Oracle Consulting Company Adopts Alpha Anywhere for Building Apps

Richard Rabins

Chesire Technology, an Oracle Applications consulting company, saw mobile as a growing opportunity a while ago.

They started evaluating various options and selected Alpha Anywhere because:

It is a complete "end to end system" with front end (client) and back end capabilities (server) and it includes everything else needed to build web and mobile business apps - powerful database connectivity, web services support, reports, charts, GIS, e-forms, scheduling, PhoneGap integration and media handing

It is extensible and is standards based

It offers a coding optional approach which takes 5-10 less time to develop applications with compared to other approaches that are largely code oriented

It has an upcoming ability to easily and quickly build mobile business apps that can keep on working even if there is no connection

Chesire Technology has put together some demonstrations of their work shown below:

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.
