ServicePower Releases Version 6.1



New version includes full support for SQL-Server and improved reporting functionality

Annapolis, MD, June 28, 2005 -- ServicePower, a global developer and supplier of workforce optimization software for the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) market, today announced the release and availability of SERVICEPower version 6.1. SERVICEPower is a powerful workforce optimization solution that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of field service operations. It allows organizations to plan, schedule, and manage the on-time arrival of service technicians at a customer site. In addition, it provides business analytics, geographic workforce planning, and wireless communication capabilities.

The latest version of SERVICEPower provides full support for SQL-Server as well as continued support for Oracle RDBMS. It also offers continuing support on both Windows and UNIX operating systems. The already excellent scheduling quality of SERVICEPower has been further enhanced for both service level agreement (SLA) and maintenance service operations. The ability to distinguish between the contractual entitlement (service hours) and the opening hours of the customer premises (access hours) ensures that SERVICEPower provides sophisticated scheduling support to both styles of operation. Also, the maintenance scheduling (announced in version 5.3) has been brought into the version 6 platform, thus providing full support for flexible 24x7 service operations, whether appointments, SLA, or periodic/unplanned maintenance work. Finally, enhancements to the Gantt functionality provide usability gains, such as real-time re-ordering of the display to compare schedules, improved reporting, and user configurability of displayed data.

"In line with existing and prospective customer requirements, the SERVICEPower product has been enhanced to deliver high quality work schedules for field service technicians on a broader platform base," said Paul Oliver, VP of operations for ServicePower. "Also, the Gantt module, which provides a real-time window into the schedules created by the application, has been enhanced to provide improved support for exception management."
