Flexible data consultancy services that optimise performance, streamline processes, and empower education organisations to manage and evolve their data systems with confidence.
Context
A leading education and professional training provider partnered with Objective for ongoing SQL & Data consultancy to modernise its data infrastructure and improve reporting efficiency.
Working with major organisations across the private and public sectors — including over 30% of the FTSE 100 — the provider delivers accredited management and digital skills programmes that combine technology with personal learning experiences.
The Challenge
The organisation sought a flexible SQL & Data consultancy partner for education, capable of providing on-demand expertise to optimise their data systems and enhance the performance of their cloud-based infrastructure.
They needed specialist support with Microsoft Azure and SQL Server, focusing on improving data integration pipelines, strengthening reporting accuracy, and ensuring system scalability to meet growing data demands.
The Solution

- SQL optimisation — improving query performance, reliability, and efficiency.
- Knowledge sharing — up-skilling internal teams to maintain and adapt the enhanced systems.
- HubSpot Integration – system integration services to artfully connect marketing data to operational data.
The flexible, “switch on/switch off” consultancy model allowed the organisation to access technical expertise as needed without long-term commitment — ideal for the fast-moving education sector.
