Improved Service Delivery with Greater Project Visibility

Professional services organizations are faced with a chess game of moving pieces involving planning for ongoing client demands, staffing and training new resources, and maximizing billables—all while managing and fulfilling customer expectations. Efficient staff utilization is critical to ensuring the right resources are on the right projects at the right times. Highly skilled, well-paid employees who are in high demand must be effectively utilized, regardless of market conditions that can fluctuate significantly—and sometimes, overnight.

“79 percent of the best-in-class professional services firms had the capability to allocate resources during the proposal phase, ensuring that required resources will be available throughout the project.”
