Consultancy
Jacobs
Jacobs operates globally and has a diverse clientele, including governments, municipalities, private corporations, and industrial clients. The company’s mission is to provide innovative and sustainable solutions to complex challenges, helping clients improve their infrastructure, operations, and environmental performance. With an extensive range of projects globally we helped them develop a standardised project management data platform that can be used across global projects.
We utilised technologies such as Cosmos DB, Databricks, Python and Synapse to deliver a standardised data reporting platform.
OFS
The Office for Students (OfS) is a government-regulated organization in England responsible for overseeing and regulating higher education providers. It was established in 2018 to replace the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Office for Fair Access (OFFA). The primary role of the Office for Students is to ensure that the higher education system in England operates effectively and in the best interests of students. The OFS collects many sets of data from universities and other academic institutions.
We helped the OFS develop a data quality checking system that can automate many of the data quality checks they were previously carrying out semi-manually. This enabled staff to focus on what matters and took away some of the day-to-day workload. The system developed was extensible and so could be configured without any re-coding of the system. Technologies utilised included JSON, Databricks, Python and SQL server.
Quintain
Quintain primarily focused on property development, specializing in large-scale urban regeneration projects. They were known for their involvement in transforming areas into vibrant and sustainable mixed-use developments.
Wembley Park: One of Quintain’s most prominent projects was the regeneration of Wembley Park, a district in Northwest London. They aimed to create a new urban neighbourhood around Wembley Stadium, featuring residential properties, commercial spaces, entertainment venues, and public amenities.
We developed a data warehouse for Quintain to help them analyse their Sales for data and property energy consumption data. We developed this in Synapse, data factory and used CI/CD as an integral part of the development cycle.
DHL
DHL is a well known brand that is a global logistics company which provides a wide range of services related to shipping, courier, and supply chain management. DHL is part of the larger Deutsche Post DHL Group, a global logistics and postal services company based in Germany.

Intelligent Insurance
Intelligent insurance was a start up insurance company that specialised in insuring properties that most mainstream insurers would not. There Unique selling point is that they were able to analyse risks of difficult to insure properties more effectively so that they could be insured.

We also helped them interact with insurance aggregators such as compare the market and GoCompare.com
