Software Development

The rapidly evolving mobile marketplace presents interesting challenges as well as unique opportunities for product development. However, there are still some constraints that it shares with any software project: budget and a short window of opportunity. Alchemic has successfully leveraged these challenges into opportunities for our clients, either as a core engineering staff - or by serving as an auxiliary team that augments a client's primary engineering resource.

New Products

Studies have shown that companies who outperform their competition continue to invest in innovation even during economic downturns. However, efficiently developing new products in the mobile space requires overcoming limited commonly accepted standards, a profusion of different devices with varying capabilities, and nascent development platforms that have not fully matured. The Alchemic development team has a rich history of delivering robust solutions to clients using the latest "best-of-breed" mobile technologies in this particularly dynamic environment.

Web Development

Delivering products and services via the Mobile Web is one of the fastest-growing sectors of mobile development. Traditionally, mobile Web developers must contend with different standards including WAP, XHTML, ECMAScript (Javascript's mobile sibling), and varying levels of HTML/CSS support. However, with recent developments in handsets and mobile browser technology, the line between mobile and desktop web development is blurring. Alchemic's history is filled with examples of delivering Web solutions for both the desktop and mobile format - Alchemic helped deliver the first ECMAScript-enabled phone in North America - exemplifies our unique perspective and expertise in delivering Web services to mobile phones.

Sustainability

While new products generate additional revenue streams, established products provide "fuel" for growth. Alchemic's Sustaining service provides engineering development for existing "bread and butter" products, enabling companies to focus on innovation and extending their core area of expertise.
