The Professional Service Automation market is projected to be $6-$7.6 BILLION by 2017. That is a large industry – quite the expansion over the last 10 or so years. Furthermore, there are no signs of the expansion slowing down. Why?
The new economy we live in is a service economy. Services and people have become “inventory” that needs to be bought, sold, and accounted for. Currently, the largest segments of the professional services automation users are consulting, technology, and marketing firms. Naturally, these businesses fit the model. They deal with several complex projects at the same time while coordinating employees, resources, and time. So, why does this matter?
Glad you asked…
30% of these businesses have not yet considered a proper professional services automation solution, which equates to a market of approximately $2.3 billion. Meanwhile, much of the remaining 70% of these firms are not happy with their current solution. If these firms do not have a solution or are unhappy with their current one, how do you think they are currently operating? They are relying on paper, spreadsheets, home-grown databases and faulty software. Several are also on legacy systems or 100’s of other solutions since no clear market leader is evident.
Recognizing this opportunity, it was time for a trusted company to create a solution that is available, where and when customers need it with a price that is appealing to new customers. Moreover, a solution that can expand to support a growing or an established company’s needs.
