SkyOp LLC Launches Enterprise Drone Consultancy Providing Comprehensive Guidance for Corporations Seeking to Deploy UAV Technology

7/29/2020

 
Alongside the new consultancy, SkyOp has developed no-cost assessment tools to help enterprise
corporations identify the competitive advantages drones provide, and has expanded its proprietary cloudbased “Ultimate Drone Reference Guide” to facilitate drone application ideation.


SkyOp LLC, a leader in the training and deployment of drone technology, announced that it has launched a new consultancy division for enterprise-level corporations seeking to realize the advantages drone technology can deliver for large-scale businesses.
Through its commercial UAV training division and its work implementing educational curricula in high schools and colleges, SkyOp has helped numerous clients navigate the intricacies of creating and scaling complex drone programs. With the launch of its Enterprise Drone Consultancy, SkyOp is meeting the growing demand from businesses seeking to develop and deploy UAV technology for its inherent competitive advantages and impactful results to worker safety.

To help guide executives through the application of drone technology for their unique needs, SkyOp has created a series of free assessment tools from which its program specialists will develop a customized implementation strategy. To access the no-cost assessment tools, interested enterprise corporations can visit: https://www.skyop.com/create-a-drone-program/

Leveraging its years of expertise, SkyOp is able to help enterprise corporations evaluate drone applications,
establish the necessary internal compliance and policy procedures, and maximize the competitive advantage UAVs can deliver. As enterprise corporations seek to limit personal interactions throughout their operations due to the Covid-19 outbreak, drones can help reduce risk, lower costs, improve operational efficiency and productivity, and even open entirely new revenue streams for a business. Yet, many corporate decision makers need assistance in determining exactly how drones can impact their business, how to go about building or scaling a program, and above all, how to deliver consistent return on their drone investment.

Proprietary Cloud-Based Guide Tools
SkyOp’s “Ultimate Drone Reference Guide,” which initially served as the delivery platform for its interactive
educational curricula, has evolved into a one-of-a-kind tool that enables SkyOp specialists to lead enterprise corporations through the complex process of realizing the benefits of aerial drones for its own unique business model. From initial drone application ideation, to development of corporate procedures consistent with local, state and federal regulations, to creation of internal pilot training and data analysis capabilities, this proprietary cloud-based platform represents a one-of-a-kind collection of industry expertise.

“SkyOp can help corporations eliminate the guessing game when it comes to evaluating the business
impacts of a drone program,” said Brian Pitre, SkyOp LLC’s Founder and Chairman of the Board. “More often than not, the idea for an enterprise-wide program starts with an engineer or industrial inspection specialist that sees the value of UAVs, but needs some expertise to back up their pitch to the C-suite. Our assessment tools and the initial insights our specialists can provide at no-cost will be invaluable to those that see the inherent competitive advantage that drones can bring to their respective fields.”

Overcoming the Covid-19 World
SkyOp is also rapidly expanding its Virtual Drone Flight Training capabilities to accommodate the unique
demands being foisted upon the industry by the current Covid-induced travel and social distancing
restrictions. These new capabilities will not only enable its individual pilot instruction and institutional
educational curricula clients to seamlessly progress student learning, but ensure enterprise clients are still
able to develop and deploy drones regardless of the public health restrictions on in-person instruction.

“In this time when it’s advisable to ensure social distancing we’ve designed an effective alternative to face-to-face instruction using distance learning tools for our clients and partners,” said Pitre. “While we routinely support our institutional educators and corporate drone trainers remotely, we are continuing to meet the evolving demands of this pandemic by reinventing the way in which we deliver some of our lessons. Our robust Virtual Drone Flight Training capability will enable SkyOp to continue our rigorous curricula unimpeded, regardless of the restrictions that may emerge in the future.”

Competitive Advantages of Drones
The FAA forecasts that there will be close to one million commercial drones operating in the U.S. alone by
2023.1 Generally, the public is familiar with UAVs being deployed by the media or for public safety
applications, but some forward-looking industrial sectors have also realized great success deploying aerial
platforms. Within the energy sector, drones are inspecting power transmission lines, wind turbines, solar
panels, etc., and innovative companies in the construction sector often leverage UAV platforms for site
preparation, inspections, project monitoring, etc. Just as drone technology is able to reduce the amount of
time it takes to turn data into decisions, SkyOp is able help its enterprise clients turn UAV technology into
truly business-driving competitive advantages.

“A recent market report demonstrated that 88% of new drone users had a positive ROI in one year or less,”
said Pitre. “The key to realizing that outcome though is eliminating the bumps in the road from initial
application ideation to program deployment. Through our Enterprise Drone Consultancy, our unique
assessment tools and our cloud-based platforms, we are able to provide the necessary guidance on how to undertake the massive job of building a UAV program, enabling enterprise corporations to realize the
business impacts of drones even amid the Covid-19 restrictions.”
