"allocPSA is a suite of integrated applications (a Professional Services        
Automation suite) designed for services-based organisations," said              
Cybersource's CEO Con Zymaris. "allocPSA enables services organisations         
to achieve better profitability by improving staff efficiency through           
increased utilisation of productive time, better planning and integrated        
knowledge management."                                                          
                                                                                
allocPSA is a complete, organisation-wide business solution that                
integrates all practice groups and functions in a professional services         
company, into a single computer system. allocPSA consists of a set of           
tightly integrated software modules for business areas such as resource         
planning, project management, time and expenses, integration with               
existing invoicing, book-keeping and payroll systems, issue tracking,           
messages, announcements, reminders and knowledge management,                    
collaboration, services supply chain, human resources and staff skilling        
and management of cost-centres.                                                 
                                                                                
"allocPSA offers total integration between the modules, as well as an           
open architecture and integration with your existing processes and              
software," continued Zymaris. "allocPSA is an online, web-based suite,          
and as such, can be deployed to dozens of users with zero client-side           
installation, within your Local Area Network, Wide Area Network or as an        
extranet application to authorised personnel and partners, from anywhere        
on the Internet."                                                               
                                                                                
By default, allocPSA requires the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP)             
application server stack for installation, but can be reconfigured for          
use on other platforms. Cybersource also sells prebuilt allocPSA                
servers, which come with all the hardware, software, services and               
support a business needs to start using allocPSA.                               
                                                                                
"We've been building, using and refining allocPSA for many years - in           
fact, it's at the core of our own professional services business. As            
such, it has to be rock solid, feature rich and intuitive for all staff         
to use. By releasing this robust and mature product as open source              
software we are empowering the professional services industry and making        
a major business contribution to the open source community," Zymaris            
concluded.
