Council
Council is the seat and largest town of Adams County, Idaho in the mountains of west-central Idaho along US-95, a ranching-and-timber community that serves as a gateway toward Hells Canyon and the Seven Devils. Its economy runs on cattle ranching and hay, timber and forest products, hunting and outdoor recreation, county government, and the businesses serving the valley and the backcountry. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Council companies, from ranches and timber operations to outfitters and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Can you help a Council ranch or cattle operation?

What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Council business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling. We set it up and manage it for you, with offline-tolerant design that fits a remote operation.
What does a custom platform cost a Council business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; larger ranch, timber, or outfitting platforms scale from there. We scope it to what your Council operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and the data outright, with no lock-in, hosted in an environment that fits your requirements.
