Martin Wilson from Appear presented MobiCloud at the COMIT Mobile IT Conference at the Institute of Physics in London on
7th November to an audience of around 100 delegates. The guests included
representatives from software companies, integrators, government bodies and
engineering organisations focused on the use of mobile technology in the
construction industry.
Aside from Martin's update on MobiCloud and the applications
that would comprise the Enterprise Appstore for Construction, other keynote presentations were delivered from Cross Rail (who are using mobile to
improve the efficiency of their ambitious project to build a major rail link
across London), Costain (using Building Information Modelling in their operations)
and the UK government - on the implementation of BIM in a number of UK

The content of the keynotes and speeches which included
device evolution, new technology and working practices confirmed that
MobiCloud's approach of using cloud, cross platform and context would be key to the future success of construction at implementing mobile technologies for the workforce.
