SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), the
leader in Sales Performance
Management (SPM), today launched OpenCommissions, the industry's

also includes breaking industry news, downloadable sales and sample sales
compensation plan templates, job forums and blog. The OpenCommissions blog

"SPM is highly beneficial, yet complex to understand," said Jim Parker,
director of worldwide commissions, at Novell. "It is difficult to improve
sales performance without the correct knowledge and information.
OpenCommissions allows everyone to easily connect with professionals for
advice, learn from other SPM users and access critical information. It
offers the tools needed to research, improve and stay updated on the latest
sales performance management trends."

OpenCommissions gives users the opportunity to network with industry
professionals all over the world and build personal contacts. Visitors to
the community can access information on sales performance management
including sales performance management whitepapers, SPM best practices, SPM
case studies and implementation tips.

"OpenCommissions is a community where SPM professionals can network, share
knowledge and exchange experiences," said Allison Solin, director of
customer marketing, at Callidus Software. "We invite everyone to join,
connect with peers and tap into our vast repository of news, events and
research. Additionally, we designed vendor specific discussion groups for
customers to share best practices, valuable advice and have access to sales
and tech support."
