Challenges of Transitioning to Subscription Model at Autodesk

The shift from perpetual licensing to a subscription model at Autodesk brought significant challenges, especially in sales compensation. Unlike the past transactional approach, the new model focuses on renewals, upsells, and expansions, requiring a different perspective on sales incentive compensation. This transition underscored the need for Sales Performance Management (SPM) over Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), enabling predictive modeling, scenario analysis, and a deeper understanding of sales data.
