Our World, Better

Today is International Workers’ Day and we’d like to take a moment to appreciate the hard work our team members put in, day in and day out. 

It’s your drive, talent, and dedication to our clients that have helped Tantus tackle challenges and solve the problems that matter. 

Happy International Workers’ Day team, we appreciate all that you do!

To the amazing mothers, especially those working within our Tantus Tech family, we recognize all the hard work that you do everyday, and today, we celebrate YOU!

At Tantus Tech, we understand the value of family and strive to be a place where our team members can continue to grow and learn while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

We feel honored to work alongside such strong women, mothers, and team members. We wish you a Happy Mother’s Day!

When tackling complex problems, it’s important not only to arrive at answers that work, but to establish key project outcomes early on, and determine how they can serve as guideposts to improve the overall quality of the solutions your team has to offer.

We pride ourselves on examining projects holistically from day one to help determine how we can help clients reach their goals quickly and efficiently, in a way that is tailored to address their unique needs.

Recently, we had the opportunity to work on automating required travel cost comparisons for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) using Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Every other week, our CMS clients travel to care settings to ensure that the CMS standards of care are being met, following federal travel regulations. 

In automating this step, we have reduced administrative burden and saved the equivalent of over 1,000 hours across these surveyors over the course of a year.

One of the best things about Tantus is working with all of the talented individuals that make up our team.

Meet Doug Brown, our Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Solutions Director. With over 16 years experience working in Medicare programs and data, Doug ensures that the solutions we deliver take into account the CMS policy context, have CMS’ mission and vision infused into the work we do, and keep the CMS beneficiaries forefront in our efforts.

Thanks Doug for everything that you do!

This Memorial Day, the Tantus Tech family recognizes the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice serving this great nation. We also recognize the continued sacrifice of the spouses, children, and other family members they’ve left behind. 

Today, we wish hope and healing for those grieving the loss of family or friends through active duty service.

I grew up in a large Indian-Chinese family in Vienna with many of my extended family members living on the same street. Our family gatherings and Sunday dinners, you can imagine, were usually packed! 

My mother always hosted, made massive amounts of food for everyone, and was (still is) the life of the party! I have been honored to witness her undeniable selflessness and care, and appreciate the support she has given me throughout my life.

Today, I want to wish my mother and all mothers a Happy Mother's Day. The work you do for your families and the people around you does not go unnoticed. 

#Tech #TantusTech #MothersDay

One thing that I’ve realized over the course of my career is that loss and success often go hand in hand. 

Everyone has their off days, the things that don’t go quite right, and the flat out failures. The key is to turn these hurdles into fuel for your next success. You won’t win every project proposal and sometimes you’ll miss out on the opportunities that you really want to pursue. Reflect on the moment and apply the lessons learned to help you succeed at your next adventure. Every opportunity is a learning experience and it’s up to you to capitalize on all life has to offer.

How have your losses fueled your success?

Being a mother is not always easy, especially when you find yourself filling the role of both parents. Early on, I felt an unbelievable amount of pressure to be the perfect mom while trying to juggle work. At one point, I realized that the idea of the “perfect mom” and “perfect employee” just wasn’t realistic. 

I spent time thinking about my priorities and made a list of what I really wanted for my career and my children. “Perfect” wasn’t on that list, but “happy, thriving, and stable” were. I realized it’s more important to find what works for you and your unique situation. We may not have a sit-down dinner every night or game nights, but my kids feel loved and Tantus keeps growing and that feels just perfect to me. 

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms finding their version of perfect in our imperfect worlds. And Happy Mother’s Day to all caretakers pulling “mom duty”, you provide the love, guidance and support our children need.

Thank you to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. May we never forget that freedom isn't free.

In memory of SPC Ben Garrison, who was killed in action November 27, 2007 in Iraq.

An essential key to steady growth within a company is having an inclusive culture.

An inclusive culture pulls its individuals from different talent pools. It ensures its teams are filled with diverse members from differing backgrounds who, together, gather people with a wide variety of strengths and talents.

Diverse teams are crucial for driving innovation and creativity within a company. They increase the company's overall productivity and ultimately lead to success and growth for the corporation as a whole.

I take pride in working at Tantus Tech, where our development and growth is owed to the various skills and talents that our diverse team members bring to the table every day.

How is an inclusive culture growing your organization?

Growing up, I learned from my Mom to not compromise on family. She went to all our events, made dinners from scratch every night, and was my emotional rock when I needed her. She did this while moving us to a new continent far from her own family, restarting her career, and navigating a new culture and set of expectations. It's hard to express how much I respect, appreciate, and love my Mom.

I hope I am able to be as much of a positive influence in my two amazing daughters' lives, although I must admit that dinners are not always from scratch in our house. And I am so grateful to all who have helped "mother" my girls in some way - it truly does take a village. I am also very grateful to work at Tantus, where the value of family is prioritized, just like I learned from my Mom.

Cheers to all those who are Moms or have a Mom role in some way - you are amazing!

I’ve been working in the IT arena for over 25 years. Even though a lot of things are very different from when I started, there are certain skills I look for in potential team members that haven’t changed much along the way. If I could give candidates one piece of advice on the skills they need to succeed in the tech world today, I would tell them to develop skills that go beyond the resume.

Most candidates will have experience in technical skills. These are critically important and require time and practice to master. But what REALLY separates leaders in the tech space is HOW they apply soft skills on the job. “Soft skills” - the core of developing relationships - are what drive growth at any workplace. Skills like:

Active listening
Interpersonal communication
Critical thinking

All of these attributes foster stronger client relationships and, ultimately, higher quality deliverables.

What skills are you looking for in your candidates?

#TantusTech #techskills #skilldevelopment

My father was a man who always listened to and supported me. He taught me to aspire to make my dreams a reality.

Even in his success, my father always valued humility and perseverance. He instilled in me the value of hard work above all else. Through watching my father, I learned to be loving, kind, and compassionate.

I will always cherish the moments I had with him.

On this Father’s Day, I want to recognize the lasting impact that all fathers have on the people in their lives.

Happy Father’s Day!

#FathersDay #Inspiration #Rolemodel

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the increasing role women are playing in technology. It seems like more and more women are entering traditionally male-dominated careers, but are still leading from behind the scenes.

One of my personal goals is to empower female leaders and encourage more women to enter roles that allow them to be front and center. Whether you’re a young professional just starting off or a mom of two young boys (like me!) looking to get back into the workplace, I promise there is a role for you in the tech sector.

Today, 72% of women in tech are regularly outnumbered by men in business meetings by at least a 2:1 ratio.

When we promote women to positions of leadership and encourage them to be more visible toward clients and the company, we change that mentality.

I’m proud to be a part of a company that is leading the way in empowering our female teammates to achieve their greatest potential. When individual workplaces create supportive communities, we chart the path forward to achieving equality across the tech industry.

What are you doing to empower women in your workplace?

Earlier this month, my son began a Women’s History project for one of his classes. I was surprised when he came to me and told me his choice was Jen Welter - the first female coach in the NFL. As a part of the project, he had to create a visual display. I was amazed at his final creation - a LEGO set with ten or so football players and a miniature “Coach Jen” in the center.

I started thinking about the way we see women in society. Too often, we still think of women in roles where their job includes assisting men or helping from behind the scenes. Recently, there’s been a push to highlight the unique leadership roles and trailblazing careers women have achieved in tech and politics.

I was so proud of my son for choosing a woman who picked a career in a field hardly associated with female leaders. It’s a reminder that every day, women are changing the world and making history across the board.

I think we could all take a reminder from Hudson’s project to never doubt what women can achieve.

From helping raise children to pursuing fulfilling careers, Father’s Day is about recognizing the people who do it all. Especially in today's workforce, so many dads juggle multiple obligations, not the least of which may involve being a single parent or role model!

Take a few moments today to think about your dad or father figure - and the many ways they have impacted your life. Each of us has our own story, but I think one simple quote sums it up best:

“A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow.”

Happy Father’s Day!

As a female leader in tech, it’s important to create a positive change in the lives of those around me, especially among women. While my day job is COO, my career has positioned me to be a supporter and advocate for all women in the #techindustry.

Nobody is able to achieve success alone, and that’s why it’s so important to share the advice that has helped me grow as a woman and a professional:
Focus on the foundations. Develop the skill sets that match the trends in technology today.
Build a peer network that supports you and helps you build your band.
Become a sponsor or mentor, which will support another’s career growth, while establishing your credentials and keeping up sharp.
Don’t just aim for a seat at someone else’s table - claim credit for your ideas and sit at the head of your own table.

When we support each other not just as women in tech, but as female leaders in a fast-paced field, we create the positive change we hope to see throughout the tech industry.
