Oracle Consulting Company Adopts Alpha Anywhere for Building Apps

oracle


 


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:



    1. 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

    1. It is extensible and is standards based

    1. 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

    1. 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:
