This presentation details my method for selecting apps to use on construction project sites. There are four criteria to use in evaluating an app: platform, type, cost and connectivity. This presentation also describes my App-Alchemy Revolution project. A collaborative effort between best in class apps FotoIn Mobile, SmartUse and Egnyte. App-Alchemy allows users to connect best in class apps through a cloud platform. There is also a discussion about App4U. There are a few great online platforms such as Quickbase that allow users to create their own app through a drag and drop process.
