For utilities, an essential aspect for effective everyday functions is their field services strength. However, the utilities sector is marred by several setbacks today, namely an acute workforce crisis, since most of their employees are aging. Recruitment of relatively inexperienced employees may prove costly too since ensuring seamless routine functioning of utility enterprises requires the involvement of highly skilled industry veterans. While that is one side of the problems at hand, integration of cutting-edge technologies at a quick pace with traditional practices is another elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. Enterprise bosses today have realized that enhancing their field service capabilities is the best way going forward and are now seeking the expertise of leading consultant firms to mitigate traditional hurdles.The recent times have also witnessed the emergence of many vendor firms exclusively striving towards the requirements of utilities. At this juncture, our editorial board has come up with the top firms providing field service solutions across the US. We hope industry veterans and young entrepreneurs immensely benefit from this effort of ours and your pursuit to find the ideal vendor ends on a successful note.
