For over 15 years, Tanta Innovative Limited has been delivering cutting-edge tech solutions that bridge real-world challenges with forward-thinking innovation. In today’s interview for SafetyDetectives, MaryAnn Okafor, Human Resource Manager at Tanta Innovative, helped us explore how the company began, what drives its exceptional client retention, and how it continues to lead in areas like AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity.
How did Tanta Innovative get started, and how has the company evolved since its early days?
Tanta Innovative began its journey over 15 years ago with a foundational vision to bridge the gap between complex technological challenges and practical, impactful business solutions. In our early days, we focused on custom software development for businesses’. Over the years, we’ve evolved significantly, driven by market demands and technological advancements. We’ve expanded our expertise into cutting-edge domains like AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity, transforming from a bespoke development establishment into a comprehensive tech solutions partner, serving diverse industries and global clients. Our evolution is a testament to our adaptability and unwavering commitment to innovation.
What core values have guided Tanta Innovative through over 15 years of delivering tech solutions across various industries?
Our 15+ years of success are deeply rooted in a set of unwavering core values.
Firstly, Client-Centric Innovation is paramount – we don’t just build technology, we craft solutions that genuinely solve our clients’ problems and drive their growth.
Secondly, Excellence and Quality are non-negotiable; this is reflected in our robust development processes and our commitment to delivering secure, high-performing solutions, underscored by our ISO certifications.
Thirdly, Continuous Learning and Adaptability define our culture, ensuring we always stay ahead in a rapidly changing tech landscape.
Lastly, Integrity and Transparency guide all our interactions, fostering long-term trust with our clients and partners.
How does your team stay ahead of the curve in emerging technologies like AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity?
Staying at the forefront of emerging technologies like AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity is central to our strategy. We achieve this through a multi-faceted approach:
- Dedicated R&D: We invest significantly in internal research and development, allowing our teams to explore and experiment with new tools and methodologies.
- Continuous Learning Culture: We foster a culture of perpetual learning, providing our engineers with access to advanced training, certifications, and industry conferences. 3. Strategic Partnerships: We collaborate with leading technology providers and academic institutions to gain early insights and expertise.
- Agile Adoption: Our agile and DevOps practices enable rapid prototyping and integration of new technologies into our solutions, ensuring we can deliver cutting-edge capabilities to our clients quickly and efficiently.
What do you believe is the key to maintaining a 95% client retention rate in such a competitive market?
Our 95% client retention rate is a source of immense pride and a direct result of our deep commitment to client success and satisfaction. The key lies in several factors:
- True Partnership: We view our clients not just as customers, but as long-term partners. We invest in understanding their business deeply and aligning our solutions with their strategic goals.
- Exceptional Delivery: Consistent delivery of high-quality, reliable, and impactful solutions that genuinely add value to their operations.
- Proactive Communication: Maintaining open, transparent, and frequent communication throughout the project lifecycle and beyond.
- Post-Deployment Support: Our commitment extends beyond launch, with robust support and maintenance ensuring continued performance and client confidence. 5. Adaptability: We remain agile and responsive to their evolving needs, continuously refining our services to meet new challenges.
How do you decide whether to offer clients a fixed-price model or a consumption based approach?
The choice between a fixed-price and a consumption-based model is determined by the nature of the project and the client’s specific needs and risk appetite.
∙ Fixed-Price Model: We typically recommend a fixed-price model for projects with clearly defined scopes, stable requirements, and predictable deliverables. This provides cost certainty for the client and is suitable for well-understood projects where the outcome is unambiguous.
∙ Consumption-Based (Time & Materials/Agile) Approach: This model is preferred for projects where requirements are evolving, innovation is key, or the scope is less defined at the outset. It offers greater flexibility, allowing for iterative development, adaptation to changing market conditions, and optimization of resources based on actual usage or effort. It fosters a more collaborative relationship where both parties share the risks and benefits of discovery and evolution. Our goal is always to recommend the model that offers the best value, flexibility, and risk management for the client’s unique project.
In what ways do your ISO certifications shape your daily operations and commitment to quality and security?
Our ISO certifications (e.g., ISO 9001 for Quality Management and ISO 27001 for Information Security Management) are not just badges; they are fundamental pillars that shape our daily operations and underpin our unwavering commitment to quality and security.
∙ Structured Processes: ISO provides a robust framework for our processes, from initial client engagement and requirements gathering to development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. This ensures consistency, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
∙ Risk Management: For security, ISO 27001 mandates a systematic approach to managing sensitive company and client information, identifying risks, and implementing controls to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
∙ Continuous Improvement: Both certifications require regular audits and reviews, fostering a culture of continuous improvement where we constantly evaluate and enhance our systems, processes, and security posture.
∙ Client Confidence: Ultimately, these certifications provide our clients with the assurance that they are partnering with a company that adheres to the highest international standards for quality and data protection, which is absolutely critical in the software development industry.
