Umbraco for Noobs Part I: The Overview

Umbraco is a customizable, adaptive Content Management System that allows end-users to build and grow content on their sites, without having to worry about layout and coding.

June 17, 2013

We’ve discussed Umbraco while sharing our adventures in the technology world. But what is it? We decided it’s time to give you the low-down on one of our favorite tools in helping our clients develop content, drive user engagement, and increase credibility to their customers.

In this first segment of this three-part series, we’ll give you a basic overview of the Umbraco software.




A Labor Union Engages its Membership via the Web

MTC builds a new look and a membership portal for IATSE Local 481 New England, Studio Mechanics

May 30, 2013

Connecting, organizing and mobilizing stakeholders with varying goals can be a challenge. But with a partnership between IASTE Local 481 and Massachusetts Technology Corporation, the right team was in place.

IATSE481 New England Studio Mechanics is a regional local of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. It includes members from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont who work on TV commercials, movies and films with wide ranging fields such as such as gaffers, set construction, costume design and sound.

The local works hard to ensure members are employed, educated and active in the community, but their outdated website was holding them back. This is where MTC stepped in.




10 Tips From Boing Boing on Making Killer Content

Fast Company article discusses 10 tips to make killer blog and Twitter content

February 08, 2013

Since our redesigned MTC website in late 2012, one of the things we've admittedly struggled with is including relevant, useful and engaging content in our blog area.

Our blog serves multiple purposes: it helps us inform our customers and friends, it creates content for search engines to grab hold of, and hopefully if we're doing it right...it creates credibilty that we actually know what we're doing.

Fast Company published an article that does a great job of summarizing how to develop and include relevant content in your blog, and how you should know the difference between fluff and quality.




Boston Scientific handles Sunshine Act reporting in the cloud

MTC created a tracking and workflow application for Boston Scientific to comply with state and Federal legislative requirements

January 14, 2013

To comply with Sunshine Act requirements, MTC created a web-based system for Boston Scientific to manage the entire reporting and payment process to physicians for speaking engagements, lunches, proctorships and preceptorships.

The Sunshine Act states that any drug, device, or medical supply manufacturer operating in the United States must report any payment or benefit given to a physician. It changes significantly how drug companies and CROs think about payments to medical professionals. Payments under $10 are excluded, but only if the total spent on that HCP is less than $100 annually.

Companies will need to begin recording this information in early 2013.
