HORSHAM, Pennsylvania, February 23 /PRNewswire/ -- - Inspired Gaming Group plans to take full advantage of robust capabilities in Astea's latest software release.
Astea International Inc. (Nasdaq: ATEA), the leader in service lifecycle management and mobility solutions announces that Inspired Gaming Group Plc (INGG), a leading supplier of Open Server-Based Gaming (Open SBG(TM)) technology, is planning to upgrade and deploy Astea Alliance version 8.
With Astea's latest release, Inspired Gaming Group is looking to streamline and enhance business processes which they believe will result in more effective customer service and reduced maintenance costs. Astea Alliance will be deployed in both the Remote Fix and Field Service groups.
There are many capabilities which they will be leveraging with this new release. Of particular interest will be that of Inventory Management. This will give their National Service Control Center visibility of technician boot stock, thereby significantly reducing customer response and fix time whilst simultaneously maximising investment in inventory and reverse logistics. Additionally, Alliance Mobile, which leverages the latest advances in wireless and workflow technology to optimise field service processes, will help in reducing delays with new call assignments as well as providing service technicians with the information they need to do their job 'right the first time'.
