4 Disruptors To Your Workers' Environment

By Charlie Neagoy, VP Business Development at Librestream Technologies

Over the past few months, Librestream attended many events in industries including aviation, energy, manufacturing and general field service.

One of the most talked about topics was the changing role and expectations of the field worker. These critical team members, who were often last to get a smartphone, are now armed with new digital tools to improve the way they work. A lot of what we heard from field workers and leadership teams was on the changing expectations of these workers.

I compiled a short list of the top four disruptors influencing workers’ expectations and the commitment by enterprises to invest in these workers.

1. Augmented and Virtual Reality
   An explosion of interest in AR/VR technology on the consumer side has enterprises looking at their processes to see how to improve using this technology. Most of the workforce has experience with AR/VR at home or have heard the buzz.
   
   Wearables and smartglassses are paving the way for immersive hands-free experiences, but mobile devices are in this AR game too. In this blog by Engadget, they talk about how the hardware has a long way to go compared to the software. Finding a solution that offers an augmented experience that integrates with wearables or mobile devices is a necessity for enterprises to truly digitize their worker’s day.
