Just a fewyears back, the field service technician was responsible for showing up with actualresolution a by-product of luck in many instances. The field team rarely knew whatservice part would be needed because they didn't actually know the reason an asset ora piece of equipment wasn't working at the time they were scheduled or dispatched. InIDC's recent Product Innovation and Aftermarket Services Survey, the top driver fororganization's service efforts is to improve key customer metrics like customer effort,customer retention, and customer satisfaction score (CSAT) (59.1%, n = 447). Arrivingwithin an SLA was good enough, but as the consumer world has informed the businessworld the expectation for exceptional service outcomes delivered at each interactionpoint is now the North Star.Technology advancements and automation tools have accelerated this shift, enablingservice teams to cull through volumes of data to find the right insights to make moretimely decisions. This is becoming ever more important as field service technicians andthe back-office teams that support them are the face of the brand with the customer.However, the race to excel is becoming cluttered with failed experiments and pilots formany field service organizations. The ability to move at the pace of customerexpectations has proved to be difficult as field service organizations are fearful ofmaking the wrong bets. This is where IDC believes artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled tools can help organizations move faster and find the right solutions todynamic pressing challenges. AI should augment these teams and enable them to workmore effectively, efficiently, and with the purpose of delivering enhanced experiencesto customers.Key findings include the following: Data and intelligence are vastly different aspects of the field service organization.In the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected products, assets, andequipment, the expectation has long been that field service teams will have theability to finally shift away from reactive service to more predictive resolution.
