These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._ * * * ## Considerations when purchasing professional services automation software - **Standalone software vs. integrated suite:** The simplest PSA software offers timesheets, billing, and basic project management features. By contrast, more advanced (and often more expensive) systems also offer customer relationship management, capacity planning, knowledge management, and more. If your business already has a range of tools and just needs a system to manage projects, then it’s wise to pay less for fewer features. But if you’re looking for one software tool to manage the health of your whole business, consider an integrated suite of tools. - **Stage of business growth:** PSA software covers a wide range of business needs. As such, it should be one of the first few tools that your business adopts, and any vendor you choose should provide continuous customer support. * * * ## Relevant professional services automation software trends - **Move to cloud software from on-premise.** The introductory costs of cloud computing software have decreased in recent years. These lower costs have also lowered barriers to entry for small and midsize businesses that need PSA software, but couldn’t afford it in the past. Over the next few years, PSA software will move away from on-premise servers to mostly cloud-based solutions. - **PSA software growth will come from rural regions.** Advances in technology like PSA software have [lowered the total costs to start a business](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191114005440/en/Global-Professional-Services-Automation-Market-Growth-Trends) and allowed entrepreneurs to do so from anywhere. North America has historically led the world in PSA software adoption; moving forward, most future growth will come from rural areas of this market.  * * * **Sources** 1\.
