SPS

SPA provides software development productivity services. That is the short version of SPS. In practice that means managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. They also list Predictive Analytics, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a mid-sized team, 51 to 200 people, which usually shapes who they work with.

SPS is based in Rockville, Maryland and around since 1993. More on spsnet.com.

Our checklist for this category: response SLAs, onboarding, and what is billed per hour. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with SPS, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
