About Start Software
Start Software is an award-winning developer and leading publisher of asbestos software, systems for the legal services industry and more.
Want to know more about asbestos software Alpha Tracker? Alpha Tracker is the most used asbestos software in the UK, Australia & New Zealand with more than 60m items of asbestos data stored.
Our legal services software Alpha Legal helps will writers, accountants, solicitors, IFAs and estate agents to communicate securely with clients. Read about developments here on the blog.
Or need help with Alpha Anywhere or Alpha Transform projects or software development? You'll find useful info here.
We've just checked the Alpha Tracker (asbestos software) monthly statistics, and it looks like June 2021 will be a record month for many asbestos consultancies.
Overall, across our entire asbestos consultancy client base, project throughput is up nearly 20% in the month.
The other trend is that more consultancies are choosing to use Alpha Tracker for air monitoring as well as asbestos reporting (eg https://blog.start-software.com/2021/06/want-to-automate-your-air.html and https://blog.start-software.com/2021/07/ayerst-environmental-complete-their.html).

The news has been full of a new cyber-security threat that has been causing havoc since the start of the month. Log4j , as it is known, is one of the worst server vulnerabilities to ever have been discovered. In fact, some experts say it is the worst. There's a really good summary of the threat here, on Wired.com: https://www.wired.com/story/log4j-log4shell/ The Log4j vulnerability gives hackers the opportunity to do virtually anything on a compromised server - from running bitcoin mining software (causing your server to run at full speed, essentially disabling all of your server running on it) to exposing user names and passwords, or even installing dreaded ransomware. The UK has been particularly hit with attacks, as this graphic shows: The UK and North America are amongst the areas seeing most hacking attempts At Start Software, we take security really seriously and we have already checked the servers which run asbestos software Alpha Tracker , leg...
