New Synygy Sales Performance Management Software, Linked With

Synygy Enterprise Incentive Management Software, Puts Synygy On the

Next Wave for Sales Technology

Synygy Inc., the largest and most successful provider of Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM) software, moved into the visionary quadrant in a new Gartner Inc. research note, "Sales ICM Magic Quadrant--1H03," written by Joe Galvin and published February 10, 2003.

Gartner evaluated the "functional capabilities, production client base, financial viability, technical architecture and strategic vision for product enhancement" when placing vendors in the Sales Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) Magic Quadrant.

"We are pleased at our advancement as the only company in Gartner's visionary quadrant, which reflects our expanding performance management product line and the value our clients gain from our integrated incentive compensation and performance management solutions," said Mark A. Stiffler, president and CEO of Synygy. "Over 70 percent of companies use quotas to set goals for their sales forces, yet most of these companies use cumbersome and untrustworthy spreadsheet-based programs to set corporate and individual sales quotas. Synygy clients are leveraging the power of the Internet to make the process of setting corporate sales goals and individual quotas easier, fairer, and faster."

"The sales incentive compensation management market is positioned for rapid growth through 2005," wrote Galvin in the research note. Significant investments by enterprise application vendors have improved their functionality, while best-of-breed vendors re-architected their applications to address the performance and scalability demands of large users. Best-of-breed vendors are functionality superior and the application of choice for those enterprises seeking to address incentive compensation management challenges. However, profitability is elusive for best-of-breed vendors, increasing viability concerns for potential users."

Synygy just reported its eleventh consecutive year of profitable revenue growth, and it remains the only profitable company in the Enterprise Incentive Management market.

About the Magic Quadrant

According to Gartner, Visionaries have a clear vision of market direction and are focused on preparing for that, but they can still improve in terms of optimizing service delivery. The Magic Quadrant is copyrighted February, 2003 by Gartner Inc., Inc. and is reused with permission. Gartner Inc.'s permission to print or reference its Magic Quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartner Inc.'s opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against Gartner Inc.-defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is based on the complex interplay of many factors. Gartner Inc. does not advise enterprises to select only those firms in the Leaders segment. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a Magic Quadrant. Gartner, Inc. research is intended to be one of many information sources including other published information and direct analyst interaction.
