Case Study: Highlands and Islands Enterprise achieves secure collaboration for Space Hub Sutherland with Objective Connect from Objective Corporation

How Objective Connect became the digital control room for a complex and innovative space project

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) needed a better way to coordinate document revisions and stakeholder engagement for its Space Hub Sutherland project, a major Scottish space initiative. With email as the only collaboration option across a wide network of external stakeholders, HIE faced communication bottlenecks and risked losing a single source of truth. Objective Corporation provided Objective Connect to support the project.

Objective Connect created a protected virtual workspace for secure external file sharing and collaboration, allowing HIE to track stakeholder engagement and document revisions more effectively. The solution reduced bottlenecks and helped keep information consistent and controlled throughout the project. HIE described the product as “bloody amazing,” highlighting the value it brought to the collaboration process.
