Why Developers & Companies are Turning to Alpha Anywhere to Build Apps

Richard Rabins

Packaged software applications serving specific requirements and markets have been around since the days of mainframes.

Over the years tens of thousands of very valuable packaged software companies have been built.

The big difference in today's world with the advent of the cloud and mobile devices is how packaged software is delivered and on what devices does the software need to run.

As is well known, the cloud (with its ability to operate anywhere in the world and scale reliably,) makes it much easier to deliver these apps in a SaaS (software as a Service) format. It should also be noted that customers now expect the applications to run on desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. The good news is that with the widespread acceptance of smartphones, the number of people who can become customers of SaaS apps is now close to 4 Billion people globally.

So then the question becomes - what is fastest and most cost effective platform for building mobile, desktop and laptop SaaS apps.

That is where www.alphasoftware.com comes in. The Alpha Anywhere platform is a leading rapid development and deployment platform for mobile and web apps. It is used by thousands of companies, is winner of InfoWorld's product of the year and is top rated on peer review sites from Capterra, Gartner, Trust Radius and others.

Alpha Anywhere is increasingly being selected for building commercial SaaS apps because of the:

  • Richness of the platform for rapid and agile mobile and web development
  • Speed & cost savings in terms of time of initial development & subsequent enhancements
  • Licensing model designed specifically for SaaS developers

Plus, the resulting SaaS apps can be hosted anywhere, including on Alpha Cloud (Alpha Cloud takes care of scaling, redundancy and overall reliability so developers can focus on building their SaaS app, not baby-sitting the deployment)
