operational leasing services, management consulting services, legal services, financial advisory

services, market research services, scientific research and development services.

Professional services firms are becoming more sophisticated in their use of social media for finding

and engaging clients online, marketing their services and monitoring their competitors. An enhanced

social media presence helps professional services firms to improve awareness of the firm, increase

client satisfaction and deepen client relationships.

Rapid technology change in the recent years, together with increased pressure to reduce costs and

increased use of smart phones, is likely to push the concept of virtual firms in the professional

services industry during the forecast period. More professional firms will go virtual with few if any

permanent offices. By having few permanent offices, their IT infrastructure in the cloud and the use

of freelance and contract employees will help professional firms considerably reduce their costs and

increase revenues.
