CIO Magazine Takes a Double Look at Compel

A look at three Software as a Service (SaaS) apps that mid-market CIOs often consider along with a summary case study with the Vice President of Sales at Trex

In the March issue of CIO Magazine, Laurianne McLaughlin, reviews the 3 SaaS solutions that midsize CIOs consider most often, including Salesforce.com, Centive Compel® and NetSuite. Says Laurianne, “Centive’s Compel, the most widely used choice for sales compensation management, handles the accounting, compliance and reporting aspects of this chore.”

In the same issue, John Edwards reviews the benefits of the newer software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for finance organizations. He provides examples of companies successfully leveraging that model in accounting, CRM and sales compensation management.

In the area of sales compensation, John shares an interview with Mitch Cox, vice president of sales at Trex, a decking and railing manufacturer, who recently deployed Compel, the leading on-demand sales compensation management solution from Centive. Says Cox, “Managers love it [Compel] because they’re able to focus their time where it’s needed most. They can understand right away who’s winning and who’s losing on a sales rep basis – and there’s no disputing the data.”
