Unlocking revenue success: Oracle ranks first in the Ventana Research Buyers Guide 2023 for Revenue Performance Management

Revenue is a critical metric for any business but analyzing and enhancing it can be challenging without a reliable single source of truth. To achieve sales success, complete visibility into historical data, current progress, and future prospects is essential. However, manual processes and disconnected legacy systems often fall short in providing this crucial insight.

Oracle Sales offers a powerful solution to overcome revenue roadblocks. By connecting revenue operations and data across your organization, from historical data in back-office systems to real-time customer insights in CRM, Oracle enables you to scale, grow, and achieve revenue goals effectively.

Key benefits of Oracle Sales for revenue performance management

Oracle Sales gives your entire sales organization visibility into your revenue data through the lens of historical actuals, current organizational hierarchies, and proposed territories. Sales organizations can drive better outcomes and manage even the most complex and large-scale compensation structures with what-if scenarios, compensation planning, and modeling. And even with significant organizational churn, sales operations can effectively plan based on historical revenue data enhanced by AI-driven predictions.

Sales leaders can ensure territories are balanced, and quotas are attainable with native territory and quota management, as well as data-driven modeling and allocation opportunities. With more data visibility and collaboration across sales organizations, teams can access and approve compensation documents, initiate and complete dispute management requirements, and manage paysheet approvals before final figures are sent to payroll for payout.
