BURLINGTON, Massachusetts and MOSCOW, March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
MAYKOR [http://www.maykor.com ], the leading Russian provider of IT and business
process outsourcing, is now providing managed dispatch and scheduling services to its
customers using scheduling and mobility solutions from ClickSoftware Technologies
[http://www.clicksoftware.com ] Ltd. (NasdaqGS: CKSW), the leading provider of mobile
workforce management solutions for the service industry. In addition, the outsourcing

MAYKOR's new service offering is designed for large, geographically diverse customers
with large numbers of mobile field workers in industries including IT, and maintenance and
supply providers. Using ClickSoftware's solutions to prioritize and optimize the schedule,
while enabling real-time communications between workers and the back office, MAYKOR's
offering ensures the right field specialist with the right equipment is dispatched to the
most appropriate job in the most optimized way. Customers using the managed service will
benefit by: increasing employee productivity, increasing the number of jobs completed per
day, reducing repeat visits, and having a more streamlined workflow and better document
management.
"The reputation of our business is based on the speed and efficiency of services
provided," said Sergey Sulgin, President of MAYKOR. "Given our many years of successful
experience in organizing and managing service activities across Russia, ClickSoftware has
enabled us to provide the best service to help our customers optimize field service
processes as much as possible, which ultimately improves the long-term operating
efficiency through the use of analytics and reports."
The ClickSoftware powered mobile field engineer management solution will allow more
requests, and more jobs to be fulfilled daily. In addition, mobile staff and managers will
have access to information via mobile devices online or offline. This will optimize the
workflow of employees who will be able to communicate easily with each other and with the
back-office systems.

differentiator. ClickSoftware is able to create streamlined and more efficient operations
in Russia and all over the globe, enabling businesses to successfully address the
challenges of delivering great service while maintaining profitability," said Dr. Moshe
BenBassat, Founder and CEO of ClickSoftware. "We are proud to work with MAYKOR to ensure
that the proper systems and processes for their customers are in place to support mobile
workers in the field and give managers the visibility needed to monitor essential
performance and metrics."
Furthermore, MAYKOR uses the ClickSoftware to manage its own service engineers
throughout Russia. The system provides transparency and optimization of the entire process
from work scheduling to reflection of actual results of the work performance. Automatic
scheduling capabilities allow dispatchers to obtain an optimal schedule of work taking
into account such factors as the current location of the engineers and addresses of
service provision, skills and qualifications required to perform the work, man-loading,
etc. Along with the use of the mobile ClickSoftware solution by the engineers, it was
possible not only to increase the utilization of engineers' working time, but also to
achieve maximum efficiency and compliance with the SLA levels with customers when
performing both scheduled and emergency operations.
