SAP Callidus

[AnjaniAL]

Hi SAP Community,

Over the past 5 years I have come across the term "SAP Callidus" in lot of Job Descriptions.
I believe when we say "SAP Callidus"  we are referring to a suite of products that SAP acquired from Callidus Cloud.
Like Callidus TrueComp/CallidusCloud Commissions now known as SAP Commissions
Callidus TrueProducer/CallidusCloud Producer Pro now know as SAP Agent Lifecycle Management
Callidus CPQ now know as SAP CPQ
Callidus Territory and Quota now known as SAP Territory and Quota
Litmos later SAP Litmos (now not a part of SAP)

Is the above the correct understanding or are we referring to a single product as "SAP Callidus".
Some call now SAP Commissions as SAP Callidus 

I basically want to understand if SAP Callidus is used to refer a single product or suite of products.

Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect.

Your understanding is mostly correct! "SAP Callidus" is not a single product but rather a suite of products that SAP acquired from CallidusCloud in 2018.

Clarification on Terminology:

1. SAP Callidus = SAP Sales Performance Management (SPM) Suite

   • When people say "SAP Callidus", they usually mean the entire suite of sales performance and incentive management solutions that came from CallidusCloud.
   • However, some people incorrectly use "SAP Callidus" specifically to refer to SAP Commissions, since that is the most widely used product.

2. Product Name Mapping (Before & After SAP Acquisition):

   CallidusCloud Product (Before SAP)                                      SAP Rebranded Name (After Acquisition)

   Callidus TrueComp / CallidusCloud Commissions	SAP Commissions
   Callidus TrueProducer / CallidusCloud Producer Pro	SAP Agent Lifecycle Management (SAP ALM)
   Callidus CPQ	SAP CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote)
   Callidus Territory and Quota	SAP Territory and Quota
   Callidus Litmos (LMS)	SAP Litmos (Later sold off, no longer part of SAP)

3. SAP’s Official Position:

   • SAP does not use the name "SAP Callidus" officially anymore.
   • They refer to it as SAP Sales Cloud or SAP Sales Performance Management (SPM).
   • However, many professionals in the industry still say "SAP Callidus" when they mean SAP Commissions.

Final Answer:

• "SAP Callidus" originally referred to a suite of products from CallidusCloud.
• Some people now incorrectly use it to refer only to SAP Commissions.
• SAP officially refers to these products under SAP Sales Performance Management (SPM).

Thank you, Kameshwar Nukala, for clearing up the confusion.
I will make sure to use the official product names and inform my fellow consultant colleagues as well.
I was always concerned about these terms when I used to attend interviews, so I just wanted to confirm if my understanding was correct.
