Solutions and Offerings

Technology is the foundation of many of today’s vital business functions.

It assists you with employee communication and collaboration, it aids your partnerships with other businesses and it helps you reach out to your customers.  But technology evolves and changes quickly, challenging even the most astute business to retain the right IT staff, with the right skill set.

At Tallan, we recognize that, just as no two businesses needs are exactly alike, no two technology projects are exactly alike either This means that it is imperative to properly staff a project in order to guide it successfully from its inception through to delivery. As opposed to a staffing firm that provides resumes for positions, Tallan is a solutions-oriented company that takes ownership of a project. A Tallan Director reviews the scope of a project, allocates the necessary staff, and provides review and guidance throughout the life of the project. Project managers are full-time resources that have strong technical backgrounds yet are extremely knowledgeable of business processes allowing them to bridge potential gaps between the IT and business groups.  Our Architects leverage their experience and domain knowledge to help design a solution that will meet the business needs while still ensuring the scalability and flexibility required by IT.  Finally, Tallan’s Consultants provide the skill and experience to effectively design and develop the solution.
