Professional services organizations targeting resource management solution investment
A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Mavenlink explores major technology trends, investment priorities and change management challenges within professional services organizations. This research uncovered that resource management is the top software category targeted by professional services for investment in 2021, ahead of other areas such as ERP, HCM and PPM. Fully one-half of professional services firms intend to deploy purpose-built resource management software for the first time, with another 17% planning to upgrade solutions already in place. This high level of purchase intent is driven by the fact that 72% of respondents say that “having a resource management and planning solution would drive material benefit for their organization.” Top among these benefits is increased customer satisfaction and revenue growth, according to Forrester Consulting.
While sophisticated resource management and planning is mission-critical for professional services success, many organizations still struggle to develop the required capabilities. The commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Mavenlink highlights that this is driven by a combination of both organizational and technology barriers, with the lack of integrated functionality and inadequate access to actionable data among the top challenges. These challenges explain the focus on resource management solution investment and the benefits of deploying solutions from vendors focused on the unique needs of professional services firms — vendors that also can bring the domain expertise required to support fundamental business process change.
Mavenlink invests to meet rapidly evolving market requirements and demand
While Mavenlink already is the top-ranked resource management solution today, the company continues to invest heavily to extend product functionality, while expanding its client success organization. Recently, the company announced powerful new functionality with Team Builder with resource recommendations, enabling skills matching and intelligent staffing in the pursuit of optimizing resourcing decisions. Mavenlink has been recognized for its ability to unify all essential functions of professional services organizations as they strive for improvements in financial, project and client results.
