Yes. We start with the one system that hurts most, then host and run it on LTFI so nobody on your side has to babysit it.
Software and hosting for Shirley's mills and manufacturers
Route 2A and the Fitchburg Line
Does Kief Studio work in Shirley? Yes.
Shirley's working base is in Shirley Village and the southeastern part of town, where the town's own plan places its denser commercial and industrial development. Kief Studio builds and hosts software for Shirley firms from Shrewsbury, MA 01545, with managed hosting on LTFI leading.
Two of the town's major mills had closed by 1990, and both complexes have since been redeveloped to house a diverse array of businesses. Part of Devens also lies inside Shirley's historic boundaries, and MassDevelopment finds manufacturing there about seven times as concentrated as in the state as a whole. Routes 2A and 225 cross the north of town and the commuter rail station runs to Cambridge and Boston. For a manufacturer or a tenant in a converted mill, the useful work is usually an ERP or an integration that gets the shop's data out of spreadsheets and into one place.
