Infomill Integrates AnswersAnywhere with ServiceMax, from GE Digital, to Empower Field Service Technicians with Knowledge-as-a-Service Solution
Pleasanton, CA (PRWEB) September 21, 2017 -- Already in use by over 50,000 technicians globally, AnswersAnywhere combines people, process and technology to convert, deliver and continuously optimize the knowledge required for field service organizations to increase customer satisfaction, shorten field visits and drive efficiency, accuracy and profitability. Types of knowledge that Infomill knowledge experts convert include hard copy and PDF documents, service manuals, schematic drawings, exploded diagrams, part lists, product descriptions and alerts, database output, images and videos.
ServiceMax is a comprehensive, cloud-based, and mobile field service solution that manages the service delivery end-to-end process. By integrating AnswersAnywhere, service technicians will be provided with online and offline access to the decision-making information they need without navigating away from ServiceMax or researching solutions through hundreds or thousands of pages of documents and databases.
AnswersAnywhere is accessed via a “Find Answers” button on a ServiceMax work order. For the first time, a technician will be able to search through large and complex amounts of information to quickly find the break/fix, installation and service answers they need, as well as identify, locate and add parts to a work order.
Jonathan Skelding, VP of Global Alliances at ServiceMax, said of the partnership, “Infomill’s unique KaaS solution, AnswersAnywhere, is a valuable tool that empowers field service technicians with the critical knowledge that they have so far been lacking when onsite with a customer. By combining a number of disparate data sources into a single, normalized, interactive, mobile knowledge base, AnswersAnywhere adds important value to the ServiceMax platform. Providing service technicians with mobile access to maintenance, installation and troubleshooting knowledge means they can complete service visits faster and more profitably.”
Bo Wandell, VP of Sales and Business Strategy at Infomill, said, “A lot of field service technicians suffer from a knowledge gap when onsite with a customer. In many cases, the required knowledge is locked up in silos of disparate information sources back at headquarters. AnswersAnywhere unlocks that knowledge by delivering valuable and searchable information to the technicians’ mobile device of choice both online and offline. As a result of the integration between AnswersAnywhere and ServiceMax, technicians will have all of the information they need to improve key performance indicators such as first-time fix rates, mean time to repair, and customer satisfaction.”
Infomill will be an exhibiting sponsor at the ServiceMax Maximize event in Las Vegas, NV on September 18th – 20th, 2017 and the Field Service Fall event in Amelia Island, FL on September 25th – 27th, 2017.
