Here’s why PSA matters to your business. In a world where remote work has become increasingly essential, it’s fortunate that most businesses have embraced the power of cloud technologies. Yet many companies still manage processes around service delivery and resource management with custom-built applications and spreadsheets. PSA offers a better way forward. From multinational professional services firms to rapidly scaling technology companies, PSA systems help organizations with services teams fill the gaps in their business processes. By connecting CRM and PSA, for example, sales and delivery teams get better visibility and alignment into project status and customer needs. In turn, this fuels higher margins, selling the correct scope, accurately setting customer expectations, and increasing customer satisfaction. With increased sales and service collaboration, clients get accurate, real-time updates about projects and are more satisfied with project outcomes. Finally, at project completion, invoices are more accurate and timely, leading to improved cash flow and lower days sales outstanding (DSO). Service Performance Insight (SPI) reports that organizations using PSA earn 12% higher EBITDA on average, versus organizations that don’t use PSA. This growth is driven in large part by significant increases in billable utilization, a direct result of the way PSA empowers organizations to maximize their time and resources. But it’s also a result of a whole cascade of benefits and efficiencies that come with connecting the front and back office.
