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.

AI detectors are turning into audit tools, not enforcement, in higher ed

AI detectors are turning into audit tools, not enforcement, in higher ed

AI detection tools can be used to review student writing, but their results are not definitive. In 2026, colleges are putting more emphasis on AI literacy, assessment redesign and clear guidance for acceptable AI use than on detection alone.

  • 0186% student AI use (Digital Education Council survey, cited by Community College Daily) makes “ban and catch” workflows expensive at scale. Training, course design, and tool governance become the controllable levers.
  • 02OECD’s 2026 Outlook warns that better-looking work with GenAI can disappear or reverse on exams without it, a signal that assessment design is now a learning-outcomes control, not a pedagogy preference.

Workforce Pell will cover 8- to 15-week trades programs starting in July 2026

Workforce Pell will cover 8- to 15-week trades programs starting in July 2026

A final U.S. Department of Education rule makes 8- to 15-week training eligible for Pell Grants, effective July 20, 2026. Eligibility is tied to completion, employment, and earnings measures. For contractors and HR leaders, it adds a federal funding option for short-term technician training, if programs meet the rule’s standards.

  • 01The 70% completion and 70% employment thresholds turn Workforce Pell into a performance contract, not a blank-check subsidy, when selecting school partners.
  • 02For employers, written training agreements are now a procurement artifact: institutions can outsource up to 25% of instruction, and Registered Apprenticeship sponsors up to 49%, shaping how companies staff labs, instructors, and OJT.
  • 03State-by-state approval is the choke point. Governors and workforce boards decide which occupations qualify before federal sign-off, so multi-state employers will see uneven program availability.

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

Back-to-school IT teams are buying EdTech in a market where half the funding sits with 10 firms

New Market Pitch’s July 13, 2026 ranking says the top 10 EdTech startups hold about 50.2% of total funding in its filtered ranking; BYJU’S accounts for about 15.1% and is listed at about $6.0B raised. EdTech Digest’s 2011 profile of Wishbone describes an organization that links donors online with at-risk high school students to fund after-school and summer programs.

  • 01Funding tables can hide procurement risk: New Market Pitch lists some entries with “partial” confidence and flags “acquired” statuses without naming acquirers, so buyers should treat capital rankings as a starting point, not due diligence.
  • 02Some education initiatives behave like supply chains, not software: EdTech Digest’s description of Wishbone’s model highlights the operational work in vetting, publishing, funding, and progress updates, workflows that live outside the LMS.
