Long Valley
Long Valley is a tiny community in the southern part of Jackson County, South Dakota along US Highway 18 within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation, in West-River cattle and ranch country. Its economy is built on ranching, agriculture, and the handful of businesses serving the surrounding ranches and the nearby Oglala Lakota communities. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Long Valley area's ranching and service businesses and for the Oglala Sioux Tribe across this part of the reservation, 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.
Do you work with businesses in Long Valley, South Dakota?

Remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a tiny ranch community in southern Jackson County on the Pine Ridge Reservation is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Long Valley-area client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.

Can you build Lakota-language (Lakȟótiyapi) tools for the Long Valley area?

What would you build for a Long Valley trades or service business?
Usually a job-tracking, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs, so a Long Valley-area business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.

In intake, scheduling, recordkeeping, customer or member email, and follow-up, so a Long Valley-area ranch, business, or tribal program gets real leverage without adding headcount, while keeping data under its own control.

What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Long Valley business or organization?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling and access controls aligned to tribal data-governance rules where applicable. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Long Valley 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.
Can you help a Long Valley business get found online?
Yes. Local SEO and content tuned for the Long Valley area and its southern Jackson County, Pine Ridge ranch market, so the customers searching find you first.
