In this the first of a two-part series of extracts from a white paper published by IFS exploring the effect of Artificial Intelligence on field service operations we ask is AI set to be a help or a threat in the not too distant future? 

Martin Summerhayes takes us back to the future as he looks at field service past, present and future...

Kris Oldland, Editor-in-Chief, Field Service News hosts with Gopinathan Krishnaswami, Senior General Manager, Global Head, Infrastructure Alliances at Tata Consultancy Services as his guest as the two dive into the importance of data in field service including how much data is too much data and the importance of Machine Learning in getting actual insight out of the deluge of data you may be drowning in. 

In keeping with the 2019 modus operandi of ‘Uberize everything,’ tapping into the gig economy to overcome last-mile service  delivery challenges could be a smart move argues Kris Oldland...

A few years back Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos declared on US National TV that he would be investing in Prime Air a delivery network that would utilise drones to deliver packages to their customers.

Mark Glover takes a look to see what’s on the horizon.

With an eye to the future and a desire to push today’s technologies to their limit, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to creep into a variety of service technologies. On its surface, AI might still seem like science fiction, but the number of practical use cases will only increase over time. Are you ready to use AI to its fullest potential?

In this series, run in partnership with IFS, we will be looking to see exactly what impact AI will have on the field service sector and how your organisation can harness it. In part one of this series we looked at some of the AI basics and in part two we explored how tomorrow's advancements in AI can guide us through today's digital transformation. Now in the final part in this series we take a look to the future...
