Recently, we announced an enhancement to our TailorFitTM Solutions. Specifically, by combining our popular Electronic Forms and Telemetry/SCADA services, we’re now able to provide technicians with real-time operating status of remotely located equipment under their care while operating in some of the roughest terrain imaginable.
For years now, we have been providing remote field solutions for Work Order Automation using both our Electronic Forms and Telemetry/SCADA services, with each typically using separate satellite networks. For this new solution, we combined the services and separate satellite network data into a single powerful application. Field technicians are now equipped to keep a watchful eye on remotely located units they are responsible for, with the clear benefit of detecting early warning signs of failure and avoiding costly machine downtime. Better yet, they are now empowered to make better decisions about repairs ahead of even showing up.
Why is this important? It goes to an underlying Skymira philosophy that when data from multiple remote information solutions is combined, it produces exponential benefits for our clients. Time and again we have seen that the clients deploying individual point solutions typically achieve lower returns than their counterparts who have deployed multiple solutions and have tied the data together to solve big challenges.
That’s why we’ve always employed a comprehensive approach to understanding each client’s needs and details of how they operate. This assures that clients are presented with a complete view of all areas within the business where access to remote information will drive increased returns. While most companies will initially implement one or two high return applications, Skymira has observed that companies continuing beyond this initial set of applications realize exponential benefits. Chiefly driven by the increased reporting made available, new combinations of data can be used to solve increasingly complex challenges, unlocking value often hidden within a company’s existing processes.
Bottom-line -- more is better when it comes to gathering critical remote data. At least if you want to solve the really valuable challenges.
