By Ric Mims, ServiceNow Solutions Director
The landscape of energy supply-and-demand is changing, and the industry is abuzz with unprecedented possibilities. The rise of distributed and renewable energies has created a slew of new options for energy consumers and a wealth of new opportunities for providers.
Innovations are exciting when working to fulfill unmet consumer needs. They present new ways to accomplish goals, improving jobs and lives.
Mobile access to critical operational data in the field (along with data from other core enterprise applications) helps utility providers under pressure to avoid lost paperwork, improve field safety, eliminate unnecessary truck rolls, maintain an accurate equipment inventory, and accelerate asset-outage restoration. Access to data also facilitates internal communication and collaboration.
Cloud-based field service management platforms are the way of the future. The ability to coordinate efforts and manage people, processes, and technologies across information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) will separate the next generation of successful utility providers from those still running inefficiently in siloed organizations.
Enabling a strategic approach to field work and asset management supports preventative, predictive, and prescriptive maintenance practices.
