The company began to use iPadto show drawings that were previously printed on paper.

According to the technical director of the company Todd Vine, there are usually several versions of drawings on paper during construction: engineers and architects constantly make some changes. And builders have to work on the basis of papers that could already have changed, and if this happens, they have to start work anew.

To solve this problem, all employees of the company provided ipads, and plans and drawings were transferred to the cloud storage.

“Construction plans are now in the cloud, and every employee has the same, always updated version. So if an architect or engineer makes a change, it's immediately visible via the iPad in the field. We call it "One Truth." Because everyone works with the same truth,” the statement said. Rogers-o'brien.

The technical director noted that after switching to this mode of operation on each project, the company began to save 7% of the cost. Transfer paperwork to iPad Not only helped to get rid of the cost of the paper itself, but also saved the company a lot of time. Usually, employees could not carry with them all the papers because of their number, so they had to constantly return to the office, but now this need is gone.

Despite the fact that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), there is a special program for business that allows you to save on the cost of devices, the construction company just bought the tablets in the company store at full price.

"I bought them [ipads] in local Apple Store from 10 to 50 pieces at a time without any discounts or support from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. We did everything ourselves,” said Wine.

The store manager noticed the unusual interest of the man and asked why he needed so many tablets. After that, he invited Vine to conduct in-store seminars for other entrepreneurs, teaching them to use tablets in their work.

At the same time for office needs in Rogers-o'brien use computers on Windows, but the company noted that they would not use tablets from Microsoft, even if they were on sale at that time.

“IPad can last a couple of days against 8-10 hours [for tablets on Windows]. Besides, iPad cellular costs around 300 dollars against a PC with a touchscreen and LTE, which will cost thousands of dollars in 1,5 [probably Microsoft Surface Pro],” says Vine.
