Can you successfully grow your business without using a PSA?
2:55

After a lot of hard work and dedication, your MSP business is now thriving. In fact, it’s doing so well, it’s time to level up because let’s face it, very few companies are in business just to get by.

Scaling up requires resources, especially of the human variety. But technology can significantly mitigate the need for added staff—and the resulting expenses—by automating a significant chunk of the processes needed to grow your business.

If you’re not already using a PSA (Professional Services Automation) solution, it might be time to consider changing that. PSAs offer numerous benefits that can help an MSP get to the next level. Here are just a few:

Standardize Processes
A company that keeps its word is a company that will retain its customers. By standardizing your procedures using a PSA, you are better able to document problems, escalate issues and improve your service delivery—more successfully fulfilling the terms of your SLAs. This will lead to happier customers (who may feel moved to tell others).

Resource Planning
A PSA can help you manage your human resources by tracking the particular skills and availability of key employees so that you can delegate tasks more effectively. This can go a long way in avoiding those dreaded bottlenecks and subsequent customer complaints. It can also significantly minimize administrative costs.

Reports & Analysis
Poorly made decisions can totally derail forward momentum. Imagine making a major business decision only to have to backtrack because the result is not quite what you anticipated; all because it stemmed from a lack of foresight. A PSA can help you with that. It can provide valuable data that can be analyzed and utilized for sound decision-making.

Increase Profitability
Unless you’re a non-profit, you’re in it to win it, or at least to make a profit—and take your business to the next level. That’s not always easy to do. But using a PSA is like having a secret weapon. With it, you can better track expenses, maintain budgets and allocate resources. You are able to adjust as needed to ensure your reconciliation is optimized.

Geographic Freedom
Technology has made it possible to work with people from almost anywhere in the world. It also means that an MSP is no longer limited by geography when it comes to acquiring clients—or talent. Without a PSA this can be costly and time-consuming—not to mention the paperwork. And when dealing with an FSO, it can mean a severe lack of visibility. A PSA is essential in obtaining the necessary visibility. Having all elements coalesce in a single place, not only provides oversight but helps you track expenses more efficiently.
