"We are very excited about the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of our sales lifecycle management solutions specific to the insurance industry," said Lorna Heynike, senior vice president of marketing at Callidus Software. "The insurance marketplace is the proving ground for sales performance management. Agent lifecycle management and commissions processing are the most business critical elements in this market. To date, Callidus has helped over 70 insurance enterprises harness the power of incentives to drive performance through the producer lifecycle. Our solutions help insurers maximize cost efficiencies through increased flexibility and control of incentives and payments to producers, and optimize producer capacity to profitably drive revenue growth."

Attendees of the event will discover how Callidus' Producer Lifecycle Management suite supports a comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing producer performance. At its core, the suite drives channel performance through incentives, calculating complex commissions for high volumes of data across products, channels, and geographies. This helps insurers accurately pay agents on time, while reducing leakage, overpayments, and fraud. Because Callidus also manages the on-boarding and master data of producers, businesses can evaluate the effectiveness of their distribution channels against target, and easily adapt capacity, coverage, and incentive programs to meet changing business conditions.

This gives customers the ability to align their sales force and channels with their business objectives to consistently and reliably execute on sales targets.
