Press Release Summary = Chester, PA, August 8, 2007 -Synygy Inc. today announced that it received a "Positive" rating in Gartnerīs "MarketScope for Sales Incentive Compensation Management Software, 2007." 1Synygy was one of 11 vendors evaluated in the report.
Press Release Body = Customer experience was given a high weighting in the report, with key consideration given to "the number and nature of successful live production deployments that produced measurable business benefits." Also assessed were "product and service capabilities, breadth of sales incentive compensation offerings, sophistication of feature sets, and whether specific functionality and services are offered natively or through partnerships."
"We are pleased to be included in this analysis of the sales incentive compensation management market," commented Synygy president and CEO, Mark A. Stiffler. "Over the past 16 years, we have expanded beyond our roots in providing sales analytics to the pharmaceutical industry to being the largest best-of-breed provider of sales compensation management solutions-with successful implementations in nearly every industry, including insurance, telecommunications, high tech, consumer and industrial manufacturing, and business services companies."
According to the report, the Sales ICM market is expected to grow at least 15% year-over-year based on such key factors as "large enterprises migrating from inflexible, manageable custom-built solutions or upgrading older prepackaged application installations" and "a compelling need to improve compensation support for complex selling models, team selling and partner channels, particularly plan creation and administration, as well as reporting for sharing commission details."
Several important trends are also noted, including:
* "More companies will start planning for deploying modeling tools and advanced analytics to improve understanding of underlying assumptions, progress and revenue impact of compensation strategies. * Interest will increase in sales performance management (SPM), which complements Sales ICM by integrating functions for planning, designing, allocating, and managing sales territories, quotas and compensation plans."
"Because of our size and the breadth and depth of our software and services, Synygy is unique in its ability to solve complex sales performance management problems," continued Mr. Stiffler. "Unlike our competitors, Synygy provides software, software hosting services, and process management services without using third-party products or services providers, which is what enables us to provide a 100% money back guarantee and explains our consistently high client satisfaction scores."
About Synygy Synygy, a recognized authority in sales performance management, is the largest provider of solutions for solving problems related to the management of sales compensation plans. These problems include:
