Case Study: Filepro Consulting achieves rapid conversion of Microsoft Access apps to mobile with Alpha Software

Filepro Consulting Uses Alpha Anywhere to Convert Existing Microsoft Access Apps to Mobile

Filepro Consulting, led by owner Keith Erdman, builds custom software for small- and medium-sized businesses and public-sector clients. Facing growing demand to move Microsoft Access–based point-of-sale and inventory systems to phones and tablets, Erdman needed a way to convert existing Access apps to mobile without rewriting everything or losing the SQL Server back-end — SharePoint proved unsuitable for the task.

Erdman chose Alpha Anywhere to rapidly create mobile apps that connect to his SQL databases; he published a 50-field mobile POS app and deployed it to tablets in ten days. The platform eliminated the need to hire extra developers, cut development and update time (often down to ten minutes), enabled offline-capable solutions, and let him both modernize legacy Access systems and build new mobile apps — helping him retain clients and grow his business.
