Synygy pioneered the introduction of the on-demand, software-as-a-service delivery model in the sales compensation and sales performance management marketplace. The leader in this space, Synygy’s offering has reached a record level of users, which has been spurred by growth in new sales performance management applications throughout 2007, including the release of Synygy Reports™ and Synygy Data™, and now, the new Synygy Portal.

Clients have found that, with the release of Synygy’s new integrated functionality this year, Synygy has solved the problems created by a hodgepodge of patched-together third-party software applications that are commonly used at many companies and which contribute to sales force inefficiencies and lower than desired productivity. By providing a single application for salespeople that integrates the management of quotas, objectives, compensation, performance, and reporting and analysis, sales force effectiveness improves.

Chetan J. Shah, Synygy’s chief technology officer points out that Synygy Portal is highly scalable and has been field tested with thousands of simultaneous users. Shah shared that Synygy Portal “offers clients tremendously flexible degrees of customization and flexibility and is easily integrated through single sign-on technology with other web applications.”

Synygy president and CEO Mark A. Stiffler notes that feedback from clients has been “tremendous.” For example, a non-disclosed global pharmaceutical company conducted a survey of its sales force several months after the rollout of the new Synygy Portal. The survey showed that 71% of the sales representatives and managers were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the web portal and 77% were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the information available through the web portal.

Stiffler goes on to say that “it is both Synygy’s expertise in the design of meaningful dashboards, reports, and analyses for salespeople and sales managers and our ability to deliver this information through our web portal hosted at our own data center that result in such exceptional levels of client satisfaction, which we have measured every quarter for many years.”

With the introduction of Synygy Portal, Synygy continues to be the only company to provide a complete solution that combines software, process automation services, software hosting services, and process management services to address all three root causes of sales compensation and sales performance management problems and eliminate the risks of software-only failures.

“Synygy remains, as we have for many years, the largest provider of sales compensation management solutions and the only profitable best-of-breed provider of on-premises, on-demand, and Synygy-managed solutions,” added Stiffler. “Our long-term success is driven by our intense focus on client satisfaction and an unmatched ability to deliver a range of sales performance management solutions that eliminate the risks of using third-party implementers, third-party software hosting companies, and patched-together third-party software applications.”
