There’s an App for That

This seems to be the buzz word in most of the construction forums lately. Does anybody know a good iPad app for punch lists? Is there an app for RFI’s? Or how about this one, Is there an app for viewing construction plans? Huh?

We thought that maybe these sort of questions were just being asked by those who didn’t understand technology or were new to the construction arena, but unbelievably we are seeing real contractors talking about various “apps” at the technology venues very seriously.

In today’s world, with cloud-based project management tools that have maybe 40 or 50 times more functionality than that, you can pay less than that for an entire project management suite, than what you would pay for one “app”. You do not need “apps” when a system is designed to have mobile functionality built in such as on a PC, iPad or a cell phone. Is marketing that powerful that someone would actually pay for that?

What’s the Value of a Mobile App for Project Management?
