Varicent Rated in Leading Analyst Firm’s MarketScope Report for Insurance Incentive Compensation Management Applications


TORONTO, Tuesday, December 21st 2010 [ME NewsWire]:

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Varicent Software, an innovator and global leader in providing Incentive Compensation and Sales Performance Management solutions, today announced that it was rated in Gartner’s report entitled “MarketScope for Insurance Incentive Compensation Management Applications.” Varicent was among the 10 vendors evaluated in the report published on December 11, 2010.


According to Steven Leigh, Gartner Analyst and author of the MarketScope report writes that “Custom-built ICM systems, ICM functionality in policy administration systems and spreadsheets have proved inefficient, inflexible, expensive and inadequate to support the compensation-processing requirements of many insurers, and can pose liabilities to ensuring good governance over variable pay expenses.”


“Varicent’s customers including ING and Farmers Insurance are benefiting from the functionality our incentive compensation solutions bring to the insurance industry,” said Brian Hartlen, Vice-President, Marketing, Varicent. “We are pleased to be included in the MarketScope, and feel that Varicent’s inclusion affirms our success to date, and our ongoing commitment to providing insurance organizations solutions that meet their unique requirements.”
