Tallan develops advanced, business-critical IT software solutions.  We recognized early on that in order to succeed, we would need to deliver real, business value to clients.

That meant focusing on the critical systems that enable clients to do business, and using the best, most advanced technologies that can be leveraged into even more powerful, flexible, and adaptable systems.

Since our founding in 1985, we have architected, built and implemented applications for over 400 clients in every major industry category.  We maintain expertise in numerous technologies including the Java/J2EE and Microsoft .Net platforms.  As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and part of Microsoft’s National Systems Integrator (NSI) Program we are among the elite of their business partners, demonstrating a track record of achievement of the highest performance standards in “real-world” implementations. Our longevity and experience have enabled us to refine our focus on our core solutions and continually enhance our abilities to deliver the most cost effective IT solutions for the most challenging business environments.

We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by never forgetting that our success is only possible through our clients’ success.  Which is one reason so many of our current and former clients speak so highly of us, and continue to hire us.  Greater than half of our current business comes from clients we have worked with before.  Such challenging work required the best talent available.

We set ourselves apart by hiring people who possess an innate hunger for technology solutions.  We nourish that hunger by providing them with challenging, important work.  And, they stick around.  We boast an employee retention rate significantly higher than the industry average.

Lastly, and most importantly, we make an impact on our clients businesses.  Our mission statement says that, “we build software that helps our clients grow”.  This means that our software has to work, it has to launch when we say it will and it has to do what our clients need it to do.  We have a company heritage promising and delivering results – of finishing the engagements we start, no matter how difficult or complex – on time and on budget.

professionalism (n): sharing your expertise, enthusiasm, and energy.
