About Kota Technology

Serving SMBs, Dental & Healthcare Organizations Throughout the Upper Midwest

Most IT companies will tell you they support healthcare practices.
Kota Technology was built specifically for them.

Our founder Ryan Hansen spent years working inside the dental industry before launching Kota. That experience didn't just inform how we work - it shaped everything we built, from the services we offer to the way our technicians communicate with clinical staff. We understand what it means when a chair goes down in a dental office or a patient record can't be pulled up at the front desk. We've been inside enough practices to know that technology failures in healthcare aren't just inconvenient - they disrupt patient care.

Today, Kota Technology supports healthcare practices of every kind across South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska: dental offices, medical practices, optometry clinics, veterinary clinics, physical therapy practices, and behavioral health providers. We're based in Sioux Falls, and we're the only member of the Dental Integrators Association serving clients in South Dakota and North Dakota.

About Ryan Hansen, Founder of Kota Technology

Ryan Hansen started his first technology business, Computer Reliance, while still in college — providing in-home and in-office repair for Dell, HP, and Best Buy customers. After graduating, he joined Best Buy's corporate office on the Geek Squad business team, where he helped launch Geek Squad nationally.

Life took Ryan and his family to Germany, where his wife was stationed with the U.S. Army. During that time, he shifted into a global supply management role at Terex as a senior manager, overseeing international supply chains and government regulations across large and small business operations worldwide.

When Ryan returned to the U.S., he brought that combination of deep technology experience and corporate business knowledge back to where he started — building something of his own. Kota Technology was the result: a company that understands the technology requirements of a healthcare practice from the inside out.

Meet the Team

When you work with Kota, you'll talk to the same two or three technicians every time. We're not a call center. There's no rotating staff, no offshore helpdesk, and no starting from scratch on every call. Our team knows your setup, knows your software, and picks up the phone.

Great experience working with this team!

They've helped our dental practice with IT support, network setup, and making sure we're staying on top of HIPAA compliance. They're responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with whenever we need assistance. It's reassuring to have a local IT partner in Sioux Falls who understands the unique technology needs of a dental office. I highly recommend them to any healthcare practice looking for reliable IT support.

We made the switch to Kota Technology for our orthodontic office about a year ago after continuously having issues with slow servers and outdated technology.

A lot of time and frustration was being spent on slow/crashing computers They came in and diagnosed all of our IT infrastructure. They help us put together a plan to upgrade servers, network setup, and managed IT services. Since the switch, everything is a lot more stable and we spend a lot less time and energy chasing down computer issues.
