End-to-end IT,
delivered anywhere.
Software, cloud, networking, hardware, and cybersecurity for South African public-sector and mid-market clients. Remote-first. On-site when it matters.
The stack we build on
Production-grade tools we ship with, not a marketing checklist.
Ten years building IT systems that hold up.
Tharage Consulting is the IT services subsidiary of Tharage Group. We cover the full stack: software, cloud, cybersecurity, hardware procurement, and network infrastructure.
We work with clients across South Africa and internationally. Most engagements run remotely; when a project needs hands on the rack or boots in the building, we place dedicated resources on-site without the overhead of a traditional IT firm.
We operate as a small senior team. The engineer scoping your work is usually the engineer doing it. Decisions get made in days, not steering committees.

Cost in writing before any work begins.
We scope, price, and put it on paper before you commit. No bait-and-bill.
Remote-first. On-site when it matters.
Most work runs remotely on encrypted access. Boots on the ground is a tool, not a billing model.
If “no” is the right answer, that’s what we’ll tell you.
We decline work we’re not best-suited for. Saves everyone time, and the referral is usually better than the pitch.
Who we work with
From national departments to single-operator businesses. Every engagement scoped to fit.
Public service
National and provincial departments. Procurement-shaped engagement, security-first design, compliance documented from day one.
Parastatals
State-owned enterprises and SOCs. Multi-year infrastructure programmes, integration with legacy systems, vendor coordination.
Private companies
SMEs and corporates from 20 to 500 staff. Software builds, cloud moves, network rebuilds, on-call support.
Private persons
Independent professionals and family offices. Concierge IT, secure workstations, occasional custom development.
What we deliver
Eight service areas. One team. No handoffs between vendors when scope shifts.
Software Development
Web and desktop applications. React, Angular, Node, Python, Java, .NET. Built to ship, not to demo.
Cloud Solutions
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud. Migrations, greenfield builds, and the unglamorous work of keeping cloud bills sane.
Cybersecurity
Endpoint hardening, network segmentation, MFA rollouts, POPIA-aligned controls. Less talking, more locking down.
Mobile Development
Native iOS and Android, or cross-platform with React Native and Flutter. Built for the network conditions your users actually have.
IT Consulting
A second opinion on the stack you're about to buy. A roadmap that survives the next budget cycle. Calls returned the same day.
Digital Transformation
Replacing paper, spreadsheets, and shadow IT with systems that talk to each other. One process at a time.
Hardware Solutions
Procurement, configuration, and lifecycle management of servers, workstations, and IT equipment.
Networking
Design, implementation, and support of secure wired and wireless network infrastructure.
Remote, on-site, or both. Your call.
Pick the model that fits the engagement. Most work runs remotely, on secure encrypted access. For projects that need a physical presence, we place dedicated resources at your premises. Same team. Same quality. Your call.

How an engagement starts.
No tenders dressed up as discovery. No proposals written before the conversation. We listen first, scope clearly, and put the cost in writing before any work begins.
Book a first call-
01
First call. 30 minutes. No charge.
You talk through what you're trying to solve. We ask the questions that matter for scoping. No deck, no pitch. The outcome is either a clear way to engage, or an honest referral if we're not the right fit.
-
02
Scoped proposal. Fixed terms.
A written scope with deliverables, timeline, and cost in rands. Fixed-price where the work is well-defined, time-and-materials with a hard cap where it isn't. No auto-renewals.
-
03
Pilot, then full engagement.
For larger projects we often start with a one or two week paid pilot. You see how we work before committing further. Whatever happens next, everything we produce stays yours.
