How do YOU do field-side mobility?

Mobile Workforce Group - Dec 1, 2018 6:03 am GMT

Looking for some real-world input on the ways other Utilities provide mobile capabilities to your field workers.

Solutions Architect, Westar Energy

Hi Kasey, Good to see you talking about the industry problem. I have been working utilities for giving a digital transformation for their field worker mobility. In the process of acting as a catalyst what we learned is that the first place where organizations are stuck is where your thread starts. There are many WFM Solutions in the market meeting different needs. for example here is...

Kasey, This topic comes up more more often than not in this industry. It will continue to be a topic for as fluid as we are in the Utility space. At PG&E, we are a mix of iOS and Rugged Windows where each device serves their purpose. We do allow BYOD, but not for field work - that is limited to just PIM data (Calendar, Email, Contact and some in-house developed Apps).

Karthink, We been looking a good mobile solution, where we can integrate our GIS and the OMS system, and the regular schedule work. Canyou contact me by email to jsanchez@ocalafl.org? Josue
