Improves on ‘ease of use'

Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. (EISI), a pioneer since 1994 in sales force incentive compensation, and developer of Compensation Activity Tracking System (CATS®), continues its top value leadership position among EIM platforms with the latest upgrade of the company's flagship Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM) software CATS® 2008. Hundreds of new features and technology enhancements have been integrated to offer greater control and improve on administrative user productivity. The combination further distinguishes CATS® 2008 in the sales incentive compensation software market.

"CATS® 2008 makes it easy for our clients to manage all their incentive compensation activities from just one place, without special skills or IT assistance," said John A. Laurino, CEO of Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc.

With its redesigned Interface, a newly designed, fully integrated Analytics Module, and the new Management Studio for creating and scheduling all activities and tasks, CATS® 2008 offers key differentiating features. These features include superior scalability, best cost of ownership, and best administrative ease of use, significantly lowering reliance on IT involvement and mandatory vendor maintenance.

CATS® was first developed in 1994 and retains the "best in class" technology of any EIM application available in the market today. Features of the 8th major upgrade include:

• Advancements in the Administrator Module further improving on the proprietary CATS ‘click through' incentive compensation processing workflow,
• Enhancements to the fully-threaded history of all incentive compensation activities creating a complete audit trail that is 100 percent Sarbanes-Oxley compliant,
• Enhancements to the web-based CATS® portal which permits browser-only interaction between compensation administration and the sales organization,
• The CATS® Data Cube requiring no special training or IT support permitting all compensation related data to be instantly manipulated in real time on an unlimited basis with an infinite number of combinations without having to export it to another application like Excel,
• Additional ‘wizards' allow users to communicate electronically with Enterprise Incentive Software's engineers to support changes, updates, and create new incentive compensation plans in just a fraction of the time it would take with conventional applications.

Enterprise Incentive Software, Inc. offers the "best total cost of ownership" of any EIM solution on the market today in CATS® 2008, providing everything needed to design, administer, model, analyze, report and maintain incentive compensation programs, regardless of size or complexity. There are multiple pricing models in any of three editions. One offering is the installed application, with an industry-unique perpetual ‘unlimited' user license that contributes significant financial leverage to a decision to deploy the software. Another offering is accessed under the Web-enabled CATS®-On-Demand "hosted" Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS program. This hosted offering enables mid-to-large size organizations and enterprise business units to benefit from a world-class EIM solution on a subscription basis, available anywhere in the world to serve clients with low-cost, rapidly deployable EIM solutions.

Either option offers "ease of use" and the "best practices" of incentive compensation software design and administration with proven success across a worldwide cross-section of Fortune 1000 companies.

Since it is a multi-dimensional, flexible solution that allows for the segmenting of sales compensation data, CATS® easily manages incentive plans that require significant customization depending on line-of-business or geographic location. CATS® 2008 provides integrated support for multiple currencies It is a highly cost-effective option to global companies because it supports multiple pay cycles using only one instance of the software.
