Custom database development tools
Twenty-seven years ago, two South African brothers started up a software company to help people build custom database applications quickly and easily.
Today, Alpha Software Inc. employs 100 people and is growing steadily -- even in a difficult economy.
That's because Alpha Software has an outstanding reputation that spreads beyond its customer base -- more than 1 million customers in many different industries around the world.
"We think people are looking beyond the big brand names for better rapid solutions," says Richard Rabins, co-founder and co-chairman of Alpha Software.
Flexible, easy-to-use custom database application development tools
Alpha Software's flagship product is Alpha Five, an award-winning tool for rapid application development. Alpha Five enables computer programmers and non-programmers alike to build custom database applications for their businesses or organizations.
Alpha Five users are in all kinds of companies, and in organizations that need custom databases, such as hospitals and schools.
People use Alpha Five to build a variety of custom database applications:
- Computerized incident databases for police or security systems
- Case files for attorneys' offices
- Medical record databases for hospitals
- Accident report databases for insurance companies
- Delivery checking systems for product and service companies
Alpha Software's customers are in-house software developers and professional consultants who use the tool to develop custom database applications for their own clients.
One advantage that's helped Alpha Software grow is its flexible licensing. Customers can buy Alpha Five for small groups of users, and can buy bundled licenses with added functions. It's easy to choose from among the many software options.
Alpha Software has expanded beyond selling its software, and now offers professional development services. Alpha's certified software development consultants create custom applications for all types of businesses and organizations, using Alpha's development tools.
Build custom database applications for the desktop and the web
Alpha Five tools enable companies and organizations to build both desktop and web applications. The range of applications that can be built is large, and includes database management and analysis; report writing against Excel, Access, SQL Server, Oracle and other databases, as well as Alpha Software's own built-in database; email support; and much more.
Database developers can build applications -- especially web applications -- five to 10 times more quickly using Alpha Five, compared with other tools such as PHP, JSP, ASP.net, Ruby on Rails, and Cold Fusion.
Alpha Five is just as easy for database development beginners. Novices who have no programming experience can quickly and easily define and manage databases, and create the custom applications they need.
Create database applications for the desktop and the web
Alpha Five is the leading all-in-one application development environment. Alpha Software has received the Computer Reseller News Database of the Year and PC Magazine's Editors' Choice awards for this premier product .
Alpha Five is extremely beginner friendly. Novices can quickly and easily define and manage databases creating practical and powerful applications without computer programming experience. With Alpha Five's Action Scripting, Genies and point-and-click Web Components, you can focus on building your solution, not programming details.
Professional developers like Alpha Five's ease of use and speed of development, but will also appreciate its flexibility. With the Xbasic language, you can create user defined functions and integrate external software libraries. There are literally thousands of functions included that provide building blocks to create sophisticated applications.
Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, FileMaker, PHP, ASP, JSP, Cold Fusion all have merit, but none match the power and simplicity that is the trademark of Alpha Five software. Webinar Recordings and Video tutorials highlighting new capabilities in the recently released Alpha Five version 9 are now available.
The Alpha Five Database Community
The level of community involvement is important when purchasing any software program, especially one you will use to develop web and AJAX database applications. Alpha Five has been on the market for over 20 years and has sold more then one million copies. There is a large community of active users and developers that have experience in all aspects of Alpha Five.
