Download TelDig's presentation at the recent Damage Prevention Convention!

During the recent Damage Prevention Convention, held in San Diego earlier this month, TelDig Systems delivered a presentation on the handling and the advantages of using digital sketches in the Damage Prevention process. TelDig has successfully been using digital sketches since 1994. We have found, from our customers, that they have proven to be extremely useful for reducing damages, improve the call/ticket ratio by improving the digsite screening ultimately reducing costs to One Call members.


  

Greetings!

The digging season will quickly pick up as we are in the midst of preparations to better serve our digging communities, when the time comes. We realize software is just one of the items that needs to be considered in the overall service offering you put forward to excavators and homeowners. That is why we will offer articles and opinions on other topics than software in the coming issues of this newsletter. Stay tuned...

We appreciate the time you take on this newsletter. Regardless of size, TelDig's technology can help you save money and improve operations. Partly owned by a Gas Utility, TelDig understands the business and the concerns for a safe and stable product. TelDig covers the ticket's entire cycle with feedback: from the One Call Center to the Locator in the field and back.

 

 

 

·   Implementing software...smoothly!

Implementing or changing mission critical software is a scary perspective. Some would rather keep an outdated, under-performing and limited software system than risking the change. Like any new system or process implementation, people are afraid of the unknown and how it will affect their daily tasks. It's human nature. Our current and daily ways are comfortable, however inefficient they might be. Progress is based on vision and calculated risks.

There are logical project management methods and processes that can be used to ensure a successful implementation with minimal surprises. First and foremost it requires good communication between customer and supplier. Both must be able to listen and accept to change some ways in order to reach the ultimate goal: improvements in operations and service with more profits. This newsletter's main article provides some insights.
