PLEASANTON, CA–(Marketwired – Jul 30, 2014) –   Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), a leading provider of sales and marketing effectiveness software, announced today that AppDynamics, the leading provider of application performance management solutions, has selected CallidusCloud to help optimize and drive sales performance.

AppDynamics will be implementing CallidusCloud’s Commissions, Learning Management System, and SalesSelector solutions to help optimize the sales process.

“Our business is going through hyper-growth and scaling up our go-to-market teams is essential to our ongoing success. CallidusCloud’s solutions will accelerate this for us and ensure our sales teams are well-trained, knowledgeable, and appropriately incentivized,” said Jonathan Jung, Director of Sales Operations at AppDynamics. “Typically, an implementation like this would take four months. We are planning on completing the process in half that time.”

“We are excited to deliver the solutions AppDynamics needs to speed ahead of its competition and double their workforce,” said Eric Brown, senior vice president, sales of CallidusCloud. “By moving to an integrated, automated solution, AppDynamics’ sales teams will be able to onboard quickly with unlimited access to training from their mobile devices and they will be driven by attainable, performance-based incentives.”

CallidusCloud’s Litmos LMS provides an easy-to-use mobile solution for learning and training anytime, anywhere. Customers can build and manage professional-looking online courses, and users have access to real-time reporting to see when students have completed their training, how long they took, and what scores they achieved. The training system does not require any resources from the IT department and can be launched in just minutes.

CallidusCloud SalesSelector delivers a combination of online video interviewing, assessment testing, and team benchmarking designed to enable sales managers to rapidly evaluate candidates based on selling technique, sales temperament, and proven performance. This combination enables sales managers to gain a 360-degree view of candidates while accelerating the sales hiring process, so managers can interview more sales candidates, while reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

CallidusCloud Commissions enables companies to deploy targeted incentives and commission programs to drive sales execution. It provides businesses with the ability to automate the calculation and payment of commissions across internal and external sales. Sales operations and finance enjoy significant time and cost savings while sales teams enjoy faster, more accurate and more transparent commission payments.
