We offer Full Support Across 8 Product Stages, so you're never handed off between teams partway through:
Every engagement starts with a paid Discovery Sprint, so you have a clear scope and fixed-price proposal before committing to full development.

Both. We've built for individual schools, multi-school Education and Training Boards (ETBs), and privately funded institutions. We're familiar with Department of Education compliance and reporting requirements either way.
Irish hosting by default, not just EU hosting. For education data, especially with DEIS schools or younger students, that distinction matters, and we build to it as standard rather than as a paid add-on.
Not necessarily. Much of our work involves integrating with what you already use, rather than replacing a system your staff are already trained on.
It scales both ways. Some of our builds are for a single school with a specific problem to solve; others are for ETBs managing dozens of schools. The approach is the same either way: solve your actual problem, not a generic one.
We're used to it. Irish education budgets and approvals tend to move on an academic-year rhythm, and we plan Discovery Sprints and delivery timelines around that, rather than assuming a typical SaaS sales calendar.
That depends on your institution's own policy, but we build every AI feature to hold up under GDPR and the EU AI Act from the start, and can talk through governance and oversight controls with your DPO or IT lead before anything is built.
They usually do, and we plan for it. Every project starts with a paid Discovery Sprint specifically so scope is agreed before full development, but we work in stages so changes don't mean starting over.
We can build multi-language support, including Irish, where it's needed. Flag it during Discovery and we'll scope it in from the start rather than bolting it on later.
You do. It's your platform, your data, and your codebase. We're the team that builds and can continue supporting it, not a vendor that locks you into a subscription for something you can't take elsewhere.
