1171: Digital asset management
Digital asset management is a collective term used for storing and retrieving digital data on computers and computer storage systems. Digital assets may consist of all types of digital media such as audio, video, text, multimedia etc. These assets are managed and controlled by digital asset management systems, a combination of software and hardware.
1172: RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
On the surface RFID technology looks similar to a barcode system. But in fact there is a vast difference between rfid asset tracking and other competing systems. Let us for a moment consider the entire supply chain management system of an organization. It can be divided into two parts. Supply chain pertaining to the production chain within the factory premises and the movement of products outside the organization. Among the different options, rfid asset tracking system provides maximum benefits. Within the factory premises inventory from the raw material stage can be tracked effectively with rfid asset tracking system, while the material goes into the in-process and the finished product stage. Rfid asset tracking would provide instant or real time information during the manufacturing process, which would be used by management for decision making purposes.
1173: Field service engineers
Field service engineers are the backbone of any mobile service industry. They are a sought after commodity in this market .But the job comes with its own downside. Long working hours and constant relocation from one service site to another, takes its toll on the mental and physical health of field service engineers. On the other side, great pay packets, commissions and bonus compensate for a high pressure work environment.Field service engineers have to be properly trained to perform their duties. Quality and preventive maintenance, documentation with Quality assurance, filling up of field data forms are part of the training syllabus. But more than the ability to be systematic, it is the firefighting abilities of the field service engineers that is rated highly.

A field service engineer is a sought after manpower resource in the mobile services community. With the wild spread of mobile services, almost like a virus, this breed of engineers has become imperative for maintenance and troubleshooting. Though the availability of jobs for a service engineer is plentiful, the filed job is time and travel intensive. The pressure of performing in an extremely fast paced environment means that the chances of burn out are high.

1176: Field data collection
There are thousands of applications which require field data collection. Geological surveys, mapping, oil exploration and the military are
some of the field which requires field data. Modern day applications like mobile infrastructure, fiber optic networks and telephony all require field data. Field data collection is therefore an important activity. It is also highly complex and requires several technologies and instruments.
1177: Field service manager
Coordination and management are important factors in ensuring effective maintenance and repair of mobile infrastructure. The field environment is complex with both human and material resources which need to be managed in an efficient manner. The role of a field service manager is critical for smooth operations in such places.It has been argued for long as to who makes a good field service manager? On the one hand it is argued that a qualified human resources manager is required and technology can always be handled by down the line engineers. The job of a field service manager is to manage human resources rather than technology. At the same time questions are being raised about the efficacy of such a policy. The field environment is too complex to be handled by non experts.
1178: Cave Days or King Mania
Many would like to go back in time and see what the life of the kinds was like, or maybe even be more extreme and go back to the cave days.
1179: Field Service Company
With a plethora of services providers in the market, the need for specialized field services has increased manifold. A field service company typically caters to this growing requirement. The service menu differs widely and may encompass the entire gamut of services from managing the inventory, maintaining infrastructure, providing manpower and running operations. The trend of outsourcing the operations of a mobile operator to a field service company is picking pace. This has lead to mushrooming of such services. Plain old manpower outsourcing for meeting operational requirements however remains the mainstay of a field service company. With stringent service level agreements, need for experienced field professionals are increasing.

Field engineers are employed by a wide spectrum of industries. As the
name suggests, typically these organizations would require their engineers to work in installations other than their own offices.
1182: Field force automation
Modern day operations scenario is a high pressure one. 24x7 operations coupled with stringent service level agreements and quality of service has forced organizations to look for high reliability, real time online solutions. Field force automation is a natural outcome where integrated company wide applications have resulted in higher level of availability and maintainability. The present field force automation seems to be implemented at two levels. At a basic level, handheld computers are making real time data available for centralized scheduling and workforce management. This has certainly resulted in better workforce management and work low and scheduling has been streamlined to a large extent.

1184: Field applications engineer
Commercial and business environment is complex in comparison to consumer market operations. Let me illustrate the difference with an example. If you want to purchase a pair of shoes what would you usually do? Go to the supermarket or a shoe shop and purchase it off the shelf. This is fairly simple. But if the shopkeeper insists that their shoes are compatible only with XYZ brand of sox, what would happen? Either, you would refuse to buy the item or you would shop for suitable, compatible and matching sox. Now what happens if the shoe can only be polished with a particular brand? Field applications engineers are required to fulfill such complex demands in an industrial or commercial environment. They bridge the gap between a supplier and buyer.
