Enterprise Solutions

QCIF’s Enterprise Solutions team provides a comprehensive range of software development and integration services to support research conducted at QCIF’s Member universities, national research institutions and facilities, government departments and corporations, and industry.

QCIF’s Enterprise Solutions team consists of software engineers, business analysts and project management professionals, as well as metadata and system integration specialists.

The team can assist researchers by converting research into Proof of Concept as part of a path towards commercialisation.

The team can rapidly scope and cost client projects and use Agile or blended methodologies to deliver project outcomes that meet expectations of quality, time and budget.

QCIF provides managed hosting of software platforms either on QCIF’s own secure cloud infrastructure or using commercial public cloud infrastructure, while integrating with other institutional systems, including identity management. This provides customers with a managed solution as an alternative to on-premise self-management, or in-cloud self-management, thus reducing customer costs and administration overheads.
