PS MARKET RATES STUDY
TSIA PS Market Rates Study
2011 study in progress and in quarantine until January 2012.
The TSIA PS Market Rates Study is a multi-member survey of technology professional services (TPS) billable rates. In addition to rate data across a broad range of TPS positions and levels, delivery types, and countries (see below), the study also includes the collection and analysis of company and TPS profile data, as well as rates policies. Participating member companies contribute data to the study and share in the study findings.
The result of the study is a rich understanding of common PS pricing and VSOE practices together with an unprecedented compilation of hundreds of list and realized billable rates from actual TPS organizations. Respondent anonymity—individual and company—is maintained for all participants. The identity of participating companies is not published.
Study Scope
The specific items to be captured in the survey each year are determined by TSIA Research and the study Steering Committee. The TSIA PS Market Rates Study typically includes coverage of, but is not limited to:
- Pricing policies and practices
- Six key PS delivery positions
- Three position levels
- Two rate types (list vs. realized)
- Three delivery types (local/traditional vs. offsite vs. offshore)
- 31 countries across all major global regions
Why Is This Dataset Important to You?
With this data set, you’ll have the information necessary to:
- Benchmark your current billable rate structures
- Determine where you may have room for upward movement in your list rates
- Assess your current pricing practices against industry norms
Study Deliverables
Contributing participants will be provided the following deliverables:
- Participants-only results webcast
- Data file of results (anonymous, and pending participating members’ approval)
- Participant-only copy of the presentation slide deck
- Complete study report in PowerPoint format
- Inquiry time with TSIA analysts to address specific questions about the study
