Varicent expected to enhance sales performance management functionality for multiple geographic business units

TORONTO, July 15, 2010 - Varicent Software Incorporated, the leading innovator in incentive
compensation (ICM) and sales performance management (SPM) solutions,
announced today that it will provide its innovative solutions to Alcon, the
world's largest eye-care company.

Alcon Japan recently chose Varicent after a thorough consideration of
other products on the market, and this first phase opened the doors to
broader-reaching discussions about opportunities to support Alcon's needs
worldwide. With thousands of salespeople, operating in 75 countries, Alcon
wanted a comprehensive and scalable solution to handle the magnitude and
complexity of its organization.

"After a thorough evaluation of the various options in the marketplace,
we decided Varicent was the best product to manage Alcon's sales performance
management needs," said Matt von Wellsheim, Alcon's CIO and Vice President of
Information Technologies. "We needed a solution that we could manage and
control that would put the right information in the hands of our sales
executives and management team."

Alcon will use Varicent for core commission calculation in addition to
scenario modeling, providing enhanced visibility into Alcon's current and
future sales quotas. With Varicent, Alcon will have better insight into how
the sales force meets its quotas, helping it to optimize the structure of its
sales forces around the world. The breadth and depth of information and
analysis provided will allow Alcon to make strategic decisions that have the
potential to drive revenue growth and profitability. In particular, Varicent
provides the company the ability to:

    -- Develop sophisticated analytics for modeling, forecasting, quota and
       targets
    -- Provide business ownership of the application
    -- Deliver information in the appropriate language for all users
    -- Achieve aggressive implementation timelines

"Alcon has products in more than 180 countries worldwide. We look forward
to working closely with Alcon as we roll the solutions out globally," said
Marc Altshuller, Executive Vice President, Varicent. "We are very proud that
an industry leader like Alcon has recognized the value that Varicent offers."
