Trail City
Trail City is a tiny community in southern Corson County, South Dakota on the Standing Rock Reservation, in West-River cattle and ranch country near the Missouri River and Mobridge across the county line. Its economy is built on ranching, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's nearby community, and the handful of families and businesses serving the surrounding ranches. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Trail City area's ranching and service businesses and for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip. When we build for the Nation, the Nation owns its data and its systems, full stop.

The Nation does, full stop. We respect tribal data sovereignty: the Tribe owns its data and its systems outright, the data stays under the Nation's control, and there is no vendor lock-in.

Yes. We tune local SEO, content, and customer tools so a Trail City-area business reaches the nearby Mobridge market across the river and the wider region along with its local base.

What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Trail City business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling and, for tribal-facing work, access controls aligned to the Tribe's data-governance rules. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Trail City business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running, and who owns the code and data?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there, and you own the code and data outright, no lock-in; and when we build for the Tribe, the Nation owns its data and systems outright.
