Alpha now has 1.25 million customers

Alpha Software Inc., a Burlington-based software development company, said yesterday it has acquired more than 1.25 million customers for its database building and management program.

Alpha Five Version 8, the latest version of Alpha Software's database program, is the flagship program of the company. The program, which allows creation and maintenance of desktop or Web-based databases, was released in April and now has clients in 112 countries. The software also helped earn Alpha Software the 2007 Emerging Technology Award from CRN, a US computer applications publication.

"It's clear that, by significantly reducing the development and maintenance cycles for desktop and Web applications, Alpha Five Version 8 can have a material impact on an organization's bottom line and its agility overall," said Selwyn Rabins, co-chairman of Alpha Software. "We are not only making developers more productive - we're making entire organizations more productive."
