MobiCloud Project - free trial of Site Diary App

As you probably know COMIT are one of the partners in MobiCloud, which is an EU supported project that aims to develop a European Corporate Appstore and the technology to develop cross-platform, context-aware applications.

One of the other MobiCloud partners and a member of COMIT is Costain. Appear and Costain have worked together to develop a Site Diary app that is currently undergoing trials on a number of Costain sites.

The App is intended to replace the current paper-based recording of Engineer's site diaries. It overcomes a number of the problems that arise from manual records, including the automatic recording of GPS location and weather information as well as providing an electronic audit trail.

Costain hope that the App will improve the detail and quality of site diary entries, while at the same time reducing the time taken to record them and the overhead of managing the process - particularly that of associating supporting material, such as photographs, with recorded events.

For a limited time the Site Diary app is available on a trial basis for free to other interested parties. If you would like to see what Costain have come up with and try out the Site Diary app for yourself, then you can sign up via the MobiCloud website.
