Industry analysts forecast that by the end of 2017, market demand for enterprise mobile app development services will grow at least five times faster than internal IT organizations’ capacity to deliver them.¹ Mobile app development can be a huge burden on IT teams, yet these apps are critical to an organization’s ability to remain competitive – future gains in worker productivity will stem in large part from enterprise mobility, and data analytics tied to mobile apps will enable better business decisions. Tools that can produce apps more easily and rapidly are crucial for enterprises to meet demand and remain competitive.

The EcoSys Mobile App Platform includes 3 new mobile apps, as well as an open app platform with which customers can easily configure their own mobile apps. The apps are created without any IT programming and once installed on mobile devices, will self-update automatically as new configuration is published. They offer rapid and easy deployment, reducing implementation time from months to days.

“Effective project delivery requires the coordination of complex tasks by many disciplines and stakeholders across a potentially wide geography,” said Javier Sloninsky, CEO of EcoSys. “The EcoSys mobile app platform offers organizations with a rapid path to real-time collaboration and enhanced information visibility, allowing project teams to benefit from the latest technology innovations.”

EcoSys mobile apps help break down the barriers of efficient project collaboration — whether it’s a contractor raising an issue to the project team, a construction supervisor reviewing and approving that day’s progress, a project controls analyst assessing the impact of a change, or an executive reviewing the status of their project portfolio while traveling. Disconnected processes are integrated, leading to increased productivity, better predictive analysis capabilities and faster corrective actions.

The EcoSys Mobile App Platform’s 3 Out of the Box Apps include:

Progress Reporting: Enables users torecord project progress in real-time and submit this information to supervisors for review and approval. Progress can be recorded in various methods, based on the type of work being executed. This app eliminates the need for paper-based field reporting processes and promotes improved efficiency by providing a user-friendly experience for all disciplines.
Change Management: This app allows users to easily raise project change requests as well as review and approve changes that are in their court. It provides an increased level of efficiency and visibility through the change management lifecycle, and minimizes delays inherent on projects.
Issues Tracker: This app empowers any individual to quickly and easily raise issues identified while working on a project.It enables users to report potential problems and concerns through text and/or photos, record updates, and also allows managers to review and promote submitted issues.

The EcoSys EPC Mobile App Platform is available for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.
