Alpha Anywhere - Constantly Evolving to Keep Up With Changes

Richard Rabins

Business is not static. It is dynamic because marketplaces are constantly changing and software needs to keep up with these changes to ensure companies can build and maintain their competitive positions.


Here-in lies one of the strengths of Alpha Anywhere which focuses on Rapid Mobile (and Web development) - without limits and which is designed to make seasoned developers much more productive and also empower less seasoned developers and "power-users" in LOB (line of business.)

Three  key ways where Alpha gives developers and companies a competitive edge in a constantly changing world are:

    • The ability to rapidly build "proof of concept" offline-capable mobile apps (as well as web apps) and then move to building  production apps quickly



    • The ability to quickly MODIFY existing apps to reflect an ever changing requirement



    • The commitment to ongoing innovation in Alpha Anywhere in order to minimize coding and to maximize productivity, while still offering flexible coding options to ensure that Alpha Anywhere never " hits the wall. "  I.E always allowing projects to  be completed because there is no risk of running out of power


To illustrate the ongoing innovations in Alpha Anywhere - this graphic below shows off Features by Version Number

The Alpha platform is the only unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct “no-code” and “low-code” components. Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Alpha TransForm), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
