SAN DIEGO, September 12, 2007 – The Technology Professional Services Association (TPSA) today announced new and renewing members Business Objects, Cott Systems, Dyntek, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, IBM, IKON Office Solutions, ILOG, Intervoice, Ontario Systems, Sterling Commerce, Progress Software,  SupportSoft and Teradata. 

“This continued commitment and growth in membership reaffirms TPSA’s focus on providing significant research and services to the professional services sector,” said Thomas Lah, executive director for TPSA. 

“Our Multi-Member Studies are a great example of this,” said Lah.  “Focused on the key issues facing professional services organizations, they continue to yield significant and timely data not available from any other source.”

Available exclusively to members, TPSA Multi-Member Studies provide a unique opportunity to benchmark members’ businesses on critical performance measures and at levels of detail that in many cases may have no precedent in the industry.  The ‘consortium’ model allows TPSA to keep the cost of participation well below that of traditional custom research projects, while delivering richer data sets than individual members could compile individually, thus accelerating the optimization of member PS organizations.  2007 TPSA Multi-Member Studies include the PS Market Rates Study, PS Project Performance Study, and PS Compensation Study.
