PSA Virtual Administration - What's Included?

Definition: Our Virtual Administration Service provides unlimited support and administration for a fixed monthly fee (pricing will depend on number of users). Ideally, clients who do not have an in-house PSA Administrator would benefit from the additional capacity of outsourcing administrative duties to our team, or leverage our expert consultants as a resource for questions and guidance.
 
Goal: This service is designed to support and manage a client’s existing PSA environment and processes, so they can grow and scale with efficiency for the long term - without having to worry about training or managing a systems expert. This service is ideal for companies on the M&A track, or larger groups where one configuration can effect many departments.
 
How To Get Started: Once you purchase an agreement with SPG, your assigned POC can start submitting requests from the agreement date onward. To get started with support questions or administrative requessts, please submit a ticket by emailing our team directly at support@sierrapacificgroup.com, or create a support ticket in your portal.

  • 72-hour response time (during business hours)
  • Ability to work 1:1 with expert consultants
  • 12 Month/Month-to-month terms (Stand-alone only)
  • Proactive weekly/bi-weekly/monthly meetings
