Alpha Software prides itself on enabling citizen developers and professional developers to build custom apps for web, desktop, and mobile that work online and offline.
Low-code is a visual approach to software development that empowers your employees to create desktop, mobile, and web applications. This reduces the demands on IT departments and speeds up development workflows.
Unlike traditional coding, this innovative software allows professional programmers can build applications very rapidly and often add custom code as needed. This approach encourages collaboration between non-technical teams and professional development teams to create solutions.

Digitize your paper forms without hand coding and make data collection and analysis faster.
Yes, you can create software applications with minimal coding knowledge. Employees can quickly and easily build enterprise web, mobile, or desktop applications using drag-and-drop or point-and-click components.
Read more on how you can build apps with minimal coding knowledge.Building an application typically takes from a few weeks to a couple of months. As a result, companies can build software applications six to twenty times faster than traditional development projects.
The term "low-code" was first used by research firm Forrester to describe platforms that offer rapid application development, set up and deployment.
Low-code platforms have intuitive tools that allow citizen developers and professional developers to build business apps with minimal hand-coding.
This software not only speeds up app development, but also creates an environment for maintaining, configuring, and deploying critical business applications.
"Low-code" and "no-code" are often used interchangeably. However, there are important differences between the two:
Benefits of using this innovative development software include:
Choosing an app is much easier when you have clear criteria. An important first step is to clarify what you want to accomplish.
Other important questions to ask when shopping include:
Leading solutions integrate application, infrastructure, and privacy controls to ensure that apps are protected from most web security risks and mobile threats.
Many solutions take care of the most common and serious security concerns; however, buyers beware. Always do careful research to ensure security is built-in to the platform you select. You'll need a more robust solution if you want role-based security, for example.

They are also crucial in supporting corporate digital transformation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the U.S. job market will create 316,000 new jobs for software developers, a phenomenal growth rate of 22%, or an average of about 31,000 new jobs each year.
Read more on how low-code will grow the developer job market.The market is growing and will continue to grow. According to Gartner, rapid app development/ low-code development will grow to $18.3 billion this year. Verified Market Research forecast that the market will continue to grow more than 44% every year through 2026.
In addition to low-code application platforms (LCAPs), there are intelligent business management suites, multi-experience development platforms, and others on the market.

With these cross-platform app development platforms, your employees and professional developers can build apps that work on iSO and Android simultaneously. Citizen developers can build robust apps with greater ease, giving access to third-party APIs and modules for multiple platforms.
Read more on low-code’s capacity to build cross-platform applications.Cross-platform app development tools are ideal for building customer-facing apps. This is because you can create a single interface and codebase, as well as quickly deploy your finished apps to iOS and Android devices. And to redeploy, all you have to do is simply update the codebase.
The advantage of cross-platform low-code systems is that they reduce development time because programmers don't have to learn multiple technologies to build an app, and because using a single codebase ultimately means less development work.
Read more on mobile application development.Visual software development is an intuitive way to create applications. With a visual interface, users can create applications for mobile, desktop, and the web. Plus, developers can quickly build business solutions to automate arduous tasks.
Low-code and no-code platforms use a visual interface with drag-and-drop, point-and-click components to build business applications. Because they are visual and model-driven, users can learn to build applications faster than traditional development, which requires expertise in hand-coding.
Read more on visual software development.These solutions play a central role in digital transformation by saving companies time and money on traditional development processes. The intuitive visual interface of these app development products enables employees with minimal coding experience to create almost any solution.
Read more on digital transformation.It is significantly cheaper to build applications on low-code platforms than traditional app development software, which can cost anywhere between $5,00 for a simple app to $60,000 for an enterprise app. Low-code platforms cost between $150 to $6,250 per month, with many companies offering free packages.
