About the Client

Our client is a Massachusetts-based organization that supports school districts, municipalities, and education non-profits by providing custom-built visualization dashboards to give leaders the information they need to make data-informed decisions.

We are driven by a deep sense of service to our clients and the students they serve, and eagerly get into the trenches to help solve our clients’ problems.
