Digitalmill is a technology project and software development firm based in Portland, Maine.

Digitalmill has produced software, technology trade books, articles and web sites for many leading organizations, and publishers. We feature a strong focus on how emerging technologies create opportunity. This especially include games (our specialty) and their emerging cultural and technological application. It also includes new trends such as digital audio, social software, digital photography, and mobile devices.

Why Maine? Natural beauty, quality of life, oceans, mountains, lakes, history, proximity to major cities, a growing high tech industry, high speed cable access - need we go on? And if you don't believe us, believe Outside Magazine, which recently named Portland, Maine one of its North American Dream Towns. Outside said in its May 1999 issue that Portland "defies definition... where your turn-of-the-century waterfront farmhouse is just minutes from the newly refurbished civic auditorium." Why Maine? Why anywhere else?

Digitalmill is also an active market research firm having completed large projects for leading research companies Jupiter Communications, KTown Group, and DFC Intelligence. In addition, Digitalmill has developed marketing and online communications projects for such major non-profit organizations as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

We have also become known as the force behind the Serious Games Initiative - a broad grassroots effort cofounded with The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. As part of those activities Digitalmill is considered one of the key leaders behind the application of games, game talent, and game technologies for purposes other then entertainment. Recently we launched a series of conferences with CMP's Game Group to showcase the potential of games in other fields, and to broaden the knowledge base behind such efforts.

Digitalmill's principals hail from the worlds of technology, marketing/public relations and journalism. What makes Digitalmill special is its vision that new technologies will change the way we not only work, learn, and play - but in such a way as to put more power into the hands of individuals. Technology is perhaps the greatest democratization invention since the founding of the New England Town Hall.
