Summary

What we do

Tatis has a rich history of building international revenue management solutions. Having ventured into customs management in 2006 we were contracted to deliver a customs solution to Luxembourg.

In 2010 we made a strategic decision to establish a partnership with Oracle. The adoption of the Oracle Public Sector Revenue Management (PSRM) suite as the core component in the Tatis offering led to the achievement of Oracle Gold partnership status. Today Oracle and revenue authorities recognise us as experts in revenue management and as an Oracle PSRM strategic partner.

Today our focus is on Tax and Revenue management. The solutions we provide are based upon the Oracle technology stack with PSRM at the core. The Oracle technology supports external integration enabling the revenue authority to establish a single view of the taxpayer across all revenue streams.

We understand the integration of software products and components into a solution.

Why Work For Us

We are a talented team of committed professionals working together on challenging projects. We take great care in choosing the very best talent because our people are the reason for our success.

Tatis is a place to grow your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Bring your talents and ideas and let’s make this a shared journey.

We work hard to actively build a culture and work environment where people are safe and secure so that they can focus on getting the job done in the very best way possible.

The compensation and benefits we offer underscore our commitment to competitive rewards, as well as ongoing learning and development. But pay and benefits are not the key differentiators in attracting and retaining good people at Tatis.

Generally people join and stay at Tatis because of the meaningful work experience we offer.

Our Culture

Self-Starters, Go-getters,
call them what you like, our people thrive in an environment full of challenges where they are expected to identify what needs to be done and kick start themselves to do it. A flat hierarchy allows for minimal structure, expecting people to provide the structure and initiative where required.

Flat structure
Hierarchy is great for maintaining predictability and repeatability. It simplifies planning and makes it easier to control a large group of people from the top down, which is why military organizations rely on it so heavily. But when you’re an agile solutions company that’s gone out of its way to recruit intelligent, innovative, talented people, telling them to sit at a desk and do what they’re told obliterates 99 percent of their value. We want contributors, and that means maintaining an environment where they’ll flourish.

Teamwork
Ours is a collaborative, open work environment, sharing our knowledge and information with each other, learning from and supporting one another to ensure an integrated effort that will delight our clients.

We deliver
Our reputation is one of overcoming the technical and other obstacles to deliver, come what may.

Learning and challenges
We demand and appreciate abilities to learn new technology, skills and ways of getting things done. We thrive on mastering new skill sets, foreign technologies or whatever it takes to deliver a complete and efficient solution.

Work Life Balance
While people occasionally choose to push themselves to work some extra hours at times when something big is to be delivered, for the most part working overtime for extended periods indicates a fundamental failure in planning or communication. If this happens it’s a sign that something needs to be re-evaluated and corrected.

Hiring good people is important to us, so we want them to stick around and have a good balance between work and family and the rest of the important stuff in life.

Our Engineering Processes

Technology

Tatis is an implementer of a COTS (Custom Off The Shelf) solution in the Revenue Management domain using an Oracle product called PSRM (Public Sector Revenue Management). Other related Oracle products used during implementation are Java, Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Database, PSRM Tax Analytics, OBIEE, BI Publisher, Oracle Documaker and Oracle Linux.

Methodology

The development methodology used is based on the Oracle Unified Methodology (OUM). OUM’s implementation focus provides a framework to develop and to implement technology-based business solutions with precise development and rapid deployment.

We adhere to a test-driven development approach, where the business requirements are turned into test cases. The development effort is then focused on passing the tests. We believe that this shortens the development life cycle, due to a strict focus implied in the development effort. This also results in quicker acceptance by the client, due to the test focus having been applied throughout the process.

Our Hiring Process

What you can expect when you apply:

Our recruiting process is rigorous, but fair, and we never forget that you’re interviewing us, as much as we’re interviewing you.

Your final interview will be a thorough discussion of the successes, failures and important decisions in your history. Along the way you’ll have the opportunity to visit our office, meet our employees, explore our ways of working and ask as many questions as you like.

If who you are resonates with our culture, and you have the required software engineering and business skills, we’d love to chat to you.
