Providing Access to Expedition Information From Anywhere

Primavera Systems, Inc., the leading developer of enterprise and Web-based project management, control and execution software, announced the release of Primavera Expedition(R) Mobile.

This project control solution allows architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) firms to access project information anytime, anywhere through a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device running on the Palm OS(R) platform. Expedition Mobile allows remote team members to access and respond to key project information from the job site as events occur. Remote users can record deliveries, update contact information, initiate an RFI, and execute punch lists in the field with Expedition Mobile, eliminating illegible handwritten notes and reducing data entry. From the field, users can submit RFIs, automatically creating action lists to the appropriate project team member.

From a PDA device on the construction site, Expedition Mobile lets its users quickly and easily:

-- Record material tickets on the job site and synchronize to Expedition

-- Initiate RFIs from Expedition Mobile and synchronize to Expedition or Expedition Express

-- Manage Expedition Notepads and Punch Lists from the construction site

-- Access Expedition contact directory from the field Synchronize Expedition Action Lists to the PDA

-- Customize project data such as field labels and custom fields

Claudia Ledwich of H J Russell and Company says, "We need to get project information to the people in the field without re-keying the data. Expedition Mobile allows you to do just that--you can address RFIs, access contact information and capture delivery ticket information from anywhere. RFIs, punch lists and delivery ticket information can be synchronized back to Expedition. Expedition Mobile facilitates on-going communication regarding important project information to our on-site team members."

Expedition is the leading AEC project control solution. More than 100,000 users have benefited by using Expedition to improve project controls and manage change processes across multiple projects. Its capabilities include comprehensive contract management functionality, change management, multi-project analysis, as well as the ability to easily access meeting minutes, and view and log drawings. Expedition Mobile allows workers in the field to harness the power of Expedition in real-time, and is the newest addition to Primavera's Expedition suite of project control solutions.

"Unlike other mobile solutions, Expedition Mobile enables people on the job site to capture project information for multiple projects, which is ideal for large construction projects and programs," according to Primavera Systems, Inc. "With Expedition Mobile, data collection from the field is instantaneous and convenient. As wireless technology advances, so will Primavera's mobile offerings."
