Case Study: Motion and Control Company streamlines incentive plan analysis with Equilar IPAC

How a Global Leader in Motion and Control Technologies Uses the Incentive Plan Analytics Calculator (IPAC)

A global leader in motion and control technologies, with a $23.5B market capitalization, faced the challenge of inefficiently analyzing executive incentive plan designs. Its compensation team needed to research peers' plans manually, a time-intensive process of searching through individual proxy statements to document metrics and design elements. This inefficiency was highlighted when new directors joined the board, requiring swift analysis of compensation practices at their other companies.

To solve this, the customer implemented Equilar's Incentive Plan Analytics Calculator (IPAC). This tool provided instant, data-based analysis of peer company incentive plans, down to the individual executive level. As a result, the team saved significant time and resources, quickly uncovering key insights such as the rare use of an ESG metric by a peer. A senior compensation professional confirmed that Equilar's IPAC became a very useful and time-saving solution for their research.
