Take a look at this 2 minute video to give you a quick overview of reasons why you should upgrade. Why Upgrade to Version 8 Video Windows Media Player Version (1 minute 58 seconds) Now with these Super Bundles you also have the ability to build fully functional "Hybrid" (A combination desktop and web/browser application utilizing the same database) application. What is a Hybrid application? It is really a "best of both worlds" approach to application design. You can take advantage of the full power of windows desktops coupled with the benefits of letting users work with your application from a browser in the office or from the web. Suppose you are building a database application - we'll use our product invoicing / sales / inventory application that ships with Alpha Five - Alpha Sports - as an example. The back office functions, like adding products to inventory or ordering more items from suppliers, are handled as a windows desktop networked application (see screenshot below). Desktop applications take advantage of the full power of your Windows PC - and are not limited in speed by your Internet connection. Now suppose that you have sales people (or vendors or any person you authorize) on the road. They need to check inventory levels and current pricing. Your database application is extended to the web (see screenshot below) so that they can log in from any web browser or internet terminal. This now means that your sales or service reps can log in and get real-time information on their notebook PC, their Blackberry or their iPhone - or any other web capable device. And here's the great thing. You can build both the desktop part and the web part with the same software - Alpha Five version 8, sharing the same data. Everything is integrated into an all-in-one package so you never have to worry about compatibility issues or limitations. Other examples of hybrid applications that you can build with Alpha Five v8 are: Contact management systems - school record systems - donation tracking systems - property management systems - Human resources systems - patient information systems - manufacturing systems. In these cases, your core users might use and Alpha Five desktop application and authorized employees, customers and vendors, patients, students and clients might interact with the data through their browsers.
