Webinar: The Latest in Field Service Management Tech
Field service management technologies of the past have often disappointed, resulting in high service costs, excessive warranty expenses, and dissatisfied customers.
A new wave of emerging technologies, ranging from the smart internet-connected devices to augmented reality and artificial intelligence-driven technician support systems promise to deliver a new level of field service efficiency.
In this webinar, industry analyst Joe Barkai will discuss whether these and other emerging technologies will deliver on the renewed promise, or will history repeat itself: organizations and individuals are slow to adopt promising new technologies and incorporate them efficiently into existing culture and workflow.
Joe will explain why many product organizations fail to fully exploit the power of cloud-based service technology and propose guidance for successful deployment of field service management technologies. He will discuss how using a cloud platform as a foundation will help service organizations assume a greater role not only in delivering service, but become an integral part of the product development and lifecycle management.
