Paul Edwards, Director Field Engineering & Operations at Virgin Media O2, said: “After a rigorous selection process, we chose Zinier as our field service management (FSM) partner for two reasons. Firstly, Zinier stood out for having a fresh approach and modern platform that would allow Virgin Media O2 to embrace the challenge of resource scheduling and dispatching whilst also supporting the future needs of the business.
“Secondly we knew it would be essential to partner with a company that not only had a superior technology, but also employed an agile, iterative, and collaborative approach in working with us as we automate our various field operations.”
Mr. Edwards added that “Broadband has become an essential element of both our personal and professional lives, and the goal of world-class field service organizations is to ensure that it’s up and running 24/7. Your goal should be for your field service operation to be something that your customers are barely even aware of. We appreciate the thoughtful design, engineering, and delivery services that go into Zinier’s products to help make our field service operation as invisible as possible.”
