Deliver

Products, not projects

Applications don't just get built, they require improvement to meet changing needs and updates to stay current with technologies. We treat applications as products and help you iteratively determine a lifecycle strategy that meets your needs. This is why we are big fans of agile methodologies as well as lean startup principles. As the world moves fast, we need to produce measurable results just as fast. And we are all about results.

Team

Talent + Dedication

We are two people - a couple to be exact. We started Tapangi in the summer of 2011 because we thought there was a better way to do business. The word “Tapangi” means to help (in a rare Palauan language). And that is what we do.
