Boost the Power of Information

Targeted for sales, human resources and finance professionals, all nGen Compensation™ modules (Sales, Bonus, and Salary) offer an integrated reporting solution, allowing them to work together seamlessly or serve as individual modules. This unprecedented flexibility as a total compensation solution is what sets nGen Compensation™ apart from other best-of-breeds in the compensation automation pack. Now you have the power to search, report and communicate accurate compensation data easily, with 4 key mechanisms:

• Real Time: Provides the ability to run and view "What-If" calculation scenarios against the rules engine.
• System/Automated Reports: These include standard templates for all of the modules in XLS, .DOC and PDF formats.
• 'Ad Hoc' Reports: This interface allows the user to create criteria and filters, organize columns, and save custom reports.
• Data Analytics: This area enables 'Drill In' functionality to see data many different ways based upon OLAP 'cubes'.

Real Time Reporting

Easily design and review sales compensation plans before they are implemented. nGen Sales™ has the ability create plans in a 'Model' environment before releasing them into 'Production'. Now you can see your plans, make changes and take control of your compensation plans instead of letting them control you.

• Model new incentives or changes to existing incentives to see expected payouts before implementation.
• View side-by-side comparisons of incentives by individual, territory, team or any combination.
• Forecast total incentive compensation expenses based upon current trends and potential scenarios.
• Motivate employees by enabling them to track their performance towards goals and estimate their bonuses.
• Drive top line revenue growth through a motivated sales force that can model potential commissions.

Compensation "What If" Calculation for Sales Representatives and Managers

Why should the sales team wait and wonder what their payouts can be? nGen Sales™ allows two real time views of their compensation and the ability to export to XLS, XML, and CVS files.

• Query the system with potential orders and pipeline information to view potential payouts.
• View total potential payout for bonus, performance awards, MBO's and other variable compensation factors with easy to use 'Sliders'.

The power to drive revenue is in your hands. Teams can quickly and easily see how they can maximize their payment, and you can focus on paying for their performance.

Bonus and Salary Forecasting and Analysis with "What-If" Payout Viewing

See the effects of Bonus and Salary plans in a 'Model' environment before releasing them into 'Production'. With nGen Bonus™ and nGen Salary™ you can see your plans, make changes, and estimate participant payouts before implementation. The forecasting and analysis tools provide three views of Bonus and Salary compensation in real time:

• Query and Estimate: Users can perform "What-If" analysis with their individual and role based bonus elements to view potential payouts and thus incenting optimal bonus behavior.
• View Total Potential Payouts: Model new incentives and salary levels or changes to existing incentives and salary levels to see expected payouts before implementation. View side-by-side comparisons of total pay outs by individual, plan, team or any combination.
• Budgets: Create estimated payout amounts, and estimate scenarios for accruals and finance.

System Automated Reporting

Easily automate reports for the field and management. The nGen Compensation™ reporting system has the ability to schedule reports for different users at different customizable time intervals. Reports are created and accessible via security roles and user privileges on the Sales Dashboard or the Operational Dashboards. This allows user to view 'historical' reports and enables self service capability. Also, administrators who require custom reporting are supported with easy SQL related reports, either as 'Ad Hoc' reports or as system generated reports.

nGen Compensation™ includes several groups of template reports by functional module:

• Sales: Monthly commission statements, team summary reports, detail transaction reports, team ranking reports, Y-T-D compensation statements, product report, daily activity, attainment, plan summary and territory status reports
• Bonus: Bonus allocation, individual statement, worksheet of subordinates, plan summary and budget report
• Salary: Salary allocation, individual statement, worksheet of subordinates, plan summary and budget report
• Workflow: Audits and workflow status by category

Analytics and 'Drill In' Reporting

Easily design, save and modify reports via an easy to use interface. This interface allows the user to create and add data columns from any data field/table in the system. In addition, combine the data columns with simple filters and criteria to expand or narrow the data selected from the data set. The user interface also enables users to create summary reports with grouping and simple layouts for the report data. Users can run and review the reports real time, then make changes, save the report, and even export data to CVS, XML, PDF and XLS.

Use robust analytics to easily identify trends. Group and view data via 'cubes' and different axis. The 'Drill In' functionality of nGen Compensation™ allows users to view and export data to CVS and XLS files for maximum use and data mining. The pre-built OLAP elements allow for Payee Views, Plan Views, Product Views and Custom data views. These views are also transferable to Dashboard Gauges, and Charts. This functionality is also capable of security enablement, to restrict viewing based upon application roles while allowing the transfer of information to executives and other managers.

Application Security and Roles

Your complex organization demands that security is controlled and role specific. The entire nGen Compensation™ software suite enables administrators to create roles and groups to limit the users' ability to view, edit, update and print the data. The system utilizes a simple set of user interfaces to grant or revoke access to dashboards, workflow, and compensation plan administration, as well as to the modules for Sales, Bonus and Salary.
