Another Alpha Tracker order from a Perth-based asbestos consultancy

I'll post more details next week, but I've just heard that another Western Australia-based asbestos consultancy has placed an order for our asbestos software, Alpha Tracker.

Judy & Leanne are looking forward to helping another consultancy to become more productive and improve the service they deliver to their clients.

Start Software opens Jakarta office

We're really pleased to be expanding our Indonesian Alpha Anywhere software development operation with a new Jakarta-based office.

Our Indonesia-based programming staff will enjoy working from our new office space creating software for our customers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Meet the team - Judy Key

Judy heads up our Alpha Tracker operation in Adelaide servicing our asbestos consultancy clients throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Judy Key - Alpha Tracker specialist

Originally from South Africa, we first met Judy when she was working for one of our asbestos consultancy Tracker clients based in London.  When she decided to emigrate to Australia we asked her if she wanted to start our operation "down under" and we were delighted that she did.

Judy has a wonderful young family and they are all enjoying their brand new home in the South Australia countryside.  She enjoys good food (thanks to her chef husband Ed!) and the family's collection of exotic pets.

More start-up asbestos consultancies choose Alpha Tracker

Most of our new customers for our Alpha Tracker asbestos system come via recommendation which is a great way to grow a business.  Our customers are often our best sales people (and - quite rightly - our "critical friends" letting us know when things aren't as they should be!).

We've had a couple of orders in this week from start-up consultancies where the asbestos surveyors taking their first steps to build their businesses have come from organisations using Alpha Tracker already.

This is very reassuring for us as a company as many of these asbestos surveyors have experienced the software and support from our competitors and they have chosen us in preference.

Alpha Tracker asbestos software Release 26 is nearly ready

Our late-summer (is that time already?!?) release of asbestos software Alpha Tracker is nearly ready.

Alpha Tracker Release 26

This will be Release 26 of our software system aimed at environmental and asbestos consultancies, property managers and large enterprises with internal asbestos teams. Release 25 was only released in May with lots of positive feedback from customers.

Do get in touch and speak to Kim if you would like to know more about the forthcoming release and please do start thinking of ideas for Release 27!

Meet the team - Kim Evison

Kim has been a key member of the Start team for 10 years+ (it's so long, no-one is quite sure!!).  She is our technical author, lead trainer and also provides consultancy to customers looking to get more from their Alpha Tracker asbestos software.

The amazingly versatile Kim also oversees our Quality Assurance programmes including our much-treasured ISO9001 accreditation.

Alpha DevCon 2017 agenda announced

The agenda for this year's Alpha Anywhere Developer Conference ("DevCon 2017") has been announced.

We'll be there as usual and I'm part of a developer panel session to talk about how to turn Alpha Anywhere skills into a successful Alpha Anywhere-based business.

If you need support, advice, consultancy or training in Alpha Anywhere then do get in touch or come and say hello at the DevCon!
