Community Web Portals - A Sustainable Model
One of the biggest challenges facing communities today is harnessing technology to bringing all aspects of the community together. For a community to build an internet based application from scratch including maintenance, the cost is prohibitive.
Our model will significantly reduce costs and allow a community to focus on building.
The Mighty Community Group solution allows a community to obtain the rights to use software rather than actually purchase it. Licensing the community portal application allows the community to expedite their roll out and focus on their assets.
Licensing the software eliminates the need for high capital investments and high ongoing support costs. Since you don't own the software, you don't have to worry about the ongoing upgrades.
MCG offers the Community Web Portal as a White Label solution, allowing the community to brand themselves. Not only does it save you time and money, but it allows you to focus on the primary functions of your community building initiatives while increasing revenues and employment throughout the region.
