What Does PSA Mean in Business?
Professional Services Automation, or PSA, involves automating, managing, and optimizing core business processes through a software system or application. PSA software not only helps project teams complete tasks in a more organized and timely manner, but it also helps integrate planning, project management, resource management, and project accounting in one place to maximize investments for service organizations.

- Optimize use of resources by allocating resources according to project needs, tracking spending and use habits, and dedicating funds to specific business units
- Use data-driven analytics and insights to improve productivity and engagement for employees
- Leverage a bird’s-eye view of business operations to optimize individual-level projects, manage multiple projects at once, and fill staffing needs more efficiently
- Improve project delivery timelines, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction
- Integrate with internal modules and applications and external billing systems to improve visibility and connectivity across the board
