Callidus Software Inc (NASDAQ: CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), continued to demonstrate its leadership in the European telecommunications sector by announcing today that the E-Plus Group, the third largest telco in Germany, has selected the Callidus Sales Performance Management suite to drive the performance of its business. The subscription agreement was signed in the fourth quarter of 2010.
“E-Plus required a single incentive compensation solution which would scale to grow with the business,” said Thomas Schneider, Director IT-Development at the E-Plus Group. “We needed a flexible compensation system which was capable of handling complex commission processes and large volumes of transaction data. We expect Callidus to meet these criteria, providing both the flexibility and the scalability to centrally control selling performance across our growing sales channel base, without compromising accessibility and ease of use for our channel or partner users.”
The E-Plus Group has already started to deploy Callidus TrueComp Manager®, Reporting and Analytics, Business Process Management (BPM), and Dispute Resolution to manage its prepaid business.
“This is a significant win for Callidus -- E-Plus is the third largest telecommunications company in Germany, with 20 million customers,” commented Barry Carson, Vice President of European Sales at Callidus. “The European telco market is dynamic and competitive. Callidus’ ability to deliver the scalability and flexibility required to support agile, multi-channel incentive programs enables these businesses to capitalise on shifting market trends and product strategies. This new win helps demonstrate that sales performance is mission critical in the European telco market.”
Callidus’ award-winning solutions are now deployed in over 50 telecommunications organizations worldwide, including three of the top five telcos in the world.

About the E-Plus Group
The E-Plus Group is the challenger on the German mobile communications market. Simple services tailored to customer needs and a major reduction in call and data charges can be traced back to the initiative of the third-largest mobile network operator in Germany.

As a result of innovative business models, modern structures and strong partnerships, the E-Plus Group was able to significantly strengthen its market position and show a more dynamic and profitable development than the market. Since 2005 E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH und Co. KG has developed into a family of brands offering target group-specific services and thus breaks new ground in mobile communications in Germany.
