Congratulations to Start Software on providing a valuable app that does much good!

We applaud Start Software for its ability to craft such a reliable and well-designed app. The app has realized incredible rates of user adoption in its market segment across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. 

We're also proud to say that this successful app runs on Alpha Anywhere. The app was able to easily scale to handle this size data set, and runs flawlessly on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

"Currently the app require a dedicated server, but we're launching a “Cloud release” that runs on Alpha Cloud later this summer," said Robin Bennett, Start Software's director and principal consultant. "We expect that to further improve scalability and performance as we continue to attract customers to the Alpha Tracker App around the world."
