About Us ! :


Media Technology Associates is a small group of independent artist, craftsmen, engineers and computer geeks, who live for the challenges on the leading edge of media technology. Our initial "virtual" concept evolved during the down-sizing of the early ' 90's, when corporations expressed declining responsibility to employees who once felt they had jobs "for life". Phone conversations between technically competent -- but potentially unemployed -- friends, pointed out the importance of developing our own business sense as sharply as we developed our technical skills. Academic friends shared our concern for career stability, and the same passion for our individual professional specialties. Gradually, the theory has become a practical reality !

Media Technology Associates is a symbiotic organism. It allows each individual to maintain their traditional career tracks and to follow their passions to develop and protect independent professional skills. As individuals, we pursue each new challenge on our own time, with the same skill-set we use in our day-to-day jobs. We gain new knowledge and the personal satisfaction of independent accomplishment. Our traditional employers gain better employees, from the varied experience and new perspectives we gain from outside projects. Small businesses who couldn't possibly afford full-time technology specialists, have the skills they need, when they need them !

First Contact ! :
As an "virtual" enterprise, our 'office' is where ever our computers are plugged-in. We rely almost exclusively on electronic communications, so the first, and most reliable means of communications is internet email.This way we:
  • don't need a receptionist,
  • don't waste time on phone 'interruptions', and
  • get more work done !
We read the incoming email questions; we do whatever research is required to formulate an answer; and we reply via email, providing whatever file attachments are required. You just can't do that over-the-phone ! Once we establish an initial relationship, we provide clients with telephone, fax and pager numbers for ongoing, project-specific communications. It seems to be working !!

We do maintain traditional 'snail-mail' facilities:
