Since our founding in 1987, we have grown to over 100 consultants.  Our focus continues to be on understanding and delivering results within relevant technology areas that enable our Clients to realize business success.
​Technology has become the most Strategic Business Asset for organizations to compete in today's Better, Cheaper, Faster economy.  Business executives expect that their investments in IT should just work." To accomplish these objectives Tallgrass has relevant Technology Practice Areas to support our clients.
What we have learned, is that while our Clients' Business objectives may vary across different industries, their core challenges are very similar - they must Enable Strategic Capabilities. We believe that the approach to helping you acquire these Strategic Capabilities begins with.....
  • Understanding the business goals and expected benefits/impacts of the proposed initiative
  • Confirming the current state process/ solution/existing investments and skill sets
  • Evaluating potential key technology/alternatives 
  • Collaborating with you to develop an action plan to achieve the business goals and impacts
  •  Implementing an effective solution guided by our Project Management Disciplines
Tallgrass will help your organization respond to managing your infrastructure and delivering business responsiveness.  Our competencies, experience, and partner relationships across key technologies are what we offer.  Tallgrass doesn't make the technologies - Tallgrass helps you get more value from them in your environment.
