Callidus Software Announces Callidus Plan Communicator

Callidus Software has announced Callidus Plan Communicator, a compensation plan workflow application, built and delivered on salesforce.com's Force.com platform. Serving as a strategic addition to its Callidus On-Demand solution set, the new application further enables organisations to harness the power of cloud computing to drive sales performance for their businesses.

Callidus Plan Communicator integrates with Callidus On-Demand. Additionally, it is available as a standalone application for non-Callidus customers and provides a rapid on-ramp to the value of Sales Performance Management for everyone.

Callidus Plan Communicator is based on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technology and built on salesforce.com's innovative Force.com platform. The application provides compensation plan workflow capabilities that enable sales organisations to distribute and approve compensation plan documents. It is the industry's first SPM application to offer enhanced visual and graphic capabilities that leverage salesforce.com's new visualforce user-interface-as-a-service technology. The feature enables business users to experience Sales Performance Management capabilities blended seamlessly with salesforce.com, lowering training costs and speeding adoption. Part of the Force.com platform, visualforce gives customers, partners and developers the ability to completely customise their Salesforce user interface for their specific needs and requirements.

The new solution allows companies to quickly, effectively and accurately communicate sales plans and contracts to their field organisations, track versions of changing sales plans and monitor and record digital acceptance. Sales operations and finance benefit from reduced effort managing and tracking signoff. Sales organisations benefit by receiving compensation plans faster and experience reduced effort reviewing and signing the plan.

Through the introduction of this pioneering product, Callidus Software underscores its commitment to revolutionising the SPM market and developing Web 2.0 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. Callidus Plan Communicator and other upcoming products will extend the reach of Callidus Software's sales performance offerings to all salesforce.com customers, with a focus on small and medium enterprises.

Callidus Software's products based on the Force.com platform empower companies of all sizes with a fast on-ramp to a far-reaching array of sales performance management solutions. This helps drive revenue while expediting ROI. Callidus Software's PaaS-based applications on Force.com further extend its compatibility with salesforce.com's applications, technology, and platform.
