Merced Systems Partners with Arcadia Solutions to Streamline Management of Variable Pay
The strategic alliance will enable the companies to more effectively and efficiently address joint customers’ incentive compensation and other business needs
Redwood Shores, CA, March 17, 2009 — Merced Systems, the leading provider of Sales and Service Performance Management software, today announced a strategic partnership with Arcadia Solutions, an independent consulting firm focused on implementing business technologies. Together, the companies will help sales and service organizations streamline their business processes, and attain a quicker ROI with Merced Systems’ Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) solution.
Merced Incentive Compensation Management helps sales and service organizations streamline and automate incentive compensation, and drive employee behavior change through variable pay. The companies’ partnership will allow joint customers to more efficiently and effectively design and implement the incentive compensation and sales performance management solution that best meets the company’s specific business needs and goals. By partnering, Merced Systems and Arcadia Solutions can capitalize on the wealth of information locked inside customer compensation data to better align employee behavior with business goals, and to proactively address problems before they occur.
“For companies manually calculating variable pay for thousands, if not tens of thousands of individuals, incentive compensation applications like Merced Incentive Compensation Management can dramatically increase accuracy, reduce administration, and improve visibility for individual payees,” said Mark Selcow, President of Merced Systems. “Our partnership with Arcadia Solutions will allow us to simplify and streamline the deployment of Merced Incentive Compensation Management, maximizing the value of our customers’ ICM solutions.”
“Arcadia’s history of success in the Sales Performance Management space has allowed our customers to out-perform their peers while keeping their overall total cost of ownership (TCO) at a manageable level,” says Seth Henry, President of Arcadia Solutions, LLC. “Our unique approach to the common challenges facing today’s companies provides quantifiable results that can be translated into business value. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Merced Systems and the success that will be achieved by our customers through this strategic alliance.”
