Rochester
Rochester is the third-largest city in New York State, the heart of the Finger Lakes region with a proud imaging-and-optics heritage from Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch & Lomb, major universities, a large Black and growing Puerto Rican and Latino community, and one of the country's largest Deaf communities anchored by RIT's NTID. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Rochester's restaurants, shops, contractors, and professional practices, and we serve them from York County, Pennsylvania — across the state — remote-first, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Rochester?
Yes — remote-first, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Rochester client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues, even though we're across the state in Pennsylvania.
What would you build for a Rochester restaurant, shop, or contractor?
Usually a customer, ordering, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Rochester business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you do marketing in more than one language for Rochester?
Yes — local SEO and content in English and Spanish, tuned for Rochester's strong Puerto Rican and Latino community, so customers searching in their own language find you first.
Can you make a platform accessible for Rochester's Deaf community?
Yes — we build with accessibility in mind, including clear visual interfaces, captioned video, and text-based intake and chat flows that serve Rochester's large Deaf and hard-of-hearing community well.
Where does AI help a Rochester operator?
In intake, customer email, scheduling, and follow-up — so a Rochester business gets real leverage without adding headcount.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Rochester business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Rochester business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Rochester operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Rochester business.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Typically 15–60 minutes during business hours and under an hour after-hours for critical issues, handled remotely with direct access for urgent problems instead of a ticket queue.
