Testimonials.
Real Stories, Real Results.
"I’ve known Christopher Talke professionally for many years and can highly recommend him for any IT services. He was instrumental in designing and training staff on an in-house Quality Assurance system.
Chris has profound knowledge across various software platforms, business software, and internal system development, and when he didn't he would further his knowledge to ensure a full understanding of our systems.
Chris stands out for his down-to-earth approach, explaining technical matters in clear, understandable terms, and only recommending what’s necessary."
"Chris implemented a missed delivery system that significantly reduced administrative overhead and allowed our team to focus on the business.
This solution enabled employees to drop off missed delivery notices, while customers could easily rebook without needing to call the depot.
The system saved us valuable time and improved our ability to ensure timely deliveries for our customers."
"Chris implemented a digital form solution that drastically reduced paper usage across our service areas. The automated data entry process streamlined operations and optimized data input, significantly improving efficiency.
He has worked closely with our team to provide training, ensuring we became self-sufficient. As a result, the system has been running smoothly with minimal external support for years."

About Me.
Who's behind Talke Tech Consulting?
G'day, I'm Christopher Talke.
I'm a Coffs Harbour local, I've lived here for most of my life, and I love the community and the lifestyle that the Coffs Coast offers.
I'm a business technology consultant with 8+ years experience in helping businesses like yours improve their operations. I've worked with all kinds of businesses, from individuals to small local companies to larger organizations, and have seen first-hand how technology can make a big difference in the way people work.
Over the years, I've helped clients save time and reduce costs by evaluating their business systems, and integrating software/automating repetitive tasks where it made sense to invest. I focus on making sure the solutions I deliver help businesses run more smoothly and efficiently, so you can focus on what really matters, growing your business and serving your customers.
My background in the ICT industry gives me a solid understanding of both the technical side of things and the bigger picture. Whether it's improving day-to-day operations, helping businesses go through major digital changes, providing analytical insights, I know how to use technology to solve real world problems.
What sets me apart is my passion for technology and my unique learning journey. I am completely self-taught, I hold various industry certificates and have undertaken tertiary study to deepen my technical knowledge. I dedicate much of my free time to coding for fun, automating tasks in my own life, and contributing to open source tools. I've built projects that benefit the community through public services, always staying curious and up-to-date with emerging technologies.
This combination of formal education, industry certifications, and hands-on experience allows me to solve problems creatively and efficiently, while continually pushing the limits of what technology can do to support businesses.
In summary, my goal is to help you get the most out of your technology so it works for you, your empoloyees and your business.

What are the areas you do not specialize in?
While I specialize in many areas, there are certain services outside my focus.I prefer to concentrate on what I do best and enjoy the most.
So, this means I don't:
-
Build Viral/Go-To-Market Apps;
Developing an app with the intent to "go viral" or "go to market" is a significant investment and a complex, high-risk endeavor. My expertise is better suited for creating sustainable, practical solutions that improve operations and deliver measurable value to your business. -
Graphic Design or Marketing;
I don't handle logo creation, branding or marketing materials. I am creative, but my focus is on the technical side of things, not the visual design or a marketing strategy. -
Web Design;
While I have experience with web development (I built this one), I don't build websites, I focus on business operations and automation since that is my bread and butter. -
IT Support;
I don’t provide general IT support like troubleshooting hardware, fixing software, or maintaining networks. However, if it directly relates to my solutions, I can assist. For broader IT needs, I’m happy to refer you to trusted professionals in my network.
For other specialized needs, I prefer to refer you to experts in those fields, and I’ll gladly connect you with someone in my trusted network who can provide the support you need.

I’m happy to discuss your requirements and offer guidance on the best approach for your business.
How can I trust you to deliver?
If you're unsure, we can start with a small, low-risk project to build confidence in my ability to meet your needs. I believe in transparent communication and provide regular updates throughout the process to keep you informed at every step.
My goal is to build long-term relationships with clients by delivering solutions that genuinely support your business objectives.
Isn't building custom software risky?
Yes, building custom software can be risky; any new project comes with its own set of challenges. However, the key to minimizing risk is to ensure that we're making the right decisions from the very beginning. That’s why we start with a consultation phase, where we discuss your business needs and goals to determine if a custom solution is the right fit for you.
During the consultation, we'll evaluate your objectives, the scope of the project, and the potential benefits and challenges. If we move forward, we enter the feasibility phase, which involves a detailed analysis of the proposed solution. This study helps me assess whether it's a worthwhile investment at your business’s current stage, or if there might be alternative solutions that could better meet your needs.
I'm committed to minimizing risks for both of us. Throughout the process, I'll take every measure to ensure that the software we build together aligns with your needs, is scalable, and delivers real value to your business. We believe that the right planning, communication, and transparency are key to making sure you’re comfortable with every decision.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Reach out to schedule a free consultation where we can discuss your business needs and explore whether my services align with your goals.
If we decide to proceed, I can provide a quote for a feasibility study. This paid study helps assess whether the proposed solution is a worthwhile investment for your business at its current stage or if alternative options might be better suited.
My priority is ensuring that any investment you make in technology delivers real value to your business. This approach ensures that we move in the right direction from the start.

Whilst I have a wide array of experience, I'm not superhuman. I do refer to the manual to ensure I'm doing things correctly, and I'm always learning new things. I'm not afraid to say "I don't know, but I'll find a way".
If you're not a programmer; one thing to understand is that documentation is king. It’s much more about knowing where to look for key information to solve problems.
The programming landscape is constantly evolving, it would be impractical to remember everything, and I focus on understanding what I need to know, when its required to solve specific problems.
