What our customers say

The people at Objective remain friendly, efficient and responsive and over a decade of working together I am really pleased that I chose them as my development partners.
Patrick Walkington, Managing Director

Gainsmore

Having worked with Objective IT for a number of years with developing our online buying portal – the next step for us to improve our customer experience was to integrate an app to the service. This would allow for faster searching , a simpler display and better functionality for our customers using the app ‘on the road’

FJ Church & Sons Ltd

We found the Objective team very flexible and accommodating. When previously agreed dates for database and reporting consultancy needed changing at short notice, and extra days on site were required, Objective proved very helpful. This is not the case with all tech companies.

Yogesh Gopal, Managing Director

Everglade Windows Limited

Objective helped us open the way to faster and more informed defence analysis. With the Military Balance+ we can provide clients and subscribers with more data, more often, for more users. The team at Objective impressed us from the first day with a clear focus on our needs, the flexibility and determination to deliver against complex requirements, and their constructive, collaborative attitude.

The Military Balance+ allows subscribers in the government, armed forces and private sector, as well as academics and the media, to assess defence developments promptly and build their own data analysis queries. Objective developed the new defence budget forecast tool, which is an exciting addition to the Military Balance+ and is the first to use an econometric algorithm to consider up to 45 variables simultaneously to determine a 15-year outlook.

Fenella McGerty, Senior Fellow for Defence Economics

IISS

Objective worked flexibly with us to complete a variety of tasks in Azure, predominantly Data Factory, and with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The skilled and friendly consultants worked closely with us to understand our requirements and business needs. The solutions delivered enabled us to improve our ETL process and upskill staff, so they were confident in maintaining it.

Kate Rudd, Head of Data & Reporting
