The TTA Philosophy

The KIS principle

Simple, effective, holistic analysis and recommendations that make sense to you and your future – the Keep It Simple principle. At TTA we strive to keep it simple. To deliver architectures that make sense to you in YOUR business language, not ours. To focus on what matters most first, without losing sight of the bigger picture. To provide you with architectures that you understand, that have a long life, that are modifiable and dynamic, that move and expand with you over time. Architectures that help you see, do and be your best. Architectures that add real value.

Slicing through complexity

All businesses are complex in their own way and nobody knows your business better than you. But keeping up with the intricacies can be a challenge. Our dynamic personalised frameworks and progressive roadmap service gives you the knowledge and control to manage complexity both now and into the future with ease. We won’t tell you how to run your business. We’ll work with you so you can understand your business better, provide you with the knowledge of what’s possible, and connect your visions to your business reality.

Focussing on what matters most

So what matters most to you? Your core business. What you do that makes you money. The intellectual property that sets you apart from your competitors. The solutions you provide to solve other peoples issues. The products you produce. We understand this is why you exist. It’s the driver that keeps you in the game. It’s your core. Yours. And doing it better, faster and more cost effectively keeps you ahead. Your vision is sound. Your strategies empowering. But are they being realised? At TTA we connect your goals to your roadmap so you can transform your business and have clear sight of how you’re tracking.

But what about the rest of my business?

It’s easy to get complacent with tried and true processes and solutions that underpin your business while you focus on what matters most. Understanding the opportunities for improvement, outsourcing and integration of non-core functions can be a goldmine in terms of both cost and effort reduction. Architecting your complete business identifies the components that are core and proprietary to you, and those that are generic and may be performed by others, potentially better and at a lower cost. Wouldn’t it be nice to know your options? To know where thing are going well and where opportunities for cost savings exist?

The value of your people

The people in your business are your life blood and many business architectures miss this point, focusing only on the functions and processes they perform. Understanding staff capability and personal development is key to managing, keeping and empowering critical staff in your business. What do you do if you lose a staff member? What capabilities need to be replaced? Is there someone that can step up, or do you need to go fish the open market? Road-mapping your business is not just about solutions and technology, it’s about making sure risk is managed and immediate, tactical and strategic alternatives are realised across the board. TTA cuts through this complexity and provides you with the knowledge you need to manage all types of capability planning, including replacement, expansion and staff progression.

Buy, buy, buy, or maybe not? The question of change …

Change is generally required over time to allow for growth, new product lines, technological capabilities, the list goes on. But change costs time and money. It’s not necessarily about replacing that existing system with a new shiny technology every time. If the current environment works efficiently, is capable of keeping up with your business and customer requirements, and loved by your customers and employees alike then why replace it? Change is disruptive and should only be actioned as required to enhance efficiency, allow for integration, reduce costs or provide growth capability. At TTA we recognise this and tailor your architecture to match reality, in terms of both time and total cost or ownership.

Want an honest opinion?

At TTA we are not aligned to any specific solution and can honestly and openly recommend solutions that best fit your needs, rather than rely on a portfolio of solutions to squeeze into your requirements. How can anyone know what is best for your business until they really understand it? Our analysts are highly trained in research and, using their vast experience and networks, will identify the best options available and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision that’s right for you.

ICT IS THE ANSWER! Um … no, not always.

At TTA we focus on your business requirements both now and into the future. We acknowledge that technology is almost everywhere and provides excellent solutions to many business problems, but we also acknowledge that it’s not always cost effective, realistic, or possible. The solutions we recommend take into account all that is required, including (but not limited to) total cost of ownership, remote working environments, employee satisfaction, and risk mitigation. But don’t be dismayed. TTA has expertise in all forms of ICT and is extremely capable of identifying ICT capabilities and solutions in the marketplace that can assist you in your business.
