“Shazamm has been involved with the Tech Collective since its beginnings as RITEC, when we built their first Web site,” said Dana Paul, Shazamm’s CEO. “It is a privilege to once again work with the organization as it continues to grow and evolve. And we are confident the new Tech Collective site will prove to be a flexible, reliable and resourceful asset for that growth, both internally and to the industry it serves.”

“Tech Collective is excited to announce our brand new website!” said Giselle LaFrance, manager of media relations for the organization. “Its features truly align with Tech Collective’s mission of connecting people with the critical resources needed to prosper in the IT and Bioscience industries. There is also the opportunity to utilize our website as a marketing and business tool to help users accelerate their company. Industry awareness and advancement is one of the website – and Tech Collective’s – strongest benefits, especially in an uncertain economy. We are proud to share it with all of Rhode Island’s technology stakeholders.”

Future plans for the website include the addition of a blog forum as well as members’ login and social networking capabilities. For more information, please visit: www.tech-collective.org.
