why

Fascinated by this Frank Lloyd Wright quote since childhood, we (Fergal and Padraig McDonnell) adopted it as a guiding light in relation to recruitment. In the following ways, the adage manifested itself:​

So many companies are designed to be faceless. At the root of this, we feel, is an unwillingness to take responsibility for results. If no one is going to be held accountable in a business, why should a consumer or a client be expected to place their faith in them? In this regard, Tailteann have always aspired to be different.

In our humble opinion, too many software designers only look within their own field for inspiration, which leads to output that’s predictable, indifferent, and even spiritless. To create genuinely unique products, we like to take a different approach.

Whilst we do everything in our power to deliver it, we can’t promise our customers or partners the world.

We can however promise them our lives.

Countless Tech Companies adopt Apple’s, Google’s and Facebook’s Company Values en masse, believing they will provide the foundation to replicate the trio’s incredible success.

An original will however always be more valuable than a copy.

We are not Apple, Google or Facebook.

​We never will be, nor do we want to be (as strange as that may possibly seem to some!).

We are proud products of our environment, forever in debt to the countless local visionaries, mentors and everyday heroes whose words of wisdom are interwoven into our company’s fabric.

Having launched countless own-brand products ourselves, we appreciate the urge to launch a new product most typically comes from a current dissatisfaction, whatever that may be. In unison, we help our partners co-define what is “wrong” before focussing upon what “right” looks, feels, sounds, and even smells and tastes like.

“Products of Our Environment” is not only what we create, but what we are. Forever in debt to all of those who helped shape our values, personalities and preferences, the very least we feel we can do is try to give something back to the community.

​Many people are of the belief that a niche is a ready-made thing, which can be stumbled upon with a bit of luck. In our view however, a niche is something that must be crafted, with a lot of love, and no little know-how.

To us, natural means behaving like a human, and not some kind of emotionless robot!
