The challenge
In the summer of 2022, the client faced a familiar problem: the shortage of experienced data analytics specialists in Sweden was acute, and the competence that was available cost more than the client was willing to pay. An ongoing project needed reinforcement – quickly – and Swedish recruitment channels were not enough.
The solution
Rebtech activated its European network of consulting firms and was quickly able to present two specialists who matched the client's needs: an Oracle Data Integrator expert and a Power BI specialist, both based in nearshore countries. The combination of deep technical expertise and competitive pricing meant the client got what they needed, without compromise.
The journey – four years of growing trust
Rebtech staffs the engagement with an ODI specialist and a Power BI specialist who join an existing project.
The client decides to migrate the entire solution to Snowflake. Rebtech's consultants become key players in the migration, thanks to their domain knowledge and technical breadth. The ODI specialist self-certifies on the new platform alongside the engagement to meet the client's future needs.
When the Power BI specialist goes on parental leave, the client brings in a Rebtech replacement for the full duration. In parallel, a new project requiring an experienced Snowflake architect is launched – again, the client trusts Rebtech to staff the role, this time with a specialist from Romania.
As the consultant returns from parental leave, the product owner moves on to a new internal role – and explicitly asks to bring the Rebtech consultants along to the new department. One of the strongest possible endorsements of the partnership's value.
Results
From two to four specialists
The engagement has grown steadily over four years, keeping pace with the client's growing data ambitions.
From resource to key role
Rebtech's consultants have evolved from staff augmentation to central positions in the client's most important data projects.
Right skills at the right price

Trust that lasts
The partnership continues to grow – most recently when the product owner explicitly brought the entire team along to a new internal department.
The consultants' perspective
“Rebtech's specialists describe the client as an employer with skilled colleagues, interesting solutions and modern technology – an environment where it is meaningful to stay for the long term and grow alongside the client.”
