Before AI can fix your services pricing, you have to fix your data
30-year services veteran Paul Jakaitis explains the data, taxonomy, and governance work that makes CPQ and AI worth the investment.

Services organizations often operate across two worlds. In one, sales teams are building quotes and forecasts. And in the other, delivery teams are managing projects, resources, and revenue. But too often those worlds don’t connect.
Services organizations often operate across two worlds. In one, sales teams are building quotes and forecasts. And in the other, delivery teams are managing projects, resources, and revenue. But too often those worlds don’t connect.
As a result, they’re left with disconnected systems that create manual handoffs and limited visibility into how deals actually translate into services delivery. That’s exactly what the Provus and Kantata integration is designed to solve.
By integrating Provus with Kantata SX, services organizations can connect quoting, forecasting, and project delivery into a single, continuous workflow—from the moment a deal is structured to the moment the work is delivered.
Below, we’ll walk through how the integration works and what it enables for services teams.
A deal isn’t only a number; it represents scope, resources, timelines, budgets, margins, and milestones. If that information gets lost between systems, the consequences show up quickly:
The Provus and Kantata integration ensures that the structure of the deal carries through to delivery.
Sales teams build services quotes in Provus. Those quotes flow directly into Kantata, where delivery teams can plan, staff, and execute the work with full visibility.
That means better forecasting, smoother handoffs, and more predictable services delivery.
Kantata SX helps services organizations plan ahead—giving leadership visibility into pipeline, resource demand, and future delivery needs.
Provus strengthens that visibility by ensuring the forecast is built on real deal structure, not just high-level estimates.
When deals are configured in Provus, the services scope and timelines can inform the forecasting environment in Kantata SX.
With Provus and Kantata SX connected, organizations can:
Watch how services quotes created in Provus feed into Kantata SX, giving services leaders clearer visibility into pipeline-driven demand and future delivery needs.
Provus and Kantata share a common goal: helping services organizations operate with greater clarity and predictability.
Provus focuses on how services deals are structured and quoted—ensuring complex services engagements are configured accurately.
Kantata focuses on how those engagements are planned, staffed, and delivered.
Together, they create a more complete system for services organizations:
Instead of manually transitioning work from separate systems, teams get a connected workflow from deal creation to project delivery.
The Provus and Kantata integration helps services organizations close the gap between sales and delivery. By connecting quoting, forecasting, and execution, teams gain:
For services organizations, that alignment can make the difference between reactive delivery and confident planning.

AI is restructuring how services companies operate, price, and grow. Provus CEO Stawan Kadepurkar breaks down the three fronts reshaping the services industry.
Services companies outgrow spreadsheet quoting when margins consistently leak, when sales and delivery are always out of sync, and when pricing lives in one person’s head.
