What We Do

Two disciplines.
One strategic partner.

We focus intensely on two things — and do both exceptionally well. No sprawl, no generalism. Just deep expertise where it matters most.

Bespoke Software
Development

We design and build custom software from the ground up — web applications, APIs, internal tools, and complex back-office systems — engineered to fit your exact operational reality and scale as you grow.

  • Full-stack web application development
  • Custom APIs, integrations & microservices
  • Back-office, CRM & workflow automation
  • Legacy system modernisation & migration
  • SaaS product development
  • Database architecture & optimisation
  • DevOps, CI/CD & cloud deployment

IT Consultancy &
Strategy

We act as a trusted technology advisor — helping businesses make sharper decisions about software, infrastructure, architecture, and digital strategy. Independent, vendor-neutral, and commercially grounded.

  • Technology audits & architecture review
  • Digital transformation roadmapping
  • Software vendor selection & RFP support
  • Technical due diligence for investors & acquirers
  • CTO-as-a-service & fractional leadership
  • Team structure & engineering process review
  • Cloud strategy & cost optimisation
How We Build

Software development
done properly.

We believe great software comes from a disciplined process, clear communication, and engineers who take ownership. Here's what that looks like in practice.

01
Discovery

We understand before we build

Every project begins with structured discovery — mapping your workflows, constraints, and success criteria before a single line of code is written. No assumptions, no guesswork.

02
Architecture

Designed to last, built to scale

We make deliberate architectural decisions — choosing the right technologies, patterns, and infrastructure for your specific context, not whatever's currently fashionable.

03
Delivery

Iterative, visible, predictable

We work in focused sprints with regular demos and progress updates. You see working software early and shape the direction throughout — not just at the end.

04
Quality

Code that can be maintained

We write clean, documented, well-tested code. Not because it's a nice-to-have, but because software that can't be maintained is a liability, not an asset.

05
Security

Security baked in from day one

We don't bolt security on at the end. Authentication, data handling, access controls, and GDPR compliance are designed into every system from the start.

06
Handover

You own it completely

Full source code, documentation, deployment guides, and knowledge transfer. You're never locked in to us — though most clients choose to stay for ongoing support.

IT Consultancy

The technology advice
you actually need.

Architecture & Technical Review

Independent assessment of your current systems, codebase, and infrastructure — identifying risk, waste, and opportunity with actionable recommendations.

Digital Transformation Strategy

A realistic, sequenced roadmap for digitising operations and modernising technology — grounded in commercial priorities, not technology for its own sake.

Technical Due Diligence

Rigorous evaluation of software assets for investors, acquirers, and boards. We assess architecture, code quality, team capability, and scalability risk.

CTO-as-a-Service

Senior technical leadership without the full-time overhead. We fill the strategic gap — owning technical direction, managing vendors, and advising the board.

Build vs Buy vs Partner

Objective analysis to determine when to build custom software, when to buy a platform, and when to partner — decisions that define cost and capability for years.

"The most expensive mistake in software is building the wrong thing — or building the right thing the wrong way."
We help you avoid both.

Most businesses don't need more technology — they need the right technology, configured correctly, with a clear strategy behind it. Our consultancy practice exists to provide that clarity.

We work with founders, CTOs, CFOs, and boards who are making significant technology decisions and want independent, experienced counsel — not a sales pitch.

Our engagements range from a single-day architecture review to a 12-month embedded advisory relationship. We adapt to what you need.

5

Launch & Support

Go-live, training, documentation, and a support arrangement that fits your operational needs.

Why LITTAU IT

What makes us
worth choosing — honestly.

We don't compete on price. We compete on the quality of our thinking, our code, and our relationships.

🎯

Focused, not sprawling

We do two things — bespoke software and IT consultancy. That focus means you get senior practitioners, not generalist account managers passing work to junior teams.

🔍

Genuinely independent

We have no reseller relationships, no platform partnerships that skew our advice. Our recommendations are based solely on what's right for your situation.

📋

Fixed-price delivery

We scope carefully and price with precision. If we underestimate, that's our problem — not yours. Scope changes are discussed openly, agreed in writing, and priced fairly.

🤝

Built for the long term

Our best client relationships span years, not projects. We invest in understanding your business because the best technology advice comes from people who know your context deeply.

How to Work With Us

Three ways to
engage with us.

We adapt to how you work and what you need. All engagements begin with a no-pressure discovery conversation.

Project Delivery

A defined scope, a fixed price, and a committed timeline. Ideal for greenfield software builds, migration projects, and integrations where requirements are clear and outcomes are specific.

Fixed scope & price

Embedded Team

Our engineers and consultants integrate directly with your team — providing capacity, specialist skills, and leadership on a retained basis. Scales up or down with your needs.

Monthly retainer

Advisory & Consultancy

Strategic technology guidance without the delivery overhead. Audits, reviews, due diligence, roadmapping, and fractional CTO. Billed by engagement or day rate.

Flexible advisory
Get In Touch

Let's talk about
your challenge.

If you're building something complex, modernising a system, or trying to make a significant technology decision — we'd like to hear about it. No obligation, no sales pitch. Just a straightforward conversation to understand whether we're a fit.

Most engagements begin with a 30-minute discovery call. We'll ask the right questions, and you can ask us anything.
