Books24x7, a subsidiary of SkillSoft and developer of online Referenceware for IT, business, engineering, financial and government professionals, has launched "Books24x7 On the Go", a PDA-accessible Web site that provides busy professionals with complete access to Books24x7's award-winning Referenceware collections via a pocket PC, BlackBerry, cellphone or other mobile device.
Building upon existing PDF and MP3 options for offline reading and listening, Books24x7 On the Go is the newest way to addresses the content needs of today's mobile workforce, providing users with just-in-time learning and performance support.
Books24x7's Referenceware offers a revolutionary approach to problem solving and learning by providing searchable, online access to the full, unabridged contents of thousands of digitised business and technical books. Optimised for viewing on PocketPCs, BlackBerry, cellphones and other PDA devices with Internet browser capabilities, Books24x7 On the Go extends access to these valuable information assets to workers using such devices. In addition, Books24x7 On the Go provides users with the full functionality of the Books24x7 platform, including powerful search and browse capabilities and complete site and content navigation.
Finally, the site provides users with the ability to view all personal and corporate folders and add books, bookmarks and notes to existing personal folders, enabling them to organise particularly useful and relevant content.
"Today's business environment requires professionals to be constantly on the go. Yet, resources that are readily available at the office are often inaccessible from the road, making it difficult for busy mobile professionals to leverage downtime outside the offices," said John Ambrose, vice-president and general manager for Books24x7.
"Responding to this challenge, Books24x7 On the Go enables mobile workers to easily access Books24x7's vast collections of digital reference content regardless of location - whether they're at home, riding in a cab or waiting in an airport. The result is an unparalleled level of mobile access to trusted information coupled with performance support."
