You can't hire your way to a data capability.
Sixty-two percent of council staff lack the data skills their roles need, and half of councils can't recruit or keep data specialists (LGA survey, 2024).
So we build it with you instead: one warehouse for your data, one dashboard layer bespoke to your institution, and your team trained on the stack as it goes up.
Your data isn't missing. It's siloed.
MIS, HR, payroll, finance and estates each hold a piece. Education is no different from local government here: the sector's own literature is a catalogue of silo problems.
All four figures: LGA data capacity and capability survey, October to December 2024.
A warehouse, then the dashboards it earns.
The same pattern works as a data warehouse for local government and for education: source systems differ, the joins don't.
- A warehouse across your source systems — MIS, HR, payroll, finance and estates joined into one queryable layer. Not a big-bang IT programme: built incrementally, people-data first, proving value with the first dashboard before the next is funded.
- A dashboard overlay bespoke to your institution — principals see curriculum staffing economics; trust boards see cross-school workforce comparisons; council directors see agency spend and attrition in real time. People analytics for education, built on your own numbers.
- One definition of every number — headcount, attrition, agency cost, pay, hiring and development measured one way across the whole institution, so board papers stop being a negotiation.
- Askable data — AI over your own documents and data, with every answer verified against the source. The client portal on this site is a working example.
Capability transfer is the deliverable.
Your team learns the stack as we build it: named internal owners on the work from day one, documentation as we go, and the keys handed over while we're still in the room.
When we leave, you can run it and extend it. And because of Software that stays, you keep the tooling itself: your tenancy, your licence, no exit fee.
That's the answer to a recruitment market where you can't hire the specialists: stop needing to.
