enhanced its data management offering to enable its customers to integrate Xactly Incent with back-end applications and disparate data sources quickly and at a low cost. This solution provides Xactly’s customers with the flexibility to select the appropriate approach to data management based on their specific business and IT requirements. The result is streamlined processes of incentive calculation, quick deployment and reduced operations cost.

Xactly chose to work with Pervasive to provide data management integration solutions for both small and large customers. In addition to meeting these technical challenges, Pervasive delivered a flexible licensing model compatible with Xactly’s own on-demand pricing model. Xactly is augmenting its staff with the Pervasive Fast Track(TM) program to achieve speedy, successful deployment incorporating best practices for integration.

“To process, analyze and manage incentive compensation, organizations must have access to high quality data from multiple applications like ERP, CRM, HRMS and data sources,” said Dr. Jimmy Duan, Xactly vice president of client services. “The resulting compensation data must then be loaded to payroll systems, internal data warehouses and made available for analysis and reporting. We were looking for an integration solution that would give us the ability to on-ramp new customers quickly and help overcome traditional on- premise implementation barriers as we move up-market. Pervasive’s integration architecture, adapters to many business applications and data sources, and flexible pricing model enable us to provide a flexible, rapid, low-cost solution for integrating Xactly Incent with leading enterprise applications and disparate data sources.”

“Innovative application providers increasingly seek to provide agile integration with their customers’ on-premises, SaaS and SOA-based applications — traditionally a very daunting technical challenge,” said Mike Hoskins, CTO of Pervasive Software. “Pervasive is proud of our growing track record of helping partners meet the mounting demands of complex integration scenarios with our embeddable integration platform. Through innovative technology for distributed and on-demand integration, Pervasive helps partners such as Xactly think outside traditional integration parameters and aggressively pursue new opportunities with the confidence that they can more quickly and easily satisfy customer needs.”

About Xactly Corporation

Xactly Corporation delivers automated on-demand sales compensation applications that enable companies to incent right and sell more.

These programs, delivered with no real-time visibility, often leave the sales force unmotivated, resulting in unpredictable results. Xactly Incent allows companies to easily and affordably design, implement, manage and audit optimized incentive programs. With these improved programs in place, Xactly Incent provides sales with unprecedented real-time visibility via the web, as well as comprehensive data management and analytics capabilities.
