In the past decade we have seen a whole spectrum of customer-centric businesses realize the need for better, integrated field service management tools. Whether it be for on-site maintenance, repairs, installations, or contracted services, Field Service Management solutions are used by many different industries for many different reasons.
It came as no surprise to us when it was announced that Microsoft acquired FieldOne, an industry-leading provider of field service management solutions built to integrate directly with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, on July 16, 2015. FieldOne builds an amazing product, and the acquisition displays great insight on Microsoft’s behalf.
The company's flagship product, FieldOne Sky, provides businesses with functionality like resource routing, personnel scheduling, dispatch management, inventory management and more. With seamless integration between Microsoft Dynamics CRM and FieldOne, this solution is the most complete, comprehensive Field Service Management solution on the market.
The acquisition of FieldOne complements Microsoft’s acquisition of Parature for customer service, which has since become a major component of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The new field service functionality is expected to follow suit, and at a time where an increasing number of field service companies are turning to technology to better manage their customer support.
As the Field Service market continues to shift from an older “break-fix” model to one that leverages predictive analytics in order to proactively identify and prevent problems from occurring, connected analytics and business intelligence will continue to play increasingly important roles in customer service solutions. FieldOne Sky provides rich reporting and data visualization features, making it a perfect addition to Microsoft’s line of business intelligence and analytics-oriented business solutions.
With this solution, customers gain the first comprehensive CRM fully optimized for Field Service organizations.
