MTTR Is Not a Time Problem. It Is a Context Problem

Sep 30, 2026 By iOPEX Technologies , In iOPEX
Your Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) has likely stayed flat for three or four quarters. The investment was real: scheduling tools, dispatch optimization, new training modules, and more technicians. Operations reviews still dissect response time, travel time, and wrench time. The metric still refuses to move. Most field service leaders measure MTTR from the start of the repair to the moment the asset returns to service.

Sep 29, 2026 By iOPEX Technologies , In iOPEX
When profits miss plan, marketing is the budget line most likely to be cut. The CMO Survey found that marketing expenses are cut 45.4% of the time in that scenario, more often than any other expense category. Most marketing teams have more data than ever. Finance still discounts much of it, because few of those numbers connect spend to business outcomes. The pressure is structural.

The Customer Left Months Ago. Renewal Data of Technology Distribution Channels Just Haven't Caught Up.

Sep 4, 2026 By iOPEX Technologies , In iOPEX
Most technology distribution leaders can show stable renewal performance. That number rarely tells the full retention story.

The Most Expensive Service Call Is the Second One, Yet Most Field Service Organizations Normalize It

Aug 18, 2026 By iOPEX Technologies , In iOPEX
A second service call rarely looks like a strategic failure on a dashboard. It appears as another work order, another technician assignment, or another customer follow-up. That accounting view makes repeat visits look operationally normal, even when they are financially destructive. The first visit carries the visible cost of dispatch, labor, travel time, and parts handling. The second visit carries all of that again, plus customer downtime, SLA pressure, escalation risk, and lost technician capacity.

What It Takes to Scale Enterprise AI: 5 Questions from ServiceNow and iOPEX

Jul 29, 2026 By Kedar Kulkarni , In iOPEX
Ask most enterprises why their AI program hasn't moved past pilots, and you'll get an answer about the model. It's not accurate enough, not fast enough, not cheap enough yet. Srikanth Akkiraju, who has run transformation at Philips and now at ServiceNow, doesn't buy it. In a recent fireside conversation with iOPEX, he made the case that the model was never the problem. The problem is that most enterprises haven't decided what they actually want AI to change. Five questions came out of that conversation.

The Two-Clock Trap: A CRO's Diagnosis of Why Enterprise AI Fails at the Sourcing Table

Jul 20, 2026 By Dharmesh Mistry , Chief Revenue Officer In iOPEX
Every AI engagement runs on two clocks, and they no longer agree. The first is the intelligence clock, and it runs fast. The world it keeps time with re-renders every quarter. Models improve, inference costs fall, automation tightens, and the cost of producing a unit of work keeps dropping. This is the clock an enterprise believes it is buying when it invests in AI. The second is the contract clock, and it stopped years ago.
