About Core Mtaalam

Mtaalam is Swahili for expert — the name is the promise. Enterprise software, IT systems and monitoring platforms engineered in Nairobi and deployed wherever your business runs.

Our story

From ERP trenches to building our own platforms

For over 15 years we led ERP implementations and ran enterprise IT for manufacturing, agriculture, dairy, banking and professional services — SAP Business One, SYSPRO, IBM enterprise deployments across six African countries.

That experience exposed a gap. Organisations were paying for a patchwork of commercial tools — an RMM here, a monitoring suite there, a SIEM somewhere else — that never talked to each other and still left servers unprotected.

So we built KIFAA, PingTick, JengaDev and a full ERP suite of our own. Today Core Mtaalam Technologies delivers the same enterprise-grade capability with platforms we own, understand line by line, and can adapt to any business within days — not quarters.

Meet the founder

Antony Njagi Kigundu — Enterprise IT & ERP Consultant. Consulted and delivered across many sectors — manufacturing, agribusiness, dairy, banking, aviation and professional services — in several countries. Led full ERP lifecycles for SAP Business One, SYSPRO and ERPNext; architected our own platforms including KIFAA and PingTick; and deployed enterprise solutions end to end: infrastructure, security, ERP and the web.

How we work

Principles we do not compromise on

01

Your data stays yours

We build self-hosted platforms you own outright. No surprise per-seat fees, no lock-in, no telemetry farming. If you can run a server, you can run our software.

02

Boring reliability wins

Backups before migrations, rollback plans before changes, monitoring before problems. We have seen what downtime costs a factory floor — we design against it.

03

Security is a process

SIEM visibility, patch discipline, phishing simulation and least-privilege access — not a checkbox at the end of a project.

04

Plain speaking

You will get honest estimates, honest timelines and honest “this can wait” advice. We would rather lose a sale than sell you something you do not need.
