Professional Services Automation Solutions

Professional services organizations (PSOs) face challenges of maintaining profitability for client services, projects, and use of people. To meet rapidly-changing customer demands, midsize organizations must continually evolve products and services. Profitability requires that projects are estimated correctly, are completed on time, and meet customer requirements.

 

Enterprise Information Systems can help you implement a  comprehensive business solution to help manage people, money, and projects more successfully.  With a solution that integrates project, resource, time, and financial management information your organization will improve profitability, efficiency, effectiveness, and customer service while adapting more quickly to changing business conditions.

The benefits of an integrated system

Whether employees are in the office or at a project site, an integrated project managment solution will help you control costs and increase revenue. Integrated applications help organizations:

Collect time and project expenses easily
•    Generate customer invoices efficiently
Forecast costs and budgets accurately
Manage contracts effectively
Measure results precisely
Assign, manage, and analyze human resources (in-house and contract)
Maintain a rich store of historical customer information

Data entered in one place can be shared across the company—helping speed operations, reduce errors, and put accurate information at the fingertips of those who need it. Equipped with these capabilities, companies can improve their cash flow and efficiency, provide more consistent service, and make more effective decisions when managing their projects.

Other benefits of an integrated project management solution include helping companies:

•    Gain visibility, insight, and control over all aspects of a project portfolio
Use familiar software such as Microsoft Office
Align project initiatives with company-wide strategic objectives
Get a clear "big picture" view of the company's overall health
Allow participation by all project stakeholders
