Developers looking for an alternative to Microsoft Access so they can bring their databases on line now have an ideal solution.

Alpha Anywhere is a low-code app development platform that offers full stack capabilities for building web and mobile database applications. It's ideal for migrating your Microsoft Access applications to web and mobile devices.

Many business database applications have been built using Microsoft Access. In today's mobile age, however, Access developers are discovering that the Microsoft tool is incapable of building mobile and web apps. Alpha Anywhere can extend your Access applications.
