What You Need to Know About Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Module

Field Service is a solution that helps field service personnel and managers provide maintenance and repair services to their customers. It automates many of the tasks included in providing field service, resulting in improving the productivity of field service personnel, reducing costs, and significantly increasing customer satisfaction and retention. For a service company, this translates into a strong competitive advantage and business growth.

Field Service software is used in many industries, including manufacturing, utilities, and healthcare. Even a facilities manager responsible for HVAC maintenance can use it to their advantage.

Gartner has placed Microsoft as a Leader in their Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management. That means that you should consider Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service as your answer to your field service challenges. This overview will help you evaluate the software for this use.

It is important to note that as of June 30, 2022, Microsoft is retiring the use rights of the on-premises version of the software and the associated mobile app. Any customers using that version will need to upgrade to the cloud version before the retirement date. Use rights override licensing agreements, so even if a company has a license for the on-premises version of Field Service, when Microsoft retires the use rights, the licenses are no longer valid.
