Varicent Chosen as One of Canada's Select 'Companies-to-Watch' in the 2009
Deloitte Technology Fast 50(TM) Awards
The Companies-to-Watch Award honors early-stage Canadian technology companies. These companies exemplify many of the winning characteristics of Deloitte Technology Fast 50(TM) ranked companies, which are judged using a longer track record.
"Companies-to-Watch award winners frequently go on to score high rankings in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 once they have a five-year track record," said
Varicent's CEO, Dan Shimmerman, credits creativity and innovation combined with listening to customers in approaching the market and providing the company early stage success. Shimmerman said "Traditional vendors in the Sales Performance Management space focused on just Incentive Compensation Management or Enterprise Incentive Management. Varicent viewed these approaches as process automation and were limiting in terms of potential for business impact. Leveraging our team's years of experience in Performance Management we applied it to the incentive compensation market."
The company provides an innovative Sales Performance Management (SPM) solution which encompasses Incentive Compensation Management, Territory Management, Quota Planning and Sales Analytics. While managing and automating the process of calculating and reporting variable-based pay, Varicent SPM aligns sales performance with strategic objectives. Business users gain control over complex compensation plans, the assignment of territories, the collection and approval of quotas and the reporting and analyzing of sales performance.
Shimmerman continued "The Varicent solution addresses the business users' needs and the problems they are trying to solve. Our application is business owned from the start and provides our global customers with the speed, flexibility and visibility needed to manage their sales efficiencies and performance".
The majority of Companies-to-Watch winners are potential global leaders in technology sectors that didn't even exist five years ago. To win the award, companies must display the kind of management expertise and superior technology that mark a successful, early-stage company poised for continued growth.
