Hiram
Hiram is a village in eastern Portage County, home to Hiram College and tied to President James A. Garfield's history, a small hilltop college community with a Main Street and a base of shops and service businesses near the Nelson-Kennedy Ledges. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Hiram area's shops, restaurants, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.

Yes, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Hiram client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
What would you build for a Hiram shop, restaurant, or service business?
Usually an ordering, point-of-sale, booking, customer, or billing platform built around how your operation runs, so a Hiram business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Hiram operator?
In intake, customer email, booking, scheduling, and follow-up, so a Hiram business gets real leverage and handles the college-calendar swings without scrambling for staff.

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 Hiram business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Hiram operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.

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 Hiram 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.
