Slippery Rock
Slippery Rock is a Butler County borough in northwestern Butler — home of Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, with a walkable Main Street commercial spine and a real university-town character that mixes the student/faculty population with the surrounding Slippery Rock Township and broader Butler County working population. The working business mix runs from small retail and restaurants (heavily student-and-faculty-serving) through professional offices, healthcare-adjacent practices, bars and hospitality, and the trades and service operators serving both the borough and the surrounding rural townships. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Slippery Rock-scale operators — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — replacing the patchwork of disconnected SaaS subscriptions most Butler County small businesses are paying for today. The questions below come up most often during first calls.
Do you work with businesses in Slippery Rock?
Yes — Slippery Rock is a Butler County college town built around Slippery Rock University, with a walkable Main Street, and its shops, restaurants, and small businesses are a good fit for what we do — we're based across the state in York County, Pennsylvania and work remote-first with on-site time when it's warranted.
What would a custom tool do for a Slippery Rock business?
Bring customers, orders, and invoicing into one place built for how your Slippery Rock operation runs, so a business serving students and locals isn't working across disconnected tools and paper.
Where would AI help a Slippery Rock business?
At the inbox-and-content load — drafting replies and listings, summarizing inquiries, and producing first drafts of posts and events — so a Slippery Rock owner spends time on customers, not the laptop.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Slippery Rock business?
Multi-factor authentication, managed endpoint protection, immutable backups, and phishing filtering, with an incident plan. A business taking card payments is a target; we set and maintain the controls.
What does managed IT include for us?
Email, devices, network, backups, security, Wi-Fi, and POS — monitored and maintained — with someone to call when something breaks. For a Slippery Rock operator the tech just runs.
What would a build cost a Slippery Rock business?
A focused tool can start in the high four figures; managed IT is a modest monthly cost. We scope to a Slippery Rock operation and build in stages.
Do we own the work afterward?
Yes — code and data both, no lock-in, take it anywhere any time.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Usually 15 to 60 minutes in business hours and under an hour after-hours for urgent issues — a direct line, not a queue.
Can you help our Slippery Rock business get found online?
