IT company deploys Astea solution to 400 service representatives; builds on initial rollout
Horsham, PA September 28, 2005 Information technology company MTM Technologies is expanding the rollout of a field service management solution from Astea to 20 of its locations where it will be used by nearly 400 technical service representatives, the solution provider announced this week.
Partnered with such technology providers as Cisco, Citrix, Microsoft, HP, EMC and Avaya, MTM Technologies' practice areas include access infrastructure, IP telephony, enterprise storage, security and network and systems infrastructure. Service areas include managed services, consulting, professional IT staffing and implementation.
The company's expansion of its deployment of Astea's Alliance Service Management Suite builds on the product's initial rollout program with 80 users at five locations.
"After an extensive search for a service management solution, we found that Astea's customer-centric approach was best-suited to deliver the functionality we needed on an enterprise-level scale," said Mark Oebbecke, director of managed services for MTM Technologies' Mid-Atlantic Region. "We are very pleased with the results we have achieved thus far and look forward to implementing the Astea solution throughout our organization."
Astea said Alliance enables MTM Technologies to improve field service by quickly identifying available resources and providing complete equipment history, in real time. The solution also helps the company manage contracts to prevent expirations and ensure renewals, when required, as well as improve overall efficiency by eliminating manual processes, tracking billable time and incorporating documentation capabilities for company-wide collaboration.
"MTM Technologies is a leader in its space because of its commitment to delivering best-of-breed services to its customers, a commitment which is made possible by the company's continuous improvement of their internal processes," said Debbie Geiger, vice president of marketing for Astea International. "We're very excited about this expansion; it is a true validation of the benefits our solution provides to organizations that are serious about service."
