These presentations will also be supported by Gartner/Dataquest commentary and analysis on the latest trends and drivers surfacing in the PSA market.
"It is our sincere pleasure to host the first ever Gartner/Dataquest Professional Services Automation (PSA) Summit. Over the past eighteen months, PSA applications have gained a tremendous amount of traction around the world as tools designed to mitigate the risk inherent in deploying information technology based solutions either internally or externally to a client." Ted Kempf, Conference Chair, PSA Summit
Professional Services Automation (PSA) software is designed to track and allocate the major resources of services companies, namely people, intellectual capital, and time, to their output (proposals, contracts, projects, reports etc.). PSA applications provide integrated management and visibility of an entire services organization, whether it is a professional services company, a service organization or an end-user IT services division.
It is Garter’s belief that this PSA Summit will provide participants with the information and analysis required to begin evaluating this new family of applications.
