SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 29, 2020 — Xactly, the leading innovator of cloud-based Sales Performance Management (SPM) software, today announced the details of its upcoming Unleashed Europe Virtual Summit to be held on Thursday, October 8 at 9:00am BST. The event will also be recorded for audiences to view on Xactly’s website.

Following the success of Xactly’s Global Unleashed Virtual Summit held in June, which reached over 3,000 industry professionals around the world, the upcoming event will be packed with fresh content geared towards sales, finance, operations, and compensation leaders across Europe and beyond.

Marking the first virtual Sales Performance Management event in Europe, it will feature inspiring keynote speakers including:

  • Xactly Founder and CEO Chris Cabrera, and Forrester Principal Analyst Mary Shea, who will share the latest research on Sales Performance Management and how it directly relates to EMEA.
  • Chief Customer Officer, Bernie Kassar will host a panel discussion with Xactly’s European customers, including Ben Trewin, Sales Performance Management Leader at Baker Hughes; Geriant Lawrence, Global Commercial Excellence Manager at GE Renewable; and Todor Atev, Senior Director and Head of CCO Finance at HERE Technologies.

In addition, there will be educational breakout sessions with leading SPM experts and networking with industry peers.

Xactly’s latest virtual summit comes at a time of solid momentum for the company. Last month, its technology was recognized as Product of the Year by Business Intelligence Group in the 2020 Sales and Technology Marketing Awards, and The Software Report named Chris Cabrera one of the Top-50 SaaS CEOs of 2020. Earlier this month, Xactly also rolled out a new product that leverages AI to offer unparalleled sales forecast accuracy: Xactly Forecasting.

Most recently, the company announced that it has entered a strategic relationship with Oracle.

As part of the agreement, Xactly has chosen Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as its primary cloud provider to run its Incent Suite. Further, Oracle and Xactly will work together to jointly market and sell solutions. Overall, this partnership will allow Xactly to provide customers with improved performance and speed, and easy and rapid expansion into new geographic regions. Xactly is a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

“Oracle is excited to have a world-class SaaS provider like Xactly join the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure community,” said Dave Profozich, senior vice-president, North America ISV Ecosystem, Oracle. “We are focused on delivering superior performance and value to our joint customers from our global Cloud Regions. By adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Xactly is improving operational efficiencies to better serve its global customers.”

Joining forces with Oracle will further fuel Xactly’s growth in new markets. By investing in Oracle as a platform provider, Xactly will be running on the same technology as thousands of existing Oracle customers. This elevates Xactly’s value proposition by enabling Oracle customers to leverage the power of Xactly integrated into their existing Human Capital Management and Finance applications.

“Oracle is the industrial-strength IaaS backbone that Xactly requires to support our expansion and power global scale, reach, reliability and security,” said Xactly Founder and CEO Chris Cabrera. “Partnering with an industry-leading organization of this caliber validates the value and relevance of SPM as a critical business process. We look forward to leveraging Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure to provide exceptional price-performance capabilities and drive continued innovation for our customers.”

Cabrera will be discussing the Oracle relationship and Xactly’s forward-looking growth plans more in-depth during his keynote at the Unleashed Europe Virtual Summit. To register for the event, visit https://see.xactlycorp.com/unleashed-virtual-2020-europe.

Schools are still catching up after Google opened Gemini to every student

Schools are still catching up after Google opened Gemini to every student

Education Week reports that expanded student access to Gemini has raised classroom-policy questions. Managed school accounts and personal accounts have different terms and controls. District leaders should verify current access, feature age restrictions and data protections before setting classroom guidance.

  • 01Google lists Gemini Apps as a core service for Education Fundamentals, Standard and Plus with all-age access; some features are age-restricted. Google AI Pro for Education has separate eligibility requirements.
  • 02Guided Learning, the step-by-step mode inside Gemini, is the feature that bears most directly on the cheating-versus-learning question, and Fast Company noted it is similar to the Study mode OpenAI had announced in ChatGPT the week before.
  • 03For districts, “students can use Gemini” is too coarse: which mode they land in and who supervises first use can change what the tool does with a homework question

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is the first model to hit its 'Critical' cyber threshold

OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6 Astra and says it is the first model to reach the "Critical" cybersecurity tier of its Preparedness Framework, Campus Technology reported Sept. 10. The label is the vendor's own. Campus and district IT leaders now weigh it alongside Microsoft's legally enforceable AI data protections, open to all districts Nov. 1.

  • 01A frontier vendor is now publishing its own capability tier alongside a broadly deployed release, which gives procurement a sharper question to ask every AI supplier: which tier, and what mitigations come with it.
  • 02Microsoft's legally enforceable student and teacher data protections open to every U.S. district on Nov. 1, a concrete reference point for anyone negotiating AI contract terms with other vendors this fall.
  • 03OpenAI's Navier-Stokes claim and Anthropic's formal-proof work are, as reported, vendor claims; independent verification is the signal that would turn either into a result.

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State won Maryland's first public AI degree in months by building it first

Morgan State University launched Maryland's first public AI bachelor's degree by converting an existing cloud computing program into a full AI curriculum, completing the regulatory approval in months rather than years. The program prioritizes foundational computer science alongside AI-specific coursework and hands-on reinforcement learning projects, positioning graduates to design and extend AI models rather than simply use them.

  • 01Morgan State built 18 AI courses and embedded 8 completed projects into the curriculum before formally proposing the degree, enabling regulatory approval in days once evidence of the running program was presented.
  • 02Every student learns classical programming and data structures first, then progresses through problem-based courses scaled by difficulty level, culminating in a capstone with no lectures where the instructor acts as support.
  • 03The program emphasizes reasoning grounded in reinforcement learning and the Markov decision process rather than statistical analysis alone, preparing students to extend AI models and control technology instead of being directed by it.
