Meridian Project Systems Releases Prolog Pocket for Palm Handhelds A New Tool For The Mobile AEC Professional

January 22 – Meridian Project Systems (MPS) announced the availability of Prolog Pocket for Palm OS handhelds. MPS, a leading solutions provider for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, released the new software that takes advantage of the Palm computing platform to address the unique needs of the highly mobile AEC industry.

With Prolog Pocket, AEC professionals can manage and track many aspects of their jobs from the field using a handheld Palm computer, including

• each company's labor hours, work performed and equipment
• weather conditions
• notable events and visitors
• safety notices
• notices to comply
• punch lists

Prolog Pocket for Palm handhelds is an ideal management tool for superintendents, field engineers, quality inspectors, safety coordinators and architects or engineers who spend a lot of their time on the job site.

Prolog Pocket synchronizes with Prolog Manager, the AEC industry's leading project management application. By accessing the timesaving features of Prolog in the field or anywhere else the job takes them, construction professionals can be more efficient and productive. Entering field data using Prolog Pocket eliminates the need for clipboards and handwritten notes, saving time and effort.

There appears to be a trend developing here: wireless for AEC. The project sites are moving that direction, and there are already some significant channels under development for CAD and GIS applications by such heavyweights as Autodesk and Intergraph.
