Improved Service Delivery with Greater Project Visibility
Professional service organizations are faced with a chess game of moving pieces. This game involves 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 in high demand must be effectively utilized, regardless of fluctuating market conditions — 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.”
Remaining profitable requires accurate estimates of your projects and services, meeting project milestones, and ensuring deliverables meet customer needs and expectations. In short, you must maintain complete visibility throughout all phases of a project to track costs and revenue. This is where Dynamics 365 for Professional Services becomes invaluable. The solution is designed to streamline end-to-end project execution, track project progress in 100% real time, monitor and automate financials, and drive absolute efficiency through the project lifecycle.
