Aging Mobile Infrastructure Leading to Platform Modernization for Field Service, According to VDC Research

Equipping these front-line workers with the right resources and the right insight at the right time is critical to deliver truly differentiated customer service experiences (click here for more info).
“The need for modern and sophisticated mobile solutions to efficiently support field service workers are stronger than ever,” says David Krebs, EVP of Enterprise Mobility & Connected Devices. “At the end of the day this means greater interaction with customers and visibility provided into everything from technician status to asset performance.”
Key pressure points for field service modernization include enabling better communication among field service workers, greater visibility and access into real-time information for issue resolution, and need for faster response for exceptional or unexpected events. Organizations are starting to address these pressure points by improving data integration between the field and back office systems and enabling real-time tracking of field assets while providing service technicians with work-related information in real-time. Thus, the need to leverage more modern mobile platforms to deliver these becomes heightened.
