Software for the Eye of the Commonwealth
Optics town
Does Kief Studio work in Southbridge? Yes.
Southbridge has a long history of making optical products, which is how it got the name Eye of the Commonwealth. The town says it still does optics with international companies and is reinventing its old manufacturing spaces. Kief Studio builds and hosts software for that mix, from Shrewsbury.
Health care is the other anchor, since the largest employer in town is its hospital. So there are two kinds of buyers here, precision manufacturers and regulated health care, and both need systems that hold up under scrutiny. We build those systems, run them on dedicated infrastructure through managed hosting on LTFI, and treat security as part of the engineering rather than an audit at the end.
