Introducing the Novo Insights CompTech Category Assessments: Your Shortcut to Smarter CompTech Decisions

We’re excited to announce the release of our first-ever CompTech Category Assessment reports, covering two critical technology domains: Market Management and Cycle Management. These reports are designed with one mission in mind—to make it dramatically easier for compensation professionals to evaluate and select the right technology for their teams.

You can purchase the report here.

Why We Created These Reports

As compensation professionals, we often manage recurring processes, high-impact projects, and cyclical programs, which leaves little time for strategic tech evaluation. Yet the right technology can be a game changer, improving accuracy, collaboration, speed, and overall impact.

Unfortunately, finding the right tool isn’t easy.

As practitioners ourselves, we’ve faced the same challenge: a flood of vendors, a lack of structured comparisons, and not enough time in the day to dive deep into product capabilities. That’s why we built these reports—to cut through the noise and clarify the technology selection process.

What’s Inside

Each report delivers a rich mix of market intelligence, vendor analysis, and practical planning guidance:

• Category Thesis: Why Cycle and Market Management technology matter and how they can create impact.
• Market Landscape: A curated overview of alternative solutions available today.
• Planning Considerations: Advice on budgeting, timelines, and building a business case.
• Category Capabilities: An explanation of how these technologies deliver value.
• Methodology: Our transparent evaluation and rating process.
• Key Results: Highlights of top-performing vendors and capability leaders.
• Vendor Profiles: Detailed assessments to help you understand fit, strengths, and areas to watch.

Why It Matters

With these reports, we aim to simplify the buying journey—whether you’re exploring tools for the first time or looking to refine your current stack. The assessments help you:

• See how vendors compare across key capabilities
• Understand where each provider excels (or falls short)
• Make more informed, confident decisions—faster

Conflict Free Research

Our report is unique in that is not funded by providers in any way. No sponsorships, no underwriting. Providers may choose to license our content after it is published, but we form our opinions and make our ratings without any bias. We fully disclose any commercial relationships with CompTech providers.

Designed for Practitioners, by Practitioners

This isn’t just research. It’s practical, practitioner-informed insight. We stay away from generic awards and surface-level product summaries. We are compensation people who analyzed each product through a defined capability assessment process, including full demonstrations from each participating provider. We know what it’s like to make tech decisions under pressure, with limited bandwidth. These reports are our way of lending a hand, so you can focus more on driving value, and less on vendor due diligence.
