Solution

Implementing Varicent SPM, Tektronix has centralized reporting and analysis of its incentive compensation programs.

Varicent Incentives removes friction from the compensation process, accelerates the ability to make plan changes and adopt new strategies, and enables new insights to outdo previous performance.

Results

The company looked for a business partner that would understand its compensation management objectives and bring both commercial and technical expertise to the table. For the task, Tektronix selected Varicent, based on its wide range of capabilities and the advantages of choosing a cloud-based solution, which would free Tektronix from the expense and complexity of deploying servers at multiple offices. Varicent provides the essential functionality required by Tektronix. For example, using a web browser, a salesperson can log in to a personal portal to view compensation results, while sales managers can track individual and team performance. The solution automates compensation calculations, and provides transaction-level detail, offering an easy way for administrators to correct errors while maintaining the calculation integrity of the process.
