Case Study 2 - Contoso
Overview. General overview
Contoso is a large international manufacturing company that has offices around the world with service and scheduling departments in each office. In addition, Contoso has sales reps throughout the world.
Contoso has main offices in North America, Europe and Asia, with global headquarters based in Redmond, Washington, USA. Each of the regional offices has their own sales and service teams.
The regional HQ locations also include sales and services leaders and executive management.
Global HQ houses company executives for various departments, including sales and service.
Office hours are from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, every day of the week except holidays, which have no work hours. This applies to all offices, using their local time zone.
Third-party contractors handle work outside of normal work hours at a higher rate.
Overview. Field Service staff
Contoso's service technicians around the world will be a combination of internal employees and third-party contractors.
- Pay type is Straight for regular work hours, and Overtime for work on holidays and after hours.
- All technicians have the capacity of handling just one job at a time, while supervisors can handle
2 jobs at a time.
Contoso's internal field service employees:
- Begin and end their workday at their home of record.
- Have a default office location / regional office.
- Are assigned to multiple territories.
All third-party contractors:
- Begin and end their workdays at their office location.
- Have a default office location / regional office.
- Are assigned to only one territory.
Dispatchers:
- Work at the Main office for their region.
- Assigned to all territories in the region.
- Have privileges to customize their Schedule Boards.
All field service technicians will utilize the Field Service mobile app.
- Contoso employees will have full field service licenses, while third-party contractors will not.
- Field Service technicians will not have access to Leads, Opportunities or other sales-specific data.
- Dispatchers can see all data for their region, though they will mostly be scheduling for only one territory.
Contoso has several classes to distinguish the capability and training level of its field technicians.
All work order bookings need to respect these classes and book resources accordingly.
Existing environment. Org structure setup
Contoso currently uses Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement for leads, opportunities, quotes and orders. There are currently 200 sales users in North America, 500 in Europe and 400 in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Contoso physical environment is structured in the following manner, with the roles noted.

Existing environment. Data management structure
Contoso's sales teams currently can only see data within their region. HQ locations for each region have visibility to data for all locations in their regions only. All of the data rolls-up to Contoso Global HQ for executive management reporting. Sales Reps who work with global accounts struggle to obtain the data they need to support their clients.
The current data access structure appears as follows:

Existing environment. Field Service structure
Contoso's field service technicians respond to all installation work orders with two human resources:
- One licensed technician (Level 3), and...
- One apprentice technician. Apprentices can be either Level 1 (new trainee) or Level 2 (halfway through training).
In many cases installation work also requires the use of specialty tools, depending on what is being installed. The current system does not have any way to track the level of skill for each resource, nor the uses for the specialty tools. This is handled as "tribal knowledge." Preventative maintenance work orders can be handled by one resource if they are a Level 2. If the resource is a Level 1, they must be accompanied by a Level 3 resource, and vice versa.
All field service technicians are required to complete OSHA training annually. In their first year of apprenticeship they must complete the full 40-hour course. In the next 2 years they must complete the 8-hour refresher course. This cycle repeats every 3 years for the duration of their employment.
In the current system, when a technician has finished with a work order, they turn in the paper copy with their notes to the dispatcher. The dispatcher then gives that information to a back-office employee, who will check the work order to ensure accuracy before creating an invoice. Contoso wishes to automate this exact process in the new system.
Existing environment. Customer base
About half of Contoso's customer base includes Not For Profit service organizations. The implications for billing are complex, so it's important that Tax Exempt Status be noted for all Accounts and flow through to all Work Orders. NFP Customers who are associated with government entities will pay for travel time: other customers will not. This information should flow from the Billing Account to all associated Service Accounts.
Most Contoso customers sign agreements for Preventative Maintenance. Contoso uses templates and incidents to ensure services standards are the same across all regions.
Preventative Maintenance agreements include monthly inspection and quarterly cleaning and inspection, with billing occurring quarterly.
Requirements. Remaining consistent
Contoso plans to keep the current data structure and extend it to the new Field Service functionality.
Field Service users will fall under the same organizational structure currently implemented for the sales staff.
- Field service technicians will only be able to see their assigned work orders and bookings.
- Dispatchers will be able to see all work orders and bookings for the region.

Case Study 4 - Contoso Ltd
Company background. General overview
Contoso Ltd. is a leading provider of technology services, with clients all around the world.
Contoso Ltd. has over 1,000 offices globally and over 10,000 employees servicing those buildings, from janitorial service people, repair technicians and new project (office setup, painting, furniture) setup resources. Each day, they dispatch these resources to work on and/or repair items in the cluster of buildings within their geographical area.
The major offices are located in North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America.

Company background. Concerns
Contoso Ltd. has several key challenges and issues in managing their day-to-day operations and facilities.
Many of their facilities have issues spanning five-to-ten days, before the proper personnel begins to work on the request. In some cases, issues within their facilities cause significant issues for the employees in the building or cause disruptions to customers. For example: An air conditioning issue causes servers to reach a critical temperature. It forces servers to shut down, and Contoso Ltd. must employ their emergency disruption plans.
Additional concerns:
1. Many different and siloed systems to manage requests, and track history and progress.
2. No concise and definitive processes to log, manage and complete requests throughout the organization.
3. No tools and technology to make technicians more effective.
4. Lack of ease for internal customers to log a request for work, provide updates and track progress.
5. The inability to monitor equipment performance and check for anomalies, and then interpret and act upon the data.
6. Lack of insight of historical details for the technicians and building management.
7. Field technicians experience issues trying to work in areas that do not have internet connectivity. Most of the requests are details within an email. As a result, they always carry paper copies of all the requests.
8. The current system lacks the ability to capture real-time data for system critical components, such as air conditioning and heating units, and energy consumption details.
9. Technicians in the field do not have standard devices. Some have iPhones and Android devices, while some use Windows-based laptops, such as the Surface Pro 7.
Field Service background and pain points
Field Service background and pain points. Scheduling and work orders challenges During several discovery sessions, key users (subject matter experts) mentioned the following areas of operation pain points.
Scheduling and work orders
- Outlook and Excel is used to schedule technicians.
- Technicians receive email appointments with the applicable details, and self-schedule work based on their availability.
- Technicians and contractors work primarily in email, and print out the work order details from the email. This has turned into a large amount of paper work orders with cryptic email notes.
- There is zero reporting or insight, and in-house technicians cannot monitor critical equipment to ensure it is working as expected.
- Since the equipment is not monitored, often the breakdown of equipment is what leads to recognition of a potential issue and the scheduling of a work request.
The implementation team recognized, during the initial implementation, that technicians need access to several custom entities. Without that visibility, the technicians will not be able to complete their work.
Field Service background and pain points. Visibility challenges
Technicians and dispatchers have either limited or zero visibility to:
- Install-base history.
- Real-time readings of equipment.
- Customer Information including detailed request information.
- Customer updates.
- Correct equipment they should be working on. Cannot search or see serial number or barcode of equipment.
There is also no ability to work offline with the data.
Field Service background and pain points. Challenges associated with the team IT staff:
- Are inexperienced when it comes to implementing and managing software implementations, and the ongoing maintenance. They quickly find themselves experiencing issues implementing changes required by the users.
- Struggle with the concept of connected field service. They do not understand the different options, benefits, or the security model.
- Need a solution that can store device data for longer time periods to perform data analysis to better predict device failures.
Technicians:
- Have issues gaining access to the mobile app and receive error messages when trying to connect.
- Cannot access the data offline.
Managers:
- Need mobile access.
- Need access to historical data.
- Need access to a broader and larger amount of data than the technicians.
Field Service background and pain points. Asset management data challenges As a large global company, Contoso Ltd.'s lack of consolidated systems, and systems that track and maintain asset history, has become a significant issue for technicians.
In addition, technicians are constantly being forced to leave in-progress low priority jobs to handle emergency issues. If Contoso Ltd. had the ability to determine when a system would experience a failure, and alert them ahead of time, many of the emergency issues could have been avoided.
This capability needs to be in the new system.
