March 20196 The rush to centralize an extensive range of consumer industries has placed the field service sector as the single missing link between companies and consumers across a broad spectrum of product lines. The race between the businesses to dominate the global marketplace is being fueled by the rapid development within the field service industry, covering everything from agriculture (including both chemical products and machinery) to IT, and more.The boost to the field service initiatives is driven by redefining the use of existing sensors and controls, and the vast amounts of data that comes with it. With IoT and cloud being the key enablers for latest field service management (FSM) offerings, connected technologies are experiencing an accelerated mass adoption owing to the lower setup costs, hardware requirements, and operational costs, along with greater overall efficiency. As the use of technology further expands into homes, offices and industry verticals, the growth in the market for field service operations is expected to massive growth over the next five years. Asia Pacific (APAC) is expected to have the highest potential and growth opportunities in the field service management market, owing to the presence of a large number of small and medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the emerging countries, such as China and India. In fact, by harnessing the power of technology, connected ground forces have already started creating efficient workflows across the business, aimed at reducing communication-related issues but also lay its foundation for future projects.At this juncture, APAC CIO Outlook brings you a list of key players in the Field Services Solution space along with insightful articles from thought leaders in the industry.
