REDUCE Storage Costs and Improve Performance with Symantec

Data continues to grow on file systems, and can quickly exhaust expensive storage space, consume file server resources and cost time and money to manage and maintain.

At the same time, the need to recover all types of data quickly creates additional management pressures.

Enterprise Vault from Symantec provides an automated solution for storing, managing and retrieving data from email systems, file servers, instant messaging platforms and content and collaboration systems.

AUTOMATE Sales Incentive Payments with Callidus

Managing incentive schemes presents challenges to every company, due to the complex nature of the calculations, the high levels of security required, and the dynamic nature of the sales environment.

Typically most organisations will pay between 5% and 15% of turnover on variable commissions, with overpayments of between 3%-5% often occurring. Equally, disputes arise if employees believe they are being underpaid or not paid on time.

Callidus Software enables organisations to reduce the overall cost of managing incentive payments by automating the entire process. Easy to use dashboards provide immediate up-to-date, customised views of a campaign that can be used by all relevant individuals within the organisation, to monitor effectiveness, results and payments.
