You do research. We do IT.
Research IT Solutions (RITS) is a multidisciplinary partner for accelerating the core research process through innovative, reliable, and researcher-centric IT services.
What we do
Guidance & Advice
Consultation and onboarding for researchers and research groups on existing platforms. We act as a first line of response for new IT needs.
Innovation
When researchers need platforms that are not yet offered, we step in to design and build researcher-centric solutions from scratch.
Support & Maintenance
We take care of hosting, security, and future developments — so you can focus entirely on your research.
How we work
From intake to production, we work together step by step. No surprises, no lock-in — at every phase, you decide whether to continue.
1. Intake
We map your challenge and propose a solution design. No costs involved.
2. Proof of Concept
We validate requirements together through close collaboration.
3. Production & Go Live
We deploy in a production-ready state and migrate data together.
4. Support & Maintenance
We keep your environment secure, available, and up to date.
“At UNLOCK, we faced the challenge of integrating complex hardware components from multiple suppliers into a seamless Raman-activated optical tweezer based cell sorting infrastructure. The Research IT team worked extensively to marry these diverse optical systems with a robust software solution, effectively tying the knot between different hardware and software. Their expertise in software development and research data management was instrumental in ensuring smooth communication between components, optimising performance, and enabling advanced functionalities crucial for our research. This collaboration was key to transforming a collection of specialised instruments into an integrated platform that drives scientific discovery. What better metaphor than a wedlock of technology and innovation!!”
