About Clarus

Clarus is a values-driven IT consulting firm. We help companies improve how they deliver IT projects. Formed in 2006, Clarus' core purpose is to improve the business of IT. This purpose is what unifies all our people and motivates us. Clarus is all about making a difference and we do this three ways:


Consulting – Where Clarus takes the risk (delivery risk, ownership risk etc) to deliver projects or services.

Resourcing – where Clarus provides skilled consultants to clients to supplement project teams. This is a Managed Service run by Clarus – i.e.  all people (whether they are permanent or contract) work for Clarus and we are accountable for managing them.

Mentored Learning – designed to build clients internal capability in a range of areas including Agile, Business Analysis, Software Testing, Project Management, and Architecture. We do this via a mixture of training and coaching with a simple objective – teach the client to do this themselves so they no longer need us.

Clarus' Values underpin everything we do. Our values determine our behaviour and what is expected of everyone at Clarus. It is also what gets us all out of bed in the morning.

When we are faced with a given situation, trying to make a decision, are communicating with others we refer back to our core values for guidance. These values are foundational to our core purpose, direction and “soul” as company. We are passionate about these values. We hope you are too.

Clarus is a values-driven IT consulting firm committed existing in harmony with our social and physical environment. We value being able to control your own destiny, which is why we make microloans to people who really need some help and are less fortunate than us via Kiva. It is a hand up, rather than a hand out and these loans change lives.
Yanapiri Group - Bolivia

The loan will increase her working capital (purchase fruit), which she will sell at her stall. This form of work allows her to generate resources to support her family, as she is married with two children.

Angelica - Bolivia

Angelica lives in Chimoré, 160 kilometers from Cochabamba. She walks about selling food wherever there are many people gathered and is now considered among diners to be one of the best.

Adjoa Amoasi - Ghana

Adjoa has been selling cosmetics at Kokoado in Elmina for eight years. She is a widow and has five children and is responsible for paying her children's school fees. She hopes to use the new profits from her business to create a store for her cosmetics so that she can educate her children to the college level.  Adjoa's loan will be used to buy more cosmetics.
