Los Angeles, Calif. -- AMULET Development Corp. is pleased to announce its selection by Spectrum Chemical for continued development and managed application services for the company’s e-commerce Web properties.

AMULET will provide Web database, e-commerce, and legacy system integration development services in connection with fulfilling new feature requirements as the company’s online business continues to grow.

AMULET’S Development Services

With the new Spectrum Chemical relationship, AMULET Development Corp. continues to strengthen its presence as a premiere back-end database and e-commerce development firm. Many companies with existing Web deployments are turning to Web application specialists such as AMULET, in order to maintain, and expand their websites. Outsourcing such services is a positive, cost-saving move in an economic downturn period. AMULET’s long history with developing and maintaining Web application software, coupled with a significant track record with back-end database and legacy systems, is a valuable technology asset as the Internet widens as a revenue source.
