BURLINGTON, MA. January 28, 2016 – Alpha Software Corporation, accelerating how developers build and deploy mobile and web business apps, reported record demand for its Alpha Anywhere™ mobile and web application development and deployment environment in 2015.

In 2015, Alpha Software gained over 1,000 new customers in a range of industries, including financial services, construction, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, government and education. Companies who selected Alpha Anywhere for their mobile initiatives included:

"Forrester reports that the CIO who fails in mobile will lose his job.1 Gartner predicts an app explosion within enterprises2," said Alpha Software’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard Rabins. "With this landscape ahead and a record year behind us, Alpha Software is poised for serious growth with an expanding customer base, growing industry recognition, new partnerships, and a superior product for creating enterprise-level mobile and web applications. Customers need more than simple responsive web apps. They want rich mobile apps that fully support offline operation with flexible conflict resolution; offer total access to mobile hardware; and have faster, more innovative and more accurate ways to capture data for field workers." Rabins added: "As enterprises look to support 2.5 billion standing workers with new mobile devices and powerful business apps, we expect to continue this upward trajectory in 2016." 

As enterprise organizations in the system integrators and technology provider space look to speed development of secure, offline-capable mobile apps, they are turning to Alpha Software. New Alpha Software partners in Q4 included CloudMine, a major Master Data Management market leader, and four new system integrators. 

Simultaneously, Alpha Software continues to receive industry recognition, including:

• An honorable mention in the July 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms.
• Mentioned in the RMAD category of Gartner’s September 2015 IT Market Clock for Mobile App Development, 2015. "RMAD tools help accelerate and scale mobile app delivery by enabling a wider range of mobile stakeholders, such as business analysts and marketing professionals, to build apps on their own, with little to no support from IT."
• Identification in the Low Code Platforms for Database Apps category by Forrester in their January 2015 report, Vendor Landscape: The Fractured, Fertile Terrain of Low-Code Application Platforms. Forrester states: "Of the five low-code platform segments, the products focused on database apps have the greatest potential to empower nondevelopers, given appropriate tooling." Report authors Clay Richardson and John R. Rymer also cite Alpha’s mobile forms technology as being "strong."
• Recognition from Blue Hill Research Analyst, Tony Rizzo, who said in his blog: "Alpha Software may offer the very best in enterprise-grade rapid mobile app development platforms."

Always ahead of developer and end-user demand, Alpha Software released survey results in early 2016, which identified critical requirements for success in enterprise mobile app development. The full report, "Enterprise Developers Rank Critical Requirements for Success in the Coming Mobile App Explosion," is now available.
