Why Legacy Comp Systems Quietly Drain Millions Every Year

No one intends to make mistakes — but legacy tools like Excel or outdated commission systems make them inevitable. Most errors come from one-off exceptions (“let’s just do this special thing once”). That ‘one-time’ change breaks a formula on a spreadsheet or leaves rogue code buried in a legacy implementation. Months later, it quietly triggers a payout mistake. Even the best analysts can’t catch every hidden error. Managing by exception guarantees costly mistakes.

And that’s the bigger picture: legacy comp systems aren’t just clunky — they’re a financial risk. Across revenue capture, commission spend, productivity, and compliance, companies are leaving tens of millions on the table every year.

That’s why we built EasyComp — to transform incentive management from reactive admin into proactive strategy.
