Microsoft Dynamics Field Service : Overview

Recently, my friend Martin bought a washing machine from an online-retail website, but suddenly it broke down, so he made a service call to the call center and the support engineer reached his home and fixed his washing machine. Now he was very eager to know the whole system and process.

Nowadays, companies use field service applications to manage the problems or expectations of their customers. According to the work order, the technicians work and solve the problem. In other words, Field Service is an extension of the Service Module. It provides organizations with the tools they need to provide onsite services to their customers and manage their mobile workforce.



In the modern world, the business world is growing slowly and the new way of customer experience comes in the form of innovation. Some product business/services need to be implemented/delivered at the customer's location, for example some companies lend some products to their customers like coffee machines which require maintenance, refilling, replacement and so on. Field service helps manage remote employees, contractors or vendors.

In the Dynamics family, Field Service is an integral member of this family. It is often considered as an extension of the Services module which provides a comprehensive view of workforce management. Dynamics 365 Field Service provides organizations with the tools they need to provide onsite services to their customers and manage their mobile workforce.

Is Debt Prosperity or Trap?

 “What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?”  Adam Smith Grandfather Bhishma lay on the bed of arrows and was preaching the future king of Hastinapur about political science, economics and the duties of the king. He took a deep breath and told Yudhishthira " Fire, debt and enemies must be dealt with quickly and completely. If there is any balance left, they can continue to grow. " The future king was listening with curiosity and was eager to learn about the complete knowledge from his grandsire. Each moment was important as the sun was moving from south to north.
