Tikal is a technology consultancy founded in 1999 by Lior Kanfi, with over 25 years of experience embedding expert engineers directly into client teams. Rather than offering advisory services from the outside, Tikal's consultants integrate with a client's existing engineering organisation, operating as part of the team to help scale R&D capacity and deliver technical outcomes.
The firm covers a broad range of technical domains, including AI/ML, Backend and Data, DevOps, Fullstack, and cloud-native architectures. Engagements range from placing a single specialist to deploying full cross-domain squads, depending on what a client's project requires. Tikal has handled complex technical undertakings such as microservices transformations, data lake implementations, and cloud-native migrations. The company counts 50+ DevOps professionals among its staff.
Beyond client work, Tikal founded and continues to drive the Israeli Tech Radar, a resource that tracks technology trends and best practices within the Israeli tech ecosystem. The firm operates primarily out of Israel.
