| Businesses Can Now Forecast Incentives and Test Plan Changes Without Dependence on IT Makana® Solutions Inc., the leading provider of self-service sales compensation solutions, today announced the availability of the first test environment for incentive compensation that requires no IT set-up or configuration. Available immediately in Motivator Pro, the self-service solution for incentive compensation management, this capability makes it possible for small and medium-sized businesses to test mid-year incentive plan changes and to forecast future revenue and incentive expense accurately. "For the first time SMB's have access to incentive compensation management capabilities that previously have only been available in large, costly systems" said Liz Cobb, CEO and Founder of Makana Solutions. "The one-click access to the test feature removes the dependence on IT to deploy and configure the test environment. These delays often mitigate the ability to test new plans and respond to market dynamics in time." One-Click Incentive Comp Test Environment
With a click of a button in Makana Motivator Pro, users can take a "point in time" snapshot of their data to be restored when assumption testing or forecasting is completed. No IT set-up or configuration is required. This functionality makes it easy to:
• Make sure your crediting works as you intend before moving into production
• Accurately forecast the revenue and expense of future periods
• Test the impact of any mid-year changes to your plans, quotas, teams etc.
This new feature makes it easy for small and medium businesses to get the full benefits of an enterprise incentive management system without the costly implementations generally associated with them.
