Online Construction Management Software Now Vista-Ready
Assures Logs and Other Formatted Documents Will Function Correctly
| Source: Construction Communicator
FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 17, 2007 --The Construction Communicator™
(www.constructioncommunicator.com) online construction management
software is now compatible with Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 7
browser and Vista operating system.
Construction Communicator helps owners, contractors and architects manage
the construction documents that affect the day-to-day progress of the job.
Specifically, this online software helps the construction team manage
Requests for Information (RFIs), submittals, Architect's
Supplemental Instructions (ASIs), Construction Change Directives (CCDs), payment applications
and other contract administration documents.
Vista compatibility will become increasingly important as businesses
replace older equipment with newer Windows PCs, according to Richard
Sampson, president of Richard Sampson Associates, developers of
Construction Communicator.
Microsoft's new browser for Vista, Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), renders some
web pages differently than IE6 does in a Windows XP environment. Web pages
that are formatted with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and designed for IE6
can appear different in a Vista environment. This means that scrollable
tables for RFI and other logs might not function correctly unless they are
updated to be compatible with Vista's IE7 technology.
"For a time period, online web-based systems that require a browser for
viewing will need to be compatible with both IE6 and 7," said Sampson.
"Businesses will need to choose software that can function equally well in
either environment, to assure they will be able to easily communicate with
all team members, including subcontractors and consultants."

Pricing for the Construction Communicator subscription service is based on
