Our services & solutions
Catalyst and Te Tiriti
We're on our own te ao Māori journey and committed to being a good Te Tiriti partner. We offer technology approaches that may use Māori data governance frameworks, or a different approach of your choosing. We're guided by you as the experts in your world, and Kaihuawaere Matihiko at Catalyst. We commit to listening and learning before building, offering systems that don't get in the way of tino rangatiratanga, the choice to host data where it's right for you, and the freedom to leave us if we stop being useful to you and your kaupapa.
