 Project Management & PSA (August 2002) Summary
The project management and professional services automation (PSA) software market is becoming increasingly crowded.
Traditional packages like Microsoft Project are taking on more enterprise-level management features, while ‘best of breed’ PSA packages are competing for the same enterprise market – and even ERP vendors have built this functionality into their software.
Clearly, the suppliers think this market space is worth fighting for. One reason may be studies from the likes of Aberdeen Group which clearly establish the ROI that can be derived from using software to automate time & expenses, billing and resource management. And Aberdeen’s David Hofferberth is one of the experts we consult on how the market is likely to pan out, in our Round Table article.
Elsewhere, Mike Hesketh examines whether frequent project failures can be traced back to faults in the software being used.
Dennis Howlett finds out what existing users make of their PSA software, while Simon Wallace stratifies the kinds of projects that can be undertaken, and the software that is appropriate for each level of project.
