More than 40 Joint Customers Capture the Speed and Economics of Pervasive's Hosted and On-Premise Integration

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2008--Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data management and data integration software, today announced the company's alliance with Xactly Corporation, the leader in automated on-demand sales compensation management, has delivered more than 40 successful customer implementations with robust data integration. With an ever-increasing number of Xactly Incent customers requiring data integration and data management, Xactly has leveraged the power and flexibility of Pervasive Data Integrator(TM) as part of its broader data-management solution to deliver a robust, seamless solution for integrating larger and mid-market ERP, CRM and HR applications as well as a multitude of disparate data sources.

Xactly leverages Pervasive Data Integrator to deliver its Xactly Data Management module, which provides customers with a consistent customer experience, broad connectivity for highly variable customer environments, and affordability. Integration is now an important differentiator rather than an obstacle in the sales process.

The partnership with Pervasive helps Xactly deploy market-leading, proven integration to its customers without needing to involve their IT organizations. End users can choose from flexible integration options while reducing costs and increasing efficiency with no added on-site labor. In addition to a highly successful record of accomplishment in providing data integration with SaaS applications, Pervasive provides Xactly a flexible licensing model compatible with its own on-demand pricing model. Xactly Incent customers have been able to enjoy a growing offering of Pervasive-powered online and on-premise data management solutions and can now trust their existing systems will be fully integrated with Xactly's entire suite of Sales Performance Management products.

"Disparate data can be daunting, especially for sales and finance departments. By integrating Xactly Incent with customers' existing accounting, CRM and ERP systems, we can extend the value of their investment and give them maximum power in sales performance management," states Laura Roach, Executive Practice Leader, SPM Strategies at Xactly. "Partnering with Pervasive allows us to do implementations in days or weeks as opposed to months, and that really provides a quick value to our customers, giving them full-range capabilities, lower TCO and predictable implementation."

"The Pervasive-Xactly partnership is mutually rewarding and successful on multiple levels," said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager of Integration Products at Pervasive. "We work closely with Xactly to achieve customer wins and propel each company forward with innovative offerings, a competitive advantage and market expansion opportunities. With embedded Pervasive integration, Xactly provides their customers with powerful, affordable integration across a range of delivery models with the speed and economics of SaaS."

Xactly Corporation is the market leader in on-demand sales performance management. The company's flagship product, Xactly Incent, enables sales and finance executives to design, implement, manage, audit and optimize sales compensation management programs easily and affordably.
