Why trust The Build Tank to help you

overcome your technology dysfunction?

We know how this works.

And we know why for most organizations, it isn’t working. Your technology is either excellent or bad. Excellent technology keeps getting better. Bad technology keeps getting worse. The way to the promised land is robust, seasoned stewardship: the right people in the right roles in the right structure. We can show you the way.

We Identify the root causes.

You need a holistic understanding of how your unique technology infrastructure works together, You need to understand the reality of your current situation, and you need a vision for a future where your systems precisely fit your purposes and your people know how to keep your data accurate and pull relevant insights from it, across the organization.

We give you the plan.

Once we understand the landscape, we can sequence the interventions. Without this system-wide understanding, interventions often make the patchwork worse. System-wide understanding is as much about communication as technical understanding. We’ll help you communicate it with all your stakeholders, and get the buy-in you’ll need to make this transformation work.

We get you out of the ditch, on the road, and into a new orbit.

The plan, by itself, doesn’t get you there. Eventually, you’ll be running this with an internal team that is trained and mentored and ready to take the reins. But until you have that internal team in place and ready to fly on their own, you need this expansive area of work covered. We cover it, ensuring expert delivery of best-in-class technology.
