Nottingham, England, 19 November, 2009: 360 Scheduling, the world’s leading provider of mobile workforce scheduling, announced today that its real-time 360 Dynamic Scheduling Engine is being deployed by Enterprise, the UK support services company who operates 15,000 mobile technicians.
Enterprise is a support services company that provides infrastructure maintenance services for the public sector, the utilities industry and other large organisations. Enterprise uses its advanced IT systems to manage many tasks such as the maintenance and repair of gas and water pipes, the replacement of telecoms and power cables, the collection of refuse, the maintenance of streets and highways, the repair of social houses and commercial properties and much more to ‘maintain the infrastructure of the UK’.
“This extremely successful project with Enterprise, who we believe operate the UK’s second largest field service workforce, lies at the heart of 360’s strategy of delivering highly demanding workforce scheduling solutions to the largest field service organisations,” said Laurent Othacéhé, CEO of 360 Scheduling. “Our web-native Service Oriented Architecture system enables us to deploy our software and integrate it into our customers’ systems in a fraction of the time required by the other vendors, and our success at Enterprise vindicates our vision” continued Othacéhé.
“Enterprise’s strategy is to enable business processes with effective technology. For us, using the 360 Dynamic Scheduling Engine is a perfect example of how we are able to very quickly adopt a new technology “off-the-shelf” and immediately reap business benefits,” said Bob Johnson, Enterprise Chief Technology Officer. “The 360 Dynamic Scheduling Engine was built from the ground up to be integrated within a complete IT system in a flexible manner, instead of forcing its users to work in a specific way, as we have found to be the case in other products. In addition, its massively scalable architecture is exactly what an organisation as large as Enterprise required for its operational needs”, continued Johnson.
