FROM THE IT FORUM
The IT Forum gives AGC members an opportunity to discuss best practices and garner feedback about products and services that increase efficiencies. The following questions and answers were taken from recent forum posts.
Q: We are primarily an HCSS Software company (HeavyJob, HeavyBid and Dispatcher) and some of the supers in the field want access to HCSS without having to pull over and boot up a laptop, connect a broadband card – hoping it works in all kinds of locations – and then starting up Citrix. Are there options out there I’m not aware of?
