| Source: Boomi
BERWYN, PA--(Marketwire - August 19, 2008) - Boomi, the market and technology leader for
on-demand integration, and Centive, the leader in on-demand solutions for
sales compensation and sales performance management, today announced the
companies have partnered to provide Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data
transformation and integration for Centive's Compel® solution. The Boomi On
Demand® service is replacing a prior partnership with a legacy on-premise
integration solution to provide Centive and their customers with
affordable, enterprise-grade integration services without the need for
conventional integration software, appliances or coding.
Centive Compel helps companies calculate sales commissions and bonuses for
their sales force while also providing executives, sales managers and sales
representatives with secure, real-time visibility into attainment, ranking
and commission earnings data. Compel features integration with
salesforce.com and other customer relationship management systems to enable
sales representatives and their managers to forecast commission earnings
based on opportunities in their pipeline.
In partnering with Boomi, Centive will be able to offer customers that have
complex data issues an affordable, on-demand solution for data
transformation. In addition, by leveraging Boomi's pre-existing connectors,
Centive's customers can choose direct integration at the application
programming interface (API) level between their source transaction systems
and Compel if desired.
"Partnering with Boomi makes sense for Centive and our customers,"
explained Bob Conlin, chief marketing officer for Centive. "We both have
award-winning, native SaaS technologies that are considered best in class,
and we both believe that SaaS offerings are the future of business
applications. Boomi proved they could meet our demands for performance and
ease of use, and Boomi On Demand easily handled our toughest, high-volume
data transformation projects. The SaaS industry is challenging traditional
thinking about technology, and Boomi is redefining how we should all think
about integration. It should be easy, affordable and fast."
Because Boomi On Demand is itself a SaaS platform, it provides Centive with
a powerful and secure cloud-based solution to centrally manage customer
integrations. With Boomi's "connect once -- integrate everywhere™"
solution, Centive customers enjoy immediate connectivity with hundreds of
other on-premise and SaaS applications out of the box. They also benefit
from the attractive combination of price, ease-of-use, rapid implementation
and functionality that Centive and Boomi offer.
"Most companies face a difficult choice when implementing a SaaS
application into an enterprise environment -- namely, having to choose
between conventional integration products and appliances or creating custom
code to tie the application into other data sources. Both options are
expensive, especially in relation to the economics of the SaaS industry.
Boomi offers a SaaS solution for SaaS integration," said Bob Moul, Boomi's
president and CEO. "It's affordable, powerful, scalable and easy to use --
the exact attributes SaaS-savvy ISVs and customers are looking for."
