PSA security and compliance: what finance leaders should check before signing

PSA security and compliance means checking two things: that a vendor's controls are independently proven, and that your permissions keep margin data with the right people. PSA here means a professional services automation platform, which connects projects, resources and financials, not the IoT security scheme that shares the acronym. At Teamwork.com I brief agencies and research partners from the client side, and I'll take one dated, readable report over a wall of badges.

Skills in Ask AI: less prompting, more time to deliver

Skills are coming to Ask AI: saved requests you run with a single command. Type /, pick a skill, and get the status update, late-work list or timesheet check your team needs every week. No more retyping last week's prompt and tweaking it until the output looks right. Your team gets reliable answers in one step and spends its time on client delivery, not on describing it.
