We are living in a world where businesses and organizations clearly understand the benefits that mobile can deliver. Custom mobile apps designed around business processes can improve productivity. The only problem is that until now it has been really difficult, time consuming and expensive for application developers to meet the fundamental requirements of enterprise mobility: Security, Offline Operation, Backend Data Integration, and a modern/responsive user experience. As a result of this the number of enterprise mobile apps that have actually been built and deployed falls far short of what companies want and need according to Gartner and IDC. There is a clear need for development tools that provide integrated solutions for enterprise mobile application requirements. This is why we built Alpha Anywhere and why we built it with core capabilities in terms of security, offline access, data integration, and user experience design. Behind the scenes we based Alpha Anywhere on an architecture that combines the back end AND front end so that it has EVERYTHING you need to get the job done! Check out the video below. While most other solutions address either the front-end OR the back-end, Alpha Anywhere combines all required client AND server development features. With Alpha Anywhere, the client is aware of the back-end and vice versa—they work in unison. Enterprise level reporting, geo-location/mapping tools, charting, scheduling, media handling (including offloading options to the cloud), Action JavaScript, Curl and .Net support, portable SQL, and responsive design are all built-in, and easily added to your apps on the fly.
