Hitachi Solutions America to Showcase Cloud, Mobile Field Service Software Solutions at Field Service USA Event
IRVINE, Calif. (PRWEB) April 11, 2017 -- Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd., a leading provider of global industry solutions based on the Microsoft Cloud, is pleased to be an exhibitor at Field Service USA in Palm Springs, April 19-20, at Booth #812.
The Field Service USA event is a one-stop shop for all things service and support, featuring discussions and presentations that cover every area and pain point that impacts field service business operations. Performance workshops, evening receptions, interactive working groups, and group meet-ups also provide important networking opportunities for field service peers.
As the role of service continues to evolve to meet new customer expectations, service channels, and industry pressures, field service organizations are moving toward a connected field service model to keep pace with change. Connected field service empowers agents with a single, unified experience for delivering outstanding customer service that’s tailored to customer needs.
Nowhere is the connected field service shift more evident than in the rise and impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on field service management. IoT has facilitated the ability of field technicians to collect, receive, and transmit data in real time. Microsoft has led the charge on IoT-based field service technologies, leveraging Azure IoT and Machine Learning to deliver more targeted, actionable guidance to the workforce.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is Microsoft’s next generation of cloud-based, purpose-built business applications that break down traditional ERP and CRM silos, helping businesses to grow and evolve with industry changes. Dynamics 365 allows companies to compare, analyze, and apply IoT data gathered through various workstreams, including operations (ERP), sales, marketing, customer service, field service, and project service automation.
Hitachi Solutions America is leveraging the power and choice of the connected field service model and Microsoft technologies through its cloud-based, mobile field service solution development and deployment. Powerful mobile capabilities, advanced analytics, and ERP integration ensure service teams have the tools they need to optimize operations – both in the office and on the field using IoT and hosted in the cloud.
At Field Service USA, Hitachi Solutions America’s field service experts at Booth #812 will share how our solutions reduce response times, lower costs, and improve first-time fix ratios. In addition, on main conference day one, Hitachi Solutions America will moderate the panel discussions in Track B: Connected Products, from 2:30pm-4:20pm. Rachael Mott, Hitachi Solutions America Vice President, Field Service Solutions, will kick-off the track with an opening address.
