Mobile Distillery, which develops automatic porting and optimising software solutions for the Java mobile application industry, has opened two new offices in Montreal, Canada and Paris, France. The opening of these offices follows the investment of 2 million (1.6 million) by technology venture capital firm Viveris Management, announced in January.
The Montreal office will focus on the high number of mobile developers located in Canada and the East coast of the US. Via the Montreal office, these development teams centred particularly on the mobile gaming and entertainment industries will now have first class local support and convenient access to Mobile Distillerys development expertise.
The Paris office will serve as a new business centre for Mobile Distillerys international customers to reinforce the companys global sales and marketing activities.
Mobile Distillery was founded in 2005 to address the problems associated with device and platform fragmentation in the mobile content and enterprise markets. Its award-winning automatic porting and optimization software solution, Celsius, enables Java mobile developers to create individually optimized applications for more than 800 Java & BREW handsets from a single set of source code, in just a few clicks. By using Celsius as part of their development process, Mobile Distillery says, companies can speed up development and reduce porting time by up to 80%.
2007 saw a significant increase in the number of mobile developers and publishers choosing to work with Mobile Distillery to port their java applications, says Mobile Distillery Co-Founder and CEO, Eric Lemarchal. With todays opening of our Paris and Montreal offices we can offer even better support for developers using our Celsius solution. This is just the beginning; we expect to open further offices in the US by the end of the year to meet the demand we are seeing for Celsius from US Java and BREW developers.
