ViryaNet Launches Performance Management Practice to Complement Its Mobile Workforce Management Solution
Guiding Service Organizations on the Path to Continuous Improvement and Success
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ViryaNet Limited (VRYAF), a leading provider of software solutions that optimize and allow for the continuous improvement of service processes for mobile workforces, announced today that it has launched the ViryaNet Performance Management practice to complement its mobile workforce management solution and advance customers’ ability to achieve their business goals.
Service organizations are under constant pressure to provide better customer service and improve efficiency. Without the visibility into performance data as the basis to conduct in-depth analysis or the tools to drive change, these service organizations find it difficult to apply corrective actions to unmet business goals or to continuously improve.
ViryaNet’s innovative approach integrates a Performance Management practice with the full lifecycle of ViryaNet G4, its mobile workforce management solution. The ViryaNet Performance Management practice consists of both a methodology and a product with hundreds of out-of-the-box key performance indicators (KPIs), charts, and dashboards. Through our Performance Management practice, we work with service organizations to translate their business goals into respective business questions and related KPIs, provide balanced views via dashboards, and align business processes and policies with those goals. Driven by data collection, analysis and visualization, we help service organizations to continuously measure results against goals, identify root causes of problems, and suggest potential corrective actions. This integrated approach ensures your mobile workforce management deployment meets your service organization’s current and future business goals in a cost-effective way.
In addition, ViryaNet helps service organizations establish or expand a Performance Management practice that promotes a performance management culture which highlights the importance of data, the ongoing effort to improve, and the involvement of all stakeholders – from managers to field technicians – in the performance management process.
“We are offering value to executives and operational managers who are concerned about improving workforce performance and customer satisfaction,” stated Debra Brucato, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives, ViryaNet, “By providing direct visibility to accurate data and monitoring the most significant KPIs, customers can empower their team and help them make better decisions.”
“To help our customers attain the maximum benefits of ViryaNet G4, we focus on an integrated approach,” said Memy Ish-Shalom, President and CEO, ViryaNet. “This approach consists of a Performance Management practice and an innovative product, so that our customers can realize ongoing business improvements …read more
