TIM Brasil Chooses TOA Technologies’ ETAdirect to Manage the Mobile Workforce of Its Wireline Broadband Service

Cleveland, OH, October 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- While in the process of launching its new wireline broadband service, TIM Brasil was looking for a solution that could accommodate an aggressive five-month deployment timeline, while staying current with its rapid growth and dynamic business requirements. TIM’s choice was TOA Technologies’ ETAdirect, the only enterprise-class, cloud-based mobile workforce management solution. TOA exceeded the launch requirements for the Live TIM service, successfully deploying ETAdirect in less than four months.

“We needed an agile field service management solution that could meet our constantly changing business requirements. Partnering with TOA Technologies, we were able to launch our Live TIM service in alignment with our company goals, helping us to be both more competitive in our market while ensuring that we can keep our customers satisfied with timely, high quality service,” said Germano Vieira, director of operations for TIM Fiber.
