Big Arm

Big Arm is a small community on the west shore of Flathead Lake in Lake County, Montana on the Flathead Indian Reservation, in the homeland of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, known for Big Arm State Park and the bay it sits on. Its life centers on the tribal community, Flathead Lake recreation, and the families and businesses serving the west shore. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, their programs and enterprises, and the Big Arm area's recreation 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. When we build for the Nation, the Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop.

Yes. Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a small west-shore community on Flathead Lake is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Big Arm client, the Tribes, a tribal program, or a local business, gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.

In intake, booking, reservation, scheduling, recordkeeping, customer or member email, and follow-up, so a recreation business, a tribal program, or a local organization gets real leverage across the lake season without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.

Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling and access controls aligned to the Nation's data-governance rules. We set it up and manage it for you, with the Nation retaining control.

A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what the Tribes or your business actually needs and phase it so value lands before the season.

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. For the Nation, that ownership and data sovereignty are the starting point, not an afterthought.
