CEO Richard Rabins Opens the Conference



 



Alpha DevCon 2016 officially opened today with a Welcome from CEO Richard Rabins followed by a keynote by B2B strategist and former TechTarget editor Paul Gillin. Gillin discussed revolutionary technology, systems of intelligence, open source and standards. He talked about many technology innovations bubbling up from gaming technology and also discussed the importance of open source and standards in driving innovation.

Alpha SoftwareNext, Alpha Software CTO Dan Bricklin and Hayat Communications Group Director of Systems Integration Nikos Kazantzis showed attendees a use case for mobile optimized forms in the field -- servicing cell towers -- and how users can now quickly add some advanced data driven forms capability with the latest version of Alpha Anywhere.

One of the most insightful discussions of the morning centered on a discussion of the future of business app development during the executive panel. Mobility leaders from such organizations as MedStar Health, DAIKIN, Nestle-Purina and debated the future of mobile apps, whether IT or LOB (line of business) should take the lead, whether web or mobile apps were best suited to meet enterprise needs and more. Size of development teams, methods of deployment and how to deal with shadow IT were some of the topics debated.

How the Manufacturing Industry is Using Low-Code And No-Code Development

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.
