Alpha Software Simplifies Development of Forms-Based Mobile Apps


One of the primary things that most enterprise IT organizations are trying to do with tablets is deploy applications that eliminate paper-based processes involving forms.

To accelerate the development of such applications, Alpha Software previewed the beta release of an update to its Alpha Anywhere mobile application development and deployment environment that simplifies the development of applications based on forms that can run offline and online.

Most IT organizations are struggling with a backlog of application requests for these types of applications. While the capabilities being requested are simple enough from a business perspective, developing mobile applications that run natively on every mobile platform that supports functions such as capturing signatures is time consuming.  

Alpha anywhere solves that problem using an HTML5 construct that has been optimized to make it simpler to develop this class of applications in a way that can be deployed on any mobile computing device that supports HTML5. Using that approach makes it possible to both develop and deploy forms-based mobile apps significantly faster. Those applications can either run in the browser or on top of Phone Gap, a framework for deploying mobile applications using JavaScript and HTML5.
