Bruner/Cott Design Technology Manager Lyle Lemon said, "One of our project managers just came back from a field trip to our Vanderbilt University project. She took her iPad with the mobile apps to try out, and loved them. She said having up-to-date plans while walking around was extremely helpful. She used the Field Notes app to capture ideas and action items, supplemented by photos she took at the site. A great success!"
Lincoln Builders President Clint Graham said he high-fived Information Technology Director Dan Morrow when a Plans app message told them a revised sheet had loaded to their iPad® tablet. "This is awesome!," Graham said.
