Middleware Development

Alloy Software Consulting Services has developed, in-house, an advanced, multi-threaded web crawler and data miner. This software runs as a standalone application or a Windows® service. Typical uses include mining a website into a database, extracting new information from existing data, and automating Web-based business processes - such as inventory entry.

Pricing Models

ASCS is proud to offer flexibility in services pricing. There are two models available:

- Contract Bid
This model offers simplicity and direct intellectual property ownership to the customer. A fixed or rolling bid price is agreed upon prior to development.
- Partnership (SM)
Our Partnership pricing model offers increased flexibility and lower initial cost to the customer. Development of the software begins without a significant initial bill, simply a fixed monthly rate agreed upon before development begins. Once a prototype has been delivered, the customer will receive updates, service, and support as part of the ongoing service. The Partnership pricing model helps to minimize the risk and up-front expense of software development.
