Xactly Deploys MapR’s Distribution for Hadoop
MapR Technologies, Inc. today announced that Xactly has deployed the MapR Distribution for Hadoop to deliver unparalleled performance and innovation for its customers.
Behind general employee salaries, variable sales compensation is often one of the biggest line items for any company. It is also one of the most crucial and complex processes to manage. As Xactly’s business continues to flourish – rapidly growing to billions of transactions per month - its traditional technology platform could not cost-effectively keep up with its future growth trajectory. As such, Xactly decided to implement Hadoop within its IT infrastructure to effectively and efficiently scale to meet its growth demands and embarked on a comprehensive review of available technologies, including MapR.
“The new data paradigm provided by MapR allowed us to perform data science at scale. We can iterate through our new insights algorithms much faster. Queries that used to take hours for our data science team now take minutes to process. With this level of performance we can provide not only industry-leading deep analytics but also the new groundbreaking Xactly Insights and benchmarking solutions so a customer can see how it performs compared to others in similar industries,” said Ron Rasmussen, VP of engineering, Xactly Corporation.
