It's used by some of the world's leading, innovative service providers -- including telecommunications, cable and utility companies -- to synchronize call centre and field service operations, help reduce service delivery costs and meet or exceed customer service delivery expectations.

The IM2005 Awards program, now in its tenth year, is one of the premier European awards of excellence and innovation in the management of business information. The blue ribbon Product of the Year Award is given to the contender which, in the opinion of an independent judging panel of more than 40 leading industry observers, represents the best information management product overall. taskforce was selected from among hundreds of entries in this category from many diverse industries. The IM2005 Awards is scheduled to be presented during a ceremony on 1^st December in London.

Pol Sweeney, Chief Technology Officer of Vidus said: “We are very pleased to have been named as a finalist for this highly competitive and prestigious award. Clearly, the judges recognise the taskforce value proposition and the benefits that the field service management solution can bring to businesses such as improved customer satisfaction, increased field force productivity and reduced service delivery costs."

Vidus’ taskforce uses several forms of patented artificial-intelligence algorithms to provide an intelligent, automated field service management solution that can enable companies to deliver improved customer quality of experience, more efficiently and less expensively. By providing an up-to-the minute view across the entire field service resource network, taskforce can help meet both fixed and unplanned service commitments, creating operational efficiencies for both the service provider and its customers.

Because taskforce is highly automated, it can assist a single operations manager to handle a number of complex resources in an unpredictable field service environment. taskforce also coordinates people, skills, resources and inventory with ease, constantly optimizing for the best solution at a given time. It goes beyond human decision-making capabilities, coping with the complexity and changeability of today's fast-paced business environment.
