FIELD OPERATION CHALLENGES IN THE TELECOMS AND DATA SERVICES INDUSTRY
The information and telecommunications technology sector is one of the fastest growing industries in the UK. This highly innovative sector makes an above-average contribution to economic growth. Whilst the past two decades have seen a merging of the telecoms sector and television providers (TV is becoming increasingly digitalised and networked due to the trend towards on-demand and streaming), niche fibre and business-only networks are growing to meet large-scale connectivity requirements. In addition to 5G mobile network upgrades and the replacement of satellites, with a lack of physical brand presence media conglomerates are increasingly looking to their field technicians to offer high quality domestic appointments to service bundled internet, voice, and TV.
Hyperoptic services are taking the place of traditional telecommunications field work (such as cables and cabinets in the road). Companies in this sector have ambitious goals to set their offer apart - offering their customers ever more individual solutions to improve business processes and enhance speed thanks to the latest technologies. Both markets are fiercely competitive, which is why excellent processes are demanded of providers and contractors. Quality, reliable on-site service plays a major role in this and can be optimised holistically via real-time appointment scheduling and and route planning.
