Building a government or education platform? Talk to our team

McAriel Consult

About McAriel Consult

For more than 15 years we have built software for government agencies, educational organisations and private enterprises across Africa and beyond. Our purpose is reliable, easy-to-use IT services, SaaS products and custom applications.

How we think about the work

Most failed technology projects do not fail at the code. They fail because nobody agreed on the problem, or because the system was built for a demo and not for the people who run it on a Tuesday.

So we start with the process and the numbers, build in small increments you can test, and stay on after launch. Our engineers answer to the clients they build for.
