Varicent increases medical device industry penetration with the addition of Varian Medical Systems to their expanding customer base

TORONTO, July 14, 2010 - Varicent Software Incorporated, the leading innovator in incentive
compensation (ICM) and sales performance management (SPM) solutions,
announced today that a business unit within Varian Medical Systems, the
world's leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating
cancer and other medical conditions, has selected Varicent for administering
its complex sales incentive compensation plans and sales performance
management activities. Varian will initiate a staged roll out to the U.S.
sales force for its Oncology Systems business. Varicent will be used for
improved modeling, forecasting and sales analytics.

"We selected Varicent because the product is very flexible and meets our
complex calculation and administration needs," said Jeffrey Marcus, Varian's
vice president for worldwide sales. "The Varicent Team was professional, they
met our proof of concept requirements, and they offered us a complete
solution that integrates modeling, forecasting and analytics. We feel
confident that this product will help us to streamline our payouts, lower our
costs and speed up our process."

Varian had been using an Excel based solution for incentive compensation
and sales performance management, but it was limited in its capabilities.
Varian needed greater sophistication, flexibility and speed to enhance
reporting, provide analytics, and reduce error - all in a consolidated and
efficient manner. Varicent provided an on-premise solution that met these
needs.

    Key benefits of Varicent include:

    - Flexibility to meet Varian's complex calculation and
      administration needs
    - Decreasing the time and support required for payments
    - Providing sophisticated forecasting capabilities
    - A single, on-site solution that includes modeling, forecasting
      and analytics

"We are pleased that Varian has chosen Varicent for their Sales
Performance Management needs," said Marc Altshuller, Executive Vice
President, Worldwide Field Operations for Varicent. "Varian's adoption of our
software further extends our penetration into the medical device industry
which is a growing market for Varicent, and we look forward to working with
their team as they continue to drive improvements in their compensation
management processes."
