Project Summary

Eleks was engaged in 2001 to support SQL database work and expanded into multiyear custom development across mobile, web and desktop tools. They developed a centralized internal productivity platform and unified desktop application that lets SQL experts generate and run scripts, and the vendor continues to support and migrate other desktop applications into that platform. The client highlights Eleks' technical talent, strong communication, and long-term partnership approach.

Key Challenges

  • Difficulty sourcing local talent in Minneapolis
  • 140 users required SQL expertise and year-by-year data organization
  • Numerous unorganized SQL scripts across servers
  • Varying skill levels among staff

Project Deliverables

  • Internal productivity tool (central repository for analytics)
  • Unified desktop application for running generated SQL scripts
  • Extended SQL language with additional functionality
  • Centralized platform consolidating disconnected desktop applications

Project Solution

Eleks built a centralized internal productivity platform and a unified desktop application that serves as a repository for client analytics and an execution surface for generated SQL scripts. They extended the SQL language with additional functionality, migrated other desktop applications into the platform, and delivered roughly 90% of the work. The engagement used Team Foundation Server for collaboration and has been ongoing since 2001.

Project Outcome

  • Scalability: Eleks can rapidly provide new technologies and resources
  • Partnership-oriented collaboration with proactive ideas and high personal investment
  • Consistent top-notch talent with long-term team continuity driving company growth
