Professional Services Automation Software

Tougher economic conditions within the last year have strengthened the case for the implementation of professional services automation software (PSA). For organisations to grow revenue and remain competitive they are giving increasingly more credence to how they do business, as well as where they do business. The panacea for survival is ensuring employee efficiency and project delivery through the optimisation of key business processes.

Implementing Professional Services Automation Software with Atlantic Global

By implementing a professional services automation software system an organisation can benefit from automating basic business systems such as billing, resource utilisation, project planning, expense reporting, timesheet management etc. On the surface the benefits of professional services automation software solutions are about increasing productivity and profitability within the shortest possible period of time. But the ability to achieve such benefits is ultimately derived from choosing the right professional services automation software solution that is value for money and an implementation process that is both deliverable and has minimal impact on the organisation´s day-to-day life cycle.

Choosing Professional Services Automation Software with Atlantic Global

Many enterprise applications score high in terms of functionality and sophistication but they are not necessarily reliable and user friendly nor do there high implementation and maintenance costs guarantee a fast ROI. Also according to an 2004 study by IT market analyst Conspectus research enterprise applications are becoming increasingly sophisticated, catering more for so called "power users" and less for inexperienced non technical users. This problem is compounded by the fact many professional services automation software providers fail see the simple, yet critical connection that software is a people business which means never losing sight of the human dimension.

Typically companies are faced with a range of problems when choosing and implementing a high-end, high-cost enterprise application, such as:

• Inconsistent user interfaces with confusing layouts and illogical navigation
• Weak functionality resulting in poor categorisation, incorrect use of dialogue boxes and too many windows
• Customisation overkill preventing future proofing, scalability and upgrading
• Frequent system crashes, excessive response times and high error rate
• Excessive and confusing training, resulting in high and ongoing consultancy costs
• High cost of implementation and unnecessarily long deploymenttimescales
• Inflexible proprietary software resulting in vendor dependency
