accurately acquire and reflect all relevant sales data, apply it precisely to each payee’s pay-for-performance program, and automate the day-to-day activities associated with administering transaction-driven, variable incentive compensation. TrueComp provides a flexible, user-maintainable system that can be easily modified to align direct or indirect sales compensation with corporate goals and shareholder value. It also provides modeling functionality to enable the finance organization to accurately forecast compensation spend, or to perform plan modeling to understand the impact on spend of a change in compensation plan. This combined modeling functionality enables organizations to substantially reduce their exposure to unexpected compensation overspend.
 
TrueComp collects and integrates the different data feeds used to compile applicable sales data. The TrueComp Repository module serves as the database, and TrueComp Manager serves as the business user-facing application to set-up compensation plans, manage day-to-day operations, and make manual adjustments. The TrueComp Grid component provides high-performance processing of compensation data and results, and together with our parallel processing functionality, enables organizations to manage global compensation. The application’s modular, structured approach to defining compensation plans avoids the reliability, flexibility and maintenance issues associated with homegrown solutions. The Manager module guides users through the process of paying variable compensation via a graphical and intuitive rule editor, which is usable by compensation analysts without coding or scripting skills. The TrueComp application was initially shipped in the first quarter of 1999.

TrueResolution Software
 
Our TrueResolution software is a rules-based workflow application that streamlines and automates the resolution of incentive compensation disputes, thereby reducing the associated cost and diversion of management and sales resources. Scaleable for the largest sales channel organizations, the TrueResolution application eliminates manual, error-prone sales operation processes and allows dispute resolution to be initiated from the field where the majority of disputes originate. Our TrueResolution software automates functions such as changes, transfers and splits to territory assignments, quota adjustments, organizational changes and payee information updates. The TrueResolution application enables sales professionals and business partners to submit and track their claims through a completely web-based self-service workflow process, which automates the evaluation, routing, resolution and approval of day-to-day requests and consistently communicates payment and resolution status to sales people. The TrueResolution application keeps management informed of changes that may affect compensation, produces an audit trail for all requests and resolutions, reduces errors and the risk of fraud and promotes enforcement of enterprise policies. The TrueResolution application was initially shipped in the second quarter of 2002.
