(1888PressRelease) October 15, 2013 - CLEVELAND - Empower global organizations with mobile teams of all sizes to get the job done right the first time, every time, on-time, and make more meaningful connections with people along the way. This is the mission of TOA Technologies, a provider of cloud-based field service management solutions - a mission it continues to carry out successfully a decade after TOA's founding in 2003. Today, TOA Technologies has been named a "Leader" by Gartner Inc. in the Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management*, 2013.

"The TOA Technologies team takes pride in thinking differently about field service management," said Yuval Brisker, co-founder and CEO of TOA Technologies. "To us, it's more than managing field operations - it's about intelligently connecting people to helping them use their time more effectively, and in a way that makes their lives, and the lives of those around them, better. And, our approach is that field service management isn't just a software application - it's a technology and a collaborative ecosystem that must be powered by a scalable cloud, smart devices and the mobile Internet to deliver both immediate and long-term value to companies everywhere.

"We believe it is this kind of rethinking that has propelled field service management to be the dynamic and growing technology market it is today. To us, our solution expands the value proposition beyond field service management to customer service management. And because we built it natively in the cloud, it's relevant and accessible for businesses of all sizes, industries and geographies, from an energy efficiency auditor in Atlanta to a multinational telecommunications provider based in Spain. We believe it is this convergence of a compelling value proposition directly aligned with businesses' goals, and the widespread availability of enterprise technology, that has made field service management solutions more valuable and accessible now than ever for organizations worldwide.

"We are proud to have been named a 'Leader' in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management, 2013, for what we believe is the invention, innovation and execution that we have brought to this market over the course of the past decade, driving it to where it is today," said Brisker.
