Now construction professionals can access The Blue Book from any web-enabled wireless phone or Palm pilot and take the power of the construction industry's leading information source on the road!
The Blue Book is paving the way for the construction industry's web-to-wireless interactive applications supporting Internet-ready cell phones and wireless PDAs. "Wireless access to information is gaining acceptance in the AEC community. This access is allowing digital information to flow from the home office out to the field and back again. Things like electronic time sheets, change orders, schedules, subcontractor lists, purchase orders, punch lists etc., can be exchanged in real-time. We have seen a steady increase in wireless access to thebluebook.com as the technology gains acceptance in the field," said Mark Griswold, Director of Software Development.
Searching The Blue Book's 1,000,000 company listings is easy from a web-enabled phone. Just enter the URL: ebb.net and save it as a bookmark (your phone instructions will give the steps for your specific Internet-ready phone). Then "Go To" that ebb.net bookmark and search any of The Blue Book's regional directories by keyword or company name.
To access The Blue Book from a Palm pilot, just download the FREE Blue Book search tool from www.thebluebook.com/wireless or from the Web Clipping Applications Library at http://my.palm.com.
Since 1913, The Blue Book of Building & Construction has published the most comprehensive database of regional directories in the construction industry. With over 1,000,000 pre-qualified company listings, it is the most accurate, up-to-date source of contractors, suppliers and service providers working within the building and construction industry.
In 2002, over 600,000 copies of The Blue Book will be distributed - free of charge - to industry professionals throughout 45 major U.S. markets.
