PlaceComp is David in a Field of SPM Goliaths

RENO, Nev. - Nov. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- New software can bring a company to its knees. In the past, implementing new Sales Performance Management software meant tossing objectivity and client advocacy out the window. For years business owners were forced to work with large companies whose consultants were captive to the very software they were hired to implement. Today PlaceComp provides a new choice for SPM software implementation.

Enter Trey Hale with PlaceComp. “There are many differences in these (SPM) software products, and if you don’t have an advocate working for you, you run the risk of having a failed implementation.” That translates to big losses of time and money.

“Successful implementation requires the right design team focused on your specific company, willing to help you get the best product. With our neutrality and in-depth knowledge of the top SPM tools, we can be an invaluable advocate for our clients during the evaluation and selection process of an SPM solution.”

Emphasizing high quality at a competitive price, with people you choose, this client-centric approach has companies like Genentech, OfficeMax, Yellow Pages, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, WorldPay, ARAMARK, and BlueCoat Systems jumping on board.

And recent agreement with a Fortune 20 company is opening doors to the need in the international arena.

PlaceComp was founded to fill the gap left by the large SPM implementation companies. “When I worked with other companies in this industry, one of the frustrations I saw was in the selection process,” Hale explained. “We work with companies from strategy and plan design through implementation. PlaceComp lets the client pick the consultant, and we keep that person as a dedicated resource to fulfill the contract.”

The job of building a flexible workforce around the world of independent senior consultants with the right mix of attitude and SPM experience falls to the team led by Director of Operations Donnie Middleton. With almost 15 years of consulting and recruiting management in several industries, Middleton knows how to match consultants with projects. Placecomp implements Callidus Cloud (TrueComp), IBM ICM (Varicent) Oracle Incentive Compensation, Nice (Merced Systems), Xactly, and beqom (formerly Excentive) software solutions.

Bottom line, PlaceComp helps companies avoid the situation where the “seamless integration” hits a wall.
