Company/About
We do one thing,and we have done it for years.
Data and analytics for organisations with many systems, delivered from a codebase rather than rebuilt from scratch for every customer.
In short
- Trading as itelligent-i since 2002
- Civica, Microsoft and Databricks partner
- Nine accelerators and 46 report modules built
- On G-Cloud 15 and Matrix for public sector buyers
How we work
Four things we will not do
Easier to judge a supplier by what they refuse than by what they promise, so here are ours. They do not change according to who is buying.
We will not leave you on an open-ended day rate
The subscription is a fixed annual price, because a supplier paid by the day to keep something running has no reason to finish, and anyone who has sat through a programme like that knows it. Bespoke work is billed by the day while it is being built, then consumed into the subscription contract rather than staying on the meter. Advice is sold by the day too — buy as much or as little of it as you want.
We do not start with a blank page
The framework and the modules already exist. If we are designing your reporting from nothing, you are paying for something we should have brought with us.
We are clear about what you own
Your data is yours and never leaves your tenancy. Bespoke work we build for you is yours to keep. The subscription is a subscription — the platform and the accelerators run while you subscribe, and come out if you stop.
We do not guess at your definitions
The people who run your services confirm how your organisation counts things. Numbers nobody recognises get argued with rather than used.

Partnerships
We work alongside, not instead of
Most of what we connect to belongs to somebody else, and that relationship is part of the job rather than an obstacle to it. These are the ones worth naming.
Microsoft
Where an organisation is already on Microsoft, the platform runs on Azure and Fabric and the reporting lands in Power BI they already own and know how to use. Where they are on AWS or Google Cloud, it runs there instead — we build on the stack you have rather than asking you to adopt another one.
CGI
We work alongside CGI on engagements where they hold the wider IT estate. Analytics has to sit inside someone else’s architecture and someone else’s change process, and doing that well is a relationship rather than an integration.
Civica
We are a Civica partner, and Civica MDM — formerly MultiVue — is how fourteen systems get reconciled into one view of a person every morning. That is the hardest part of what we do, and we did not build it ourselves.
Databricks
A Databricks partnership, for the estates where the lakehouse is the right answer and the volumes justify it. Another platform we can build the same framework on rather than another thing to sell you.
Qubix
Qubix commissioned us to support the data and analytics on a large Oracle deployment in central government. Where their expertise and ours complement each other, the work gets the people it needs rather than the people who happen to be free.
Who we work for
Public services and private businesses, on the same framework
Most of our deployments are in public services, and the same platform and framework run for private businesses. The discipline does not change with the sector, and neither does the codebase. We sit alongside your existing suppliers rather than in place of them.
- Local authorities
- Housing associations
- NHS organisations
- Central government
- Online retail
- Shared service partnerships
How to buy
Directly, or through a framework
Private sector buyers contract with us directly — no framework, no procurement exercise, and a price agreed before anything starts.
Public sector buyers can use G-Cloud 15 or Matrix, which means a council, housing association or NHS organisation can buy without running a separate procurement.
Come and ask us something difficult
We would rather have a short honest conversation than send you a brochure.
