Corrigo’s Fall ’06 Release Connects the Service Management Chain

Facilities, property and service managers are linked to improve service quality and profitability

Release Date:

Wilsonville, OR—October 17, 2006— Corrigo, Inc. today announced the 12th generation of its leading on-demand service management software--the industry’s first to provide best-of-breed function for all organizations that participate in equipment and building service and repair.  This release provides all the tools needed to connect the asset/building owners, managers and service providers with an efficient service delivery and management process.

Field service organizations gain capabilities previously available only in expensive, highly customized, field service management software packages.  The Fall ’06 release is the first field service management solution to bring all the information required for efficient equipment service and repair directly to the service technician’s wireless device, including service history by asset, warranty status for equipment and subcomponents, flexible capture of custom data such as meter readings and equipment IDs, linked photographs and other documentation.

For facilities and property managers, the release offers new support to manage relationships with vendors of any size, increased communication of service status across internal and external teams and powerful tools to reduce the costs associated with service administration and compliance.

“This release enables a transformation in the way service providers, facilities, and property managers work together,” said Rick Michaux, president of Corrigo. “No longer restricted by systems confined to their four walls, organizations exploiting these new capabilities will rapidly achieve business benefits from increasing communication across their service chain, empowering the service tech in the field, eliminating inefficient processes, and increasing service quality and consistency.”

Highlights of the Fall ’06 release include:
