Powering workforce comms with current

Evergy is a publicly-traded, regulated utility company based in Kansas and the largest provider of energy for the state. They serve 700,000 customers and have over 6,000 employees, 55% of whom work out in the field. “Our job is to keep the lights on, so we have guys out in trucks all over our service territory who need access to information, and we didn’t have a good channel for that to be available to them,” said Jana Dawson, Director of Corporate Communications at Evergy. They relied on e-newsletters but knew people didn’t really read emails, according to the feedback that they got from field personnel.
