BigTeams, the industry leader in easy to use, comprehensive website and software solutions for high school athletic programs, announced the hiring of a new Chief Technology Officer, Mark Keffer. Most recently, Keffer served as Vice President of IT for Asurion, the worldwide leader in mobile protection insurance.

?The rapid advances in mobile technology have raised parent and athlete expectations for effective communication.
