Akeron, a global enterprise software provider headquartered in Lucca, Italy, with offices across Europe and the United States, announces a strategic partnership with NextDecision, a France-based consulting and integration firm specialized in Sales Performance Management (SPM) and Incentive Compensation Management (ICM).
In today’s enterprise landscape, software alone is not enough. Successful transformations require a strong ecosystem of partners capable of delivering at scale.
Through this partnership, Akeron continues to expand its network of expert integrators in France, reinforcing its ability to deliver Vulki by Akeron to large organizations managing complex, multi-entity and multi-country sales compensation models. NextDecision is recognized for its deep expertise in structuring and optimizing variable compensation frameworks, industrializing incentive processes, and delivering robust technical implementations of SPM platforms. The firm combines advisory capabilities with hands-on integration experience, supporting companies from design through long-term adoption.
Vulki by Akeron is built to handle enterprise-level complexity — from real-time calculation to flexible global configurations — enabling organizations to improve governance, visibility, and strategic alignment across sales compensation programs. By combining Akeron’s platform architecture with NextDecision’s integration expertise, organizations can move from fragmented incentive processes to a unified, scalable, and strategically aligned Sales Performance Management mode.
Together, Akeron and NextDecision will support Sales, Sales Operations, HR, and Compensation & Benefits leaders in scaling reliable and future-ready ICM frameworks.
“Enterprise ICM projects often fail not because of the platform, but because of execution. Global incentive compensation demands both a powerful platform and a strong ecosystem. Technology alone isn’t enough. Real impact comes from shared methodology, strong collaboration, and a long-term commitment to customer success. At Akeron, we focus on building enterprise software that supports our clients as they grow and evolve. With NextDecision, we’re combining architecture, expertise, and partnership to deliver results that last.”, Manuel Vellutini, Co-CEO, Akeron
