What is Professional Services Automation?
PSA software automates financial management, project management, and resource planning tasks, so professional services and embedded service organizations can identify and improve their business and enable an expedited and successful project delivery. PSA software is used by organizations whose profit comes from managing projects for their clients such as IT services, management consulting, advertising, and marketing agencies.
