EL SEGUNDO, CA – February 22, 2010 – iRise®, the global leader in enterprise visualization solutions today announced that Callidus Software (NASDAQ: CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), has chosen iRise to empower its vertical solutions delivery team to quickly demonstrate the value of its industry-leading SPM solutions to customers early in the sales process. Visual interactive demonstrations of Callidus Software's solutions help customers understand and interact with proposed solutions and configurations, which will help accelerate the sales and delivery process. Visualizations will also be used as a rapid, effective way to test new product features and concepts directly with customers, improving solution adoption.

"It is critical for software companies to adapt to the highly competitive market," stated Jimmy Duan, senior vice president analytics, business process management and SaaS solutions at Callidus Software. "For Callidus Software, it is essential to quickly respond to customers with new capabilities and functionalities that they need."

Before iRise, the business process management solution team at Callidus Software developed tailored screen mock-ups with a presentation tool to complement process flow diagrams and text documents. With iRise, high fidelity visualizations are created in hours so Callidus' customers can fully experience and interact with the proposed solutions. This accelerates the process of understanding and improving customer expectation management.

"Visualization enables us to improve the communication with our customers during the sales process," continued Mr. Duan. "iRise helps us provide more accurate models to the delivery team, minimizes changes and allows us to focus on customer satisfaction."

"The pace of innovation is accelerating," said Mitch Bishop, CMO at iRise. "Visualizing before you build is simply becoming a best practice for software companies that need to speed up product delivery and become ultra responsive to their customers."
