What We Do
Techstra Solutions is a certified woman-owned consulting firm that provides strategy, technology and implementation support to large organizations undergoing digital and talent transformation. The rapid pace of technology innovation required to remain competitive, juxtaposed with the slow rate of change in many organizations, causes most to struggle. To be successful companies must drive new ways of working including the use of technology/analytics and new skillsets (hard/soft) deep into their culture so that they are able to rapidly and continuously react to change. They must also apply new approaches that empower their employees, ensuring its sustainability. At Techstra Solutions we focus on four key areas, otherwise known as the 4 A’s: Automation (Robotic Process Automation (RPA)/Intelligent Automation), Analytics (Reporting/Analytics/AI/ML), Application Modernization (Cloud, Mobility, etc), and Agile-based solutions (DevOps).
