  SAN JOSE, CA and MARLBOROUGH, MA, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE)
-- 
At the WorldatWork Total Rewards 2009 Conference and Exhibition in
Seattle today, Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced benefits
and talent management solutions, and Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ:
CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), announced a joint
marketing relationship. Callidus Software and Workscape extend the
functionality of their respective solutions -- Workscape's Compensation
Planner and Callidus' TrueComp(R) Manager software -- creating the
broadest set of compensation solutions in the industry.

    Providing total control over both sales and non-sales based compensation,
the combination of solutions from Callidus Software and Workscape enables
Workscape to offer a full-end-to-end sales compensation management
solution and further expands its leadership position in the talent
management market. Through the partnership, Callidus Software can also
offer new functionality such as salary and merit planning and stock option
allocations to its customers. Workscape Compensation Planner provides
guidelines, budget control and approvals to all merit, bonus, stock and
other elements of compensation planning for general employees. Callidus
TrueComp Manager software optimizes incentive compensation across
companies of any size and industry, drives revenue and aligns employee
behavior with corporate objectives. The result is a comprehensive
solution-set that can tackle the toughest compensation management
requirements.

    "We are pleased to ally ourselves with Callidus Software to offer our
customers a solution that enables them to improve control of their sales
compensation processes. Through this alliance, we can provide our clients
with access to a broader array of compensation solutions that are designed
to introduce greater visibility and control to compensation practices
across an enterprise," stated Tony Marzulli, chief marketing officer at
Workscape.

    "Our customers want a unified way to manage all aspects of compensation,
from salaries to commissions to stock options," said Steve Apfelberg,
senior vice president of marketing and business development at Callidus
Software. "Through our relationship with Workscape, we now offer software
solutions to manage the full spectrum of employee and partner pay."

    Workscape Compensation Planner not only tracks salary increases and
rewards associated with annual performance reviews, but it also manages
off-cycle compensation changes to help avoid budget overruns. Automatic
application of corporate compensation guidelines and limits, along with
instant visibility into budget impact, makes it easier for managers to
handle tough decisions.

    The Callidus TrueComp software suite enables companies to more effectively
manage the entire incentive and sales compensation processes, from
calculation to reporting to dispute resolution. The TrueComp suite
provides ease of use and flexibility for compensation plan
administration, allowing customers to be agile in adjusting sales
strategies to respond to changing market conditions. By optimizing their
investment in sales compensation, companies are able to drive revenue
within a prudent commission expense structure.

    Both organizations are exhibiting at the WorldatWork Total Rewards 2009
Conference and Exhibition in Seattle, which held its opening reception on
May 31. Exhibits open on June 1 and continue through June 2. Both
companies are conducting a "Compensation Quiz" at the conference and
participants can win a Flip video camera. To enter, visit the Callidus
Software booth #713 and the Workscape booth #703. More information about
