Introducing TLaaS: Technology Leadership Without the Overhead

Most technology consultancies are built around the billable-hour treadmill: large teams, long statements of work, and a business model that rewards scope creep over results. TLaaS is built around the opposite idea.

What we are

TLaaS is "hakuna matata" for your business. We provide two focused offerings:

1. Time-Based IT Consulting — senior technical guidance billed by time, no retainer. CTO as a Service, Architecture, cloud migrations, Kubernetes, infrastructure strategy.

2. Open-Source Software Maintenance — SLA-backed commercial support for open-source projects running in your production environment. Patch backports, upstream liaison, CVE remediation with documented timelines.

Why time-and-materials

Most organisations that come to us have a bounded problem. They know roughly what they need and roughly how long it should take. A retainer model adds friction and creates the wrong incentives — you pay for availability, not outcomes.

Time-and-materials aligns our incentives with yours. We work efficiently because we are not trying to maximise hours. You pay for what you consume.

Why commercial OSS support

Open-source software is the foundation of modern infrastructure. Most organisations run dozens of critical open-source components pinned to old versions, without guarantee of maintenance. When a CVE lands, someone has to fix it or even backport it. When an upstream project changes direction, someone has to evaluate the impact.

That someone is often nobody... until it becomes a crisis.

We keep that work done, continuously, so the crisis never arrives.
