About Cooper Group
Data-driven, human-centered.
Behind every orderly database is a team that understands the pressure around it. Cooper Group began in Madison, Wisconsin, to help people make sense of disjointed database tools and demanding reporting workflows.
Our database experts Madison teams call when access is scattered, SQL is slow, or a dashboard doesn't answer the question in front of them.
Madison roots. National reach.
Our mission
Clear systems give good decisions room to happen.
We help organizations manage secure, centralized databases without needing an army of DBAs. Our certified DBeaver specialists and SQL architects work close to the people who use the data each day.
Transparency shapes our work. You see the recommendation, the trade-off, and the next practical step. Reliability means the workflow still makes sense after the project is handed over.

People behind the work
The database minds behind the solutions.
Our SQL specialists bring different habits to the same table: careful questions, readable queries, and a willingness to teach.
Qtee Halseth
Senior Data Visualization Engineer
Her favorite dashboard has one purpose: helping a busy person spot the right number quickly.
Pensee Wildy

Arismendis Burnsides
Reporting Systems Engineer
His weekend project is a local baseball statistics database built with PostgreSQL.
Kledian Trigrillo
Cloud Database Engineer
A UW-Madison mentor, he explains cloud migrations with diagrams that fit on one whiteboard.
Our history
From a Madison garage to a multi-industry database partner.
The scope grew. The working style stayed close.
2015
A local problem became our starting point
Madison businesses were storing important data across disconnected tools. Our founders began helping teams bring access, queries, and ownership into one clear workflow.
2017
DBeaver became a core specialty
We became official DBeaver integration partners and built repeatable ways to connect mixed database environments without forcing teams into one vendor.
2019
Compliance work expanded our reach
Healthcare and finance clients brought stricter access, audit, and retention needs. Our SQL specialists shaped workflows around those requirements.
2022
Reporting moved closer to the decision
We launched a custom visualization and reporting suite that connects operational databases to Tableau, Power BI, and Metabase teams.
2024
A national client footprint, a local home
More than 100 organizations now work with Cooper Group across healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government, and nonprofit operations.
Working knowledge
Technologies we live and breathe.
Tools matter when they fit the job. We work across established databases, cloud platforms, reporting tools, and scripts so your team can keep the systems it knows.
The right connection is the useful one.

Beyond code: our place in the community.
Technical work gets better when people share what they know. Our team makes time for local learners, nonprofit staff, and the next group of Wisconsin technologists.
Local support is part of the work.
Shared technical knowledge
We sponsor local tech meetups and support the Women in Data Madison chapter. Useful conversations should be easy to find.
Time for Madison nonprofits
Each quarter, our team sets aside time for database health reviews with Madison-area nonprofits that need a clearer starting point.
A door into the field
Our internship program with UW-Madison computer science students puts real query design, documentation, and client communication into practice.
