What Tezza Business Solutions does

Tezza Business Solutions is a privately held, bootstrapped IT services firm founded in 1999 in Overland Park, Kansas by Roland Oladeji Omoresemi, with operational hubs in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania. The company originated as a software QA and testing specialist and now operates across Testing as a Service (TaaS), staff augmentation, cybersecurity, AI automation, custom software development, and corporate training, supported by a portfolio of six proprietary platforms (Connect, Kuulimah, TezzaCRM, AKU, CrossDash, Welkom) and sub-brands including Timewise Consulting, DigiTezz, TezzaDev, and Tezza Academy. Its customer base is concentrated in African financial services — including tier-one banks such as Stanbic, UBA, Equity, NCBA, Fidelity, FCMB, and Union — with adjacent presence in insurance (Britam, Premium Pension), public sector (Kenya Revenue Authority), and healthcare (Novant Health). Tezza monetizes primarily through project-based and multi-year professional services contracts plus a recurring TaaS subscription, delivered via direct enterprise sales without public pricing. The firm has no external funding, has executed only minor event partnerships (HP, IBM) and one AI-focused alliance (Agorai, 2020), and has productized several internal tools that anchor cross-sell into its enterprise accounts.
