Tagus BV · Technical consultancy
From many sources, one course.
Software engineering, database consulting, and the technical and scientific analysis that stands behind professional assessments.
A project can end in an application, a database design, an analysis, or a documented body of evidence. Deciding which is part of the work.
01 — What we do
Four capabilities, one way of working.
Most of the problems we are asked about sit between disciplines. A reporting problem turns out to be a data model problem. A software project depends on understanding a technical domain first.
You can approach us with the problem before you know which of these it needs.
Software & Digital Applications
Applications, internal tools and integrations, with a background in MES.
02Data & Database Consulting
Architecture, performance and migrations. Often days of diagnosis, not a rebuild.
03Scientific & Technical Consulting
Literature research, evidence synthesis and the writing that makes it usable.
04Technical Evidence & Expert Support
The data and analysis behind an assessment, for the professional who signs it.
Background
Our background is in manufacturing execution.
Manufacturing execution systems · MES
Much of our work has been MES: the systems that record what is actually happening on a production floor — orders, materials, machines, quality, traceability.
It is a domain where the specification and the real process are rarely the same document. That is where the habit of building around the work rather than around the brief comes from.
02 — Engagements
Four ways this usually begins.
Not every piece of work is a project. The most useful ones often end in a decision, not a build.
A few days of analysis
An independent read of a system, a data model or a body of evidence.
A focused assignment
One problem, scoped and finished: a slow database, a migration, a set of annexes.
A full project
Design and delivery, from the first conversation to handover.
Technical support behind your own work
The data and documentation behind an assessment you sign yourself.
03 — How the work is put together
The same core, a different team.
The software, data and technical work is ours. What changes from one project to the next is who else is involved — and who signs what at the end.
Software project
When the answer is software
Design and delivery inside our own core. The people who worked out the problem are the people who build it.
Scientific advisory
When it needs a scientist
We handle the data, the analysis and the writing. A scientific specialist brings the domain judgement: one piece of work, not two suppliers.
Technical evidence
When someone has to sign it
We assemble, process and document the material. The qualified expert reaches the conclusion and signs it.
04 — About
Tagus BV
A technology and technical consulting company, working where software, data and technical understanding meet. The work is done by the people you talk to, and we bring in trusted specialists when a project needs knowledge outside our core.
The name is the Tagus — the river that crosses Iberia and cuts through the rock at Monfragüe. A working metaphor rather than a decorative one: what arrives scattered has to leave navigable.
05 — Contact
You do not have to know which discipline it needs.
Software, data work, technical research, or a combination — working that out is usually the first useful thing we do together.
What the problem is, and any deadline you are working to. That is enough for us to tell you whether we are the right people.
