Technology Problem-Solving Partner
The People Who Make Technology Work for Business
Technology is changing how work gets done. Tarkenton helps organizations turn that change into operational advantage. We work with you as a long-term technology partner to solve business challenges that off-the-shelf tools cannot fix.
Bring us the business challenge. We'll help you find the right path, build the right solution, and keep improving it.
The Market Tension
When technology pressure becomes a business problem.
Organizations are under pressure to modernize, but more tools do not automatically create progress.
The harder questions are operational:
- Which workflows are slowing us down?
- How do we connect systems, data, people, and process?
- Where can AI add value?
- What should we build?
- How do we move faster without creating more complexity?
Tarkenton starts by understanding the work: the people involved, the systems in place, the friction slowing progress, and the outcome that matters.
We bring together business judgment, technology strategy, software development, AI implementation, automation, and long-term support to help organizations move from uncertainty to execution.
We're not interested in selling a tool; we want to help you solve a problem, empower your people, and serve your customers.
What We Help With

Our Story
Helping people is still the point.
Tarkenton was founded by Fran Tarkenton, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and entrepreneur.
Fran's philosophy is simple: the mission of business is to help people.
That belief still shapes how Tarkenton works today. We believe technology should make teams better, help people do better work, and solve real problems for customers, employees, partners, and communities.
In a market full of hype, shortcuts, and silver-bullet promises, Tarkenton brings a different mindset: understand the challenge, make the team better, protect what matters, and keep improving after the first win.
Is this you?
Does this sound familiar?
Tarkenton is a strong fit when the challenge crosses teams, systems, workflows, data, customer experience, and business outcomes.
Multiple systems, unclear ownership
Manual work slowing the team down
AI interest without a clear roadmap
Internal teams stretched thin
Sensitive data, privacy, or trust concerns
A solution that needs to keep improving after launch
If several of these are true, the next step is not another tool demo. It is a focused conversation about the business challenge.

Safer AI adoption starts with control.
AI can create enormous value, but businesses need control over the information moving through AI-enabled tools.
pipIQ by Tarkenton helps protect sensitive business, customer, employee, client, and partner data as teams bring AI into real workflows.
It creates a governed layer between people, systems, knowledge sources, and the AI models organizations choose to use, both for internal operations and inside SaaS products.
