SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Callidus Software Inc. , the industry leader in Enterprise Incentive Management (EIM), today announced that its TrueComp(R) Suite has successfully completed the IBM Grid enablement validation. Callidus is the only EIM provider that offers grid computing-based solutions. Its rules-based grid computing architecture, TrueComp Grid, enables customers to more cost-effectively deploy enterprise incentive management applications, by minimizing hardware costs while driving maximum performance to accomplish mission-critical reliability.
The IBM Grid enablement validation confirms that TrueComp can leverage a grid environment of heterogeneous technologies and geographically-dispersed systems.

Callidus TrueComp was able to take advantage of these resources, all at the same time, with optimum performance spanning east to west coast geographical locations.
"Grid computing leverages a customer's existing capital investments to increase productivity, IT responsiveness, and meet the requirements of a truly on demand business," said Ken King, vice president, Grid Computing, IBM. "Working together, IBM and Callidus help customers implement cost-effective and reliable EIM solutions to improve business performance."
The Callidus grid architecture meets the unique incentive management requirements of Global 5000 enterprises for flexibility, scalability and reliability, allowing them to process millions of transactions for tens of thousands of payees at top speeds.
"The ability to cost-effectively deploy EIM solutions that can scale to the organization's needs as these evolve, is crucial," said Robert Warfield, CTO at Callidus Software. "Our ongoing efforts with IBM support this innovative technology, providing customers with increased scalability and performance. Our joint customer successes showcase that a system built on rules-based grid computing architecture establishes the right technology foundation for optimally effective EIM."
