Custom software and consulting for research operations.
Not every problem is a product problem. Some institutions need a specific system built to fit their workflows. Others need a clear picture of where their technology is heading before they make any commitments. We do both.
Web system development
We build administrative web systems for research operations teams who have outgrown spreadsheets and SharePoint but don't need a full enterprise platform. Systems built to last — not to be replaced in two years.
Internal tools for managing investigator data, workflows, and institutional records — built to fit your existing processes.
Structured communication environments for committees, working groups, and cross-institutional programs.
Organized, searchable repositories for policies, SOPs, templates, and institutional knowledge.
Form-based and rubric-based evaluation workflows for grant review, trainee assessments, and accreditation cycles.
Relationship management systems tailored for alumni, donor, and faculty engagement programs.
IT consulting & planning
We work with research operations leaders who need an honest outside perspective on their technology — not a vendor trying to sell them a specific platform. Domain expertise in research administration means we understand the problem before we start talking about solutions.
Structured walkthroughs of how your team actually works — not how the org chart says you do — with documented findings and recommendations.
Independent assessment of your current systems, data flows, and integration landscape to identify risk and opportunity.
Multi-year planning documents that connect your operational goals to concrete system investments, sequenced by value and feasibility.
Identifying and eliminating the manual work that accumulates in research administration operations over years of system workarounds.
How we engage
Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation — not a requirements document. We want to understand how your team works, what's breaking down, and what success looks like before we scope a single deliverable.
Custom development projects follow a fixed-scope engagement model with defined milestones and deliverables. Consulting engagements are typically time-boxed to one to four weeks depending on scope. We don't do open-ended retainers.
Our clients are academic medical centers, NCI-designated cancer centers, and research universities. We work well with research administrators, IT directors, and operations leaders who have a specific problem they're ready to address.
