This SPM offering, along with salesforce automation and the SAP CPQ solution, are part of the SAP Sales Cloud portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>With SAP Sales Cloud:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lenovo reduced its quota-setting time to one week from one month<\/li>\n<li>Docker increased accuracy of payment compensation plans by 95 percent, nearly eliminating disputes<\/li>\n<li>Pivotal Software reduced compensation inaccuracy by 72 percent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIn a competitive landscape it is critical for companies to set aggressive goals to ensure fast growth,\u201d said Paula Hansen, chief revenue officer and co-head of SAP Customer Experience. \u201cBut the truth is many companies don\u2019t hit their revenue goals, with average quota attainment often falling in the 50\u201360 percent range. SAP\u2019s SPM solution includes analytics with machine learning that increases operational efficiency and planning effectiveness, which helps turn sales professionals into a profitable sales machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SAP Sales Cloud solution is part of the larger SAP Customer Experience portfolio, which also includes the SAP Marketing Cloud, SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP Service Cloud and SAP Customer Data Cloud solutions.<\/p>\n<p>SAP was also named a Leader in CPQ application suites and salesforce automation.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/cmp\/cx\/gartner-mq-spm-gcs21\/index.html\">download a complimentary copy of the report here<\/a>, with Gartner\u2019s in-depth analysis on the sales performance management landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/\">SAP News Center<\/a>.
