Australian childcare software provider.

I imagine an outsider wouldn't equate "childcare software" with "database intensive" but the online reporting childcare services have to do is quite involved [1].

Their online reporting to the government is a separate concern to day-to-day tasks in their childcare service. So childcare software has to do more than just interface with the online reporting interface.

No. I don't know what RDBMS HubWorks use but to my knowledge they run their software with AWS and I think there's better fits to AWS than MSSQL.
