Xactly Improved Account Scoring with ZoomInfo, with 86% of Wins from Top-Tier Accounts

The sales performance management software company rebuilt its account scoring on ZoomInfo data, and in the first quarter its top-scored accounts produced 78% of opportunities and 86% of wins.

VANCOUVER, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that Xactly, a sales performance management and revenue intelligence software company, rebuilt its account scoring on ZoomInfo data and now traces the large majority of its pipeline and wins to its top-scored accounts, according to the company. In the first quarter after the new model went live, 77% of Xactly’s marketing-qualified leads came from accounts it scored A or B.

Xactly has sold data-backed revenue software since 2005, when it got its start automating sales compensation. So it knew the problem when it saw it in its own pipeline. Too many of Xactly’s leads came from accounts outside its ideal customer profile, and every one of them pulled a seller’s time toward a buyer who was unlikely to close.

The fix was clear and hard to build. Xactly needed an account scoring model that could tell sellers which accounts were worth pursuing, but it could not find a data provider able to fuel one. A scoring model is only as good as the data underneath it. Ranked on thin or stale internal records, even a smart algorithm just sorts the same incomplete list.

That is the gap ZoomInfo filled. Beyond firmographics and technographics, ZoomInfo applied advanced account intelligence that produced scores and signals Xactly could not get elsewhere. Xactly combined that layer with its own customer and prospect data, identified the traits its best customers shared, and built a scoring algorithm on top. The model graded about 245,000 prospect accounts into A, B, C, and D tiers, so the company could aim its time, money, and people at A and B. ZoomInfo’s customer success team helped build and run the model rather than handing over a feed and stepping back.

The payoff showed up in the first quarter. 77% of Xactly’s marketing-qualified leads came from A or B accounts, and those accounts represented 78% of opportunities and 86% of wins, according to the company. By the company’s account, the algorithm worked right out of the gate, with little to no fine-tuning needed.

Xactly is now extending ZoomInfo across its marketing and sales teams to keep both aimed at the same target accounts. Its broader AI strategy runs on ZoomInfo data as well, wrapped in a governance framework for secure use, on the company’s own view that AI-powered tools are only as trustworthy as the data beneath them.

PayIt Cut Its Database by About a Third with ZoomInfo, Saving Tens of Thousands

The government payments platform turned a legacy database of more than 100,000 disorganized records into one clean, governed system its account-based marketing could finally run on.

VANCOUVER, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that PayIt, a platform that modernizes payments between governments and residents, reduced the size of its marketing and sales database by about one-third and saved tens of thousands of dollars in the process, according to the company.

PayIt lets state and local agencies collect property taxes, tolls, utilities, and parking tickets, serving jurisdictions that cover more than 100 million people across North America. But selling to governments is nothing like selling to businesses. Its legacy database had swelled to more than 100,000 data points with little structure, and the usual software-marketing playbook did not translate. Government employees do not fill out lead forms, the company notes, because they are trained not to. What matters instead is multi-touch attribution across a whole account, and PayIt’s duplicate records and competing scoring systems could not support it.

Working with ZoomInfo’s implementation team, PayIt rebuilt the foundation. It merged duplicate records, attached loose contacts to the right accounts, and purged data it did not need. It set rules to block future duplicates and collapsed a patchwork of scoring systems into one. The company describes it as a genuinely complex data governance problem, and credits the depth of the implementation help with solving it.

The payoff was direct. PayIt reduced its database by about one-third, cutting marketing automation costs by tens of thousands of dollars, according to the company. Reassigning accounts between reps now takes seconds, which matters because its territories change constantly. And with clean data underneath them, PayIt’s business development reps can now predict with confidence whether they will hit their monthly meeting targets.

More Than 12,000 Seek Compensation Directly Through SCE for Eaton Fire Recovery

Three common myths explained about the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program.

ROSEMEAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Southern California Edison today announced that more than 12,000 participants have sought compensation directly through its Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program.

“The strong participation reflects the importance of providing impacted community members with a fair and accessible path to compensation,” said Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, SCE’s parent company. “Our focus is on helping people better understand how the process works so they can make informed decisions about their next steps.”

As of July 24:

• Nearly 4,000 claims submitted, consisting of more than 12,000 individuals, trusts and legal entities, with 38% submitted by attorneys or authorized representatives.

• More than 2,200 offers extended to over 5,400 claimants, totaling more than $750 million.

• More than 2,300 claimants paid, totaling over $360 million, with many more in process.

Fact vs. Fiction: Explaining Three Common Myths

As participation continues to grow, SCE is addressing three common misconceptions about the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program to help community members make informed decisions about their recovery options.

Fiction: Your claim submission will be used against you in litigation.

Fact: The information provided by claimants will be used exclusively to evaluate claims and explore potential settlements. Your submission will not impact your ability to pursue litigation in any current or future legal proceeding. Filing a claim does not waive your rights. Receiving and evaluating an offer does not waive your rights either.

Fiction: Donations are deducted from your compensation.

Fact: Financial assistance, charitable donations and other forms of community support do not reduce a claimant’s potential compensation through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. These resources are intended to help individuals and families recover and are not treated as offsets to program offers.

Fiction: Waiting for your day in court will yield a higher settlement amount.

Fact: There’s no assurance that a claimant will receive more through a lawsuit. The Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program is designed to offer compensation in line with settlement values for similar claims in past wildfire lawsuits, with a more streamlined and faster approach than litigation. Court proceedings are lengthy and uncertain. That day in court may not be days or months — it could be years. Even past wildfire settlement processes have been slow and expensive for all parties involved. Some claims from 2017 and 2018 fires, which involved significantly fewer plaintiffs than the Eaton Fire, are still pending today.

On average, offers are being delivered within 35 days, well within the 90-day commitment following submission of a substantially complete claim. Payments are made within 30 days after all conditions in the settlement agreement have been satisfied, with many claimants receiving payment in as little as two to three weeks.

More Fact vs. Fiction

With so much misleading information out there, it can be tough to get a clear picture. Explore more fact vs. fiction topics in this story, including the misconception that the program pays pennies on the dollar.

Submit By Nov. 30

Eligible individuals and businesses have until Nov. 30, 2026 to submit a claim.

• Visit the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program web page to get started.

• For one-on-one assistance in multiple languages, call 888-912-8528. In-person appointments are also available to guide claimants through the requirements and help them along the way.

• For firms representing multiple eligible claimants, a bulk intake process is available. Email the team to get started.

Editor’s Note: The news release published on July 16 stated that more than $750 million had been offered through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. At the time of publication, more than $740 million had been offered through the Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program. To date, the amount offered now exceeds $750 million.

ISG to Study Multi Public Cloud Solution Providers

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens^® report will evaluate software providers helping enterprises manage cloud cost, reliability and security as AI expands

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers of multi public cloud solutions that help enterprises manage distributed cloud environments.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens^® report, called Multi Public Cloud Solutions, scheduled to be released in December 2026. The report will cover companies offering software platforms for multicloud FinOps, observability and security.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use the report’s insights to evaluate their current vendor relationships, identify potential new engagements and compare available offerings. ISG advisors will use the research to guide clients through increasingly complex transformation and platform investment decisions.

Organizations are accelerating cloud-native modernization across hybrid and multicloud environments as AI becomes more embedded in business operations. As cloud estates expand, they face growing complexity in managing the cost, reliability and security of distributed architectures. AI workloads add new challenges related to infrastructure tracking and cost attribution, while security teams must protect both development and runtime operations. Companies increasingly are seeking platforms that provide clearer operational intelligence, stronger financial accountability and more consistent security controls.

“Enterprises are moving into a more demanding phase of multicloud adoption, where visibility, governance and automation are essential,” said Heiko Henkes, managing director at ISG. “As AI workloads become more common, providers that help organizations manage cost control, observability and security will play an increasingly important role in enterprise cloud strategy.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 75 multi public cloud solution providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce three quadrants representing the multi public cloud solution platforms enterprises are buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:

• Multicloud FinOps Platforms, evaluating software vendors that provide cloud financial management platforms for multiple public clouds. These platforms help organizations maintain accountability, allocate costs, manage commitments and optimize spending while using FinOps to address AI-related needs such as GPU usage and AI workload attribution.
• Multicloud Observability Platforms, assessing vendors of platforms for containerized applications, Kubernetes environments and AI infrastructure. These platforms collect and correlate telemetry across hybrid and multicloud environments to support capacity planning, root cause analysis, reliability, performance and modern engineering practices.
• Multicloud Security Platforms, covering independent software vendors that secure infrastructure and applications across multicloud environments. They are assessed on their ability to unify workload protection, entitlement management, Kubernetes security, data security and software supply chain controls.

A report produced from the study will cover the global Multi Public Cloud Solutions market and examine products and services available globally. ISG analyst Shashank Rajmane will serve as author of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as Multi Public Cloud Solution providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2026 ISG Provider Lens evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data capturing real-world enterprise feedback on specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research.

About ISG

ISG (Nasdaq: III) is a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. A trusted partner to more than 900 clients, including 75 of the world’s top 100 enterprises, ISG is a long-time leader in technology and business services that is now at the forefront of leveraging AI to help organizations achieve operational excellence and faster growth.

How Arena Covered Its Entire ZoomInfo Contract Cost in the First Month

The community platform replaced three separate go-to-market tools with ZoomInfo and generated enough business in its first month to cover the entire cost of the contract.

VANCOUVER, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that Arena, a communication platform that helps businesses build online communities, generated enough business in its first month on ZoomInfo to cover the entire cost of its contract, according to the company.

Arena, founded in 2017, gives companies of every size a way to connect their users through group conversations and direct messages. Its customers range from early-stage startups to public companies. To keep growing, Arena set out to move upmarket into the enterprise segment, and that required a repeatable go-to-market motion it did not yet have.

The obstacle was the data underneath. Arena ran a patchwork of separate tools for contact data, website visitor tracking, and technographic insight, and the systems did not talk to each other. Coverage of large accounts was thin, bounce rates ran high, and the sales team spent its hours stitching insights together by hand instead of acting on them. Selling into the enterprise demands a depth and accuracy the old stack could not reach. So that segment stayed mostly out of reach.

Arena consolidated all three tools into a single platform. In one place, the team could pull verified contact and company data on enterprise accounts, see which companies were visiting its website, and check the technologies its targets already ran. Broader coverage meant fewer blank fields when the team built an account list. Verified contacts meant messages reached real inboxes instead of bouncing. And one connected source meant reps stopped assembling data and started working it. That combination made a full account-based marketing motion possible for the first time.

The payoff was fast. In its first month on the platform, Arena generated enough business to cover the entire cost of its contract, according to the company. Folding three vendors into one also closed the gaps between disconnected systems and tightened alignment across the team. The company reports it has grown faster with ZoomInfo than with any solution it used before.

Arena now treats the platform as core infrastructure rather than one more tool in the stack. The company considers it as important to the business as its CRM system.

demandDrive Turned Website Visitors Into Millions in Recurring Revenue With ZoomInfo

The outsourced sales development firm consolidated a fragmented prospecting process into one platform and used website visitor identification to prioritize the accounts already showing interest.

VANCOUVER, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that demandDrive, an outsourced sales development and demand generation firm, attributes millions of dollars in annual recurring revenue to the way it now finds and prioritizes buyers, according to the company.

demandDrive runs prospecting, outbound, and lead generation programs on behalf of other companies, serving mid-market clients across business services. It sells a consultative model that pairs the flexibility of outsourcing with the training and management of an in-house inside sales team. As demandDrive expanded into new industries and verticals, each one meant starting research from scratch. Reaching a new market required searching websites, compiling and enriching contact lists, and standing up campaigns across a patchwork of separate tools.

For most companies, that fragmentation is an inconvenience. For demandDrive it was friction in the product itself. When your entire service is prospecting, the quality and speed of your data is what clients are paying for. A slow start in a new vertical is not internal drag. It is a client waiting on pipeline.

ZoomInfo consolidated the work into a single platform. The team now builds and enriches target lists for new verticals from one verified source of company and contact data, instead of stitching together separate tools. It then added website visitor identification, which matches anonymous website traffic to the companies behind it. That gave demandDrive a live view of which businesses were already researching its services. The company credits two things working together: breadth of data, so a new vertical list comes back filled in rather than half-empty, and website behavior, so the team knows which of those companies to prioritize and how to personalize the outreach.

demandDrive credits that combination with millions of dollars in annual recurring revenue, according to the company. It frames the result in recurring revenue rather than a one-time win, the metric that matters most for an outsourced provider running ongoing programs for its clients.

demandDrive now plans to scale automated sales development and expand its prospecting processes, with ZoomInfo at the center of how it finds and prioritizes buyers.
