Xactly CEA is allowing us to be in compliance with ASC606 without having an additional person calculating commissions and maintaining a massive spreadsheet.
  • Amortization & capitalization.
  • Follow set rules defining when/how certain payments are expensed.
  • Formatting of some reports in Excel isn't ideal when exported.
  • Expense rules are on the back end which requires asking support to update (although these are handled quickly).
CEA is well suited for small and rapidly growing companies where manually calculating commissions expense for ASC606 is not an option due to a lack of internal resources. CEA is less appropriate for larger companies that have the resources and likely a person, or people, who only focus on commissions.

  • Prevented adding an additional head.
  • Easy way to comply with ASC606.
CEA was easy to use, easy to implement, and at the right price.
Go into implementation knowing how you will handle churn, if there are claw backs, treatment for every type of commission payment (i.e. new business, renewals, etc.) and know your average customer life. You'll also want details by customer for as far back as you can go (within reason).

The accounting department owns CEA. We have both a 605 and a 606 instance, with different rules set up in each instance according to our policies under the different standards. Our financials for the year ended January 31, 2019. That was the first year we were live with 606, so now we use the 606 instances exclusively. CEA provides us with automated amortization waterfalls and journal entries. In a perfect state, we would be able to download the journal entries and upload directly to NetSuite. However, due to the state our ICM system where commissions are not calculated accurately or timely, this is not possible. In addition, we are a publicly traded company and the system is not in compliance with our ITGCs, so there is a lot of additional manual checks that I must perform before booking entries.
  • Amortization waterfalls
  • Locked periods & PPA adjustments
  • Journal entries
  • Not possible to make back-end changes to amortization schedules independently (for example, if departments need to be changed).
  • Impossible to change rules without customer support, for example, if a new plan is added.
  • Have to run separate amortization schedules for each subsidiary rather than at a consolidated level.
Well suited if the company has an ICM solution that can produce accurate data on a timely basis. Not well suited for companies where commission calculations are not automated. Not well suited for companies with frequent plan changes.

  • No longer need to calculate amortization of deferred commissions.
  • With CEA, it takes 60 hours per month to do a commissions accounting close. This is due to manual controls needed for SOX compliance and the poor state of ICM.
Clean up existing data before uploading it! Consider the fields used to create a unique identifier and whether this will cause problems— manual adjustments often need to be adjusted because of duplicates. Consider what is needed on the ICM side to ensure accurate accounting and ease of configuration on the CEA side.
We selected Xactly CEA for ASC 606.

Obero SPM is being used across the enterprise in finance to aggregate financial data and run models. The reports and templates are used by various business groups and can be accessed across functions to view data. The problems it addresses are instead of working on manual spreadsheets, the models calculate the required information and push it to separate models.
  • User-Friendly
  • Fast
  • Support
  • Dashboard is on a different page
  • Needing to rerun reports
  • Not being able to download reports and edit them
Forecasting and reporting capabilities are very user-friendly. The interface is good for cross-business functionality!
  • Efficiency
  • Centralized
  • Accurate
  • FDW and SQB
Obero is much more user-friendly and updated from the older versions.
