About
Avance has spent 18 years putting specialist data and technology people inside large organisations. Lyceum Data is what we built when we saw the same HESA problem in every university we worked with.
Avance
Avance Consulting places data and technology specialists in organisations across more than ten countries, with a team of over 700 people.
Working inside universities, we kept meeting the same situation: capable teams spending months reshaping data for HESA by hand, with the work concentrated in a few people. Lyceum Data turns that work into a repeatable process.
We are starting with England and the Office for Students, with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland planned for 2027.
