Replacing Disparate Field Service Software with Dovetail Mobile

Dovetail Mobile
July 5, 2016 Clarify SupportMany organizations who utilize Amdocs Clarify or Dovetail CRM also employ field based specialists to support everyone and everything from end customers, smaller satellite offices, clinics, retail store fronts, to various campuses or colleges associated with a larger, central university perhaps. They could be IT technicians, seasonal staff, lab support, just about any type of field deployed employee.When the deployment of field personnel reaches a point of needing to be managed on a sizeable scale, technology typically comes into play.
