Recommendations to others considering Vistex:
Do not use spot consultants! Get your plan together before trying to bring in multiple consultants. We implemented Vistex in 2010 using Version 60A. There is no documentation from the consultants and there are also a few customizations we made to assist in exception tracking. Make sure you set up your system as the business needs it to be set up. We implemented in 2010, in 2014 the sales comp model changed and myself as an administrator and doing all the configurations was not aware until the supervisor was extremely upset the system wasn't doing what they wanted it to do. We now have to reconfigure based on the business needs - biggest recommendation - ENGAGE your ENDUSERS as much as possible during the design phases and keep them involved for all testing and reporting.

What problems is Vistex solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to calculate and pay sales comp for global accounts, North America, and we also use it for our Dealer rebates. We like the fact that it is somewhat separated from SAP and allows the users to create agreements and assign conditions. We have been able to create a file for our ADP export also to allow the Sales members to be paid the same as the rest of the company via ADP without manual effort. We will be realizing more benefits as we revamp using the new functionality as we just went to version 60A SP8 to 60D SP4. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
