Service organisations increase spend on specialist software to improve efficiencies

23 June 2009

The pressure on the service sector to return major efficiencies is driving an increase in sales of Field Service software according to IRIS, the largest privately owned business software house in the UK. 

The IRIS Field Service Solutions division is on track to become one of the group’s leading performers with year-end results showing 13% revenue growth over the same period last year. 

The company’s reputation for developing specialist systems that return fast ROI is helping to secure significant new business according to Iain MacLachlan, Managing Director of IRIS Field Service Solutions. He said: “Service organisations are currently under huge pressure to deliver better service to their customers and at the same time, keep costs down. However, many of the older systems are just not up to the task.

Organisations are recognising that service management systems that unite the front and back-office are one of the only ways of surviving the tough economic climate and rather than delay the investment, they are choosing to implement sooner rather than later.”

With a secure long-term financial platform, IRIS is investing in the future with a commitment to invest £20m in Research and Development across the group during 2009. This forms part of an ongoing strategy to strive for continual improvements in performance and quality and to deliver major upgrades to existing products as well as new solutions.

Major organisations such as RSA, Npower and Fuji Film use IRIS Service Management software to provide better control, visibility and flexibility which in turn, leads to better service delivery and maximised profits. As well as managing back-office functions, IRIS enables organisations to manage individual field service engineers by equipping front line operatives and engineers with the essential information needed to perform their roles efficiently.
