Press Releases

September 9, 2008: Glow-Teknologies announced today a corporate name change to Glocent. 

According to CEO Alan Marrott, “we have used the original name since 2001, when we embarked on a three-pronged effort that included off-shore development services, market research and product development.  The events of September 11, 2001 altered our course.  We were led to close our outsourcing operations in Pakistan and focus on developing our flagship product, Glocent 2.0.  After five years of implementing Glocent as a complete compensation management solution, our clients and the market have both come to view us as Glocent rather than Glow-Teknologies.   With Glocent being used across the US and internationally, it became apparent that it was a good time to rename the company Glocent and focus on our product strengths.  The name Glocent, derived from Global Incentives, has come to define who we are.”
 
Glocent is a web-based software system that precisely and efficiently calculates, manages and reports compensation and incentives for medium to large businesses. Glocent replaces the use of spreadsheets and other archaic internal systems with their inherent high error rates in paying commissions and incentives. Glocent simplifies the often complex and arduous processes in sales organizations and makes them timely, accurate and easy to maintain.
