Field Technologies Webinars
Organizations with large vehicle fleets are looking to capitalize on solutions that drive efficiency – alerting operators when vehicles require maintenance and even monitoring driver behavior. Their challenge: delivering the solution without the luxuries of time, budget and staff. The solution: a custom-built M2M app developed without the typical challenges of custom-built apps.
Learn how Axeda built a Web and smartphone fleet management app based on the requirements of a Fortune 1000 company – enabling them to focus on maintaining the reliability of their fleet and the safety of their drivers, and to schedule maintenance that avoids unnecessary downtime.
Mobile Computing: Uncompromised
"I can't read this PDA screen." "This laptop is too clunky." "I dropped my phone and it broke." In the rush to mobilize, companies can lose sight of what field workers actually need, in spite of the fact that those workers operate with little or no margin for error. When mobile workers – and their customers –make do with technology compromises, at best productivity suffers, and at worst, errors occur that can cost a company a customer.
In this webinar, Sarah Howland, Editor In Chief of Field Technologies along with LXE, VDC Research, ExtenData, and Airwatch take a look at how leading-edge companies are taking the next step in enterprise mobility by deploying technology solutions optimized for the mobile worker. By looking holistically at industrial design, ergonomics, screen size, connectivity, customized workflow, and deployment tools, we'll show how optimized technology can lead to a better customer experience.

Lost Productivity? Empower Your Service Workers With Information
Field Technicians On An Island?
You may feel connected to your employees in the field because you can reach them on a cell phone, but do they feel connected to all the resources and information they need to do their job?
Can they access the customer information and service histories, contract details, parts diagrams and technical manuals? Do they have inventory visibility (truck, warehouse, parts depots, etc.)? Can they easily order parts without manual entry that will enable them to do the job right on the first trip?
Are they able to receive real-time scheduling updates and alerts; easily capture time, expenses and customer signatures; and continue to capture data regardless of wireless coverage?
If you answered "no" to the questions above then you won't want to miss this insightful and informational webinar that can help reduce service-related costs, improve response time and, more importantly, improve first time fix rates. Join Ken Congdon, editor in chief of Integrated Solutions Magazine, Astea International, Infomill, and Motorola for an informative webinar on how the right combination of mobile technology can bring the information contained within back office systems to each and every field service worker.
