# Software Development in Cambridge Source: https://dijituldevelopments.co.uk/locations/cambridge/ > dijitul builds bespoke software, web applications and integrations for Cambridge businesses, including life sciences companies, university spin-outs and technology firms on the city's science parks. We work remotely from Mansfield, which keeps costs sensible compared with local agency rates, and every project gets a fixed-price quote after a free chat and proper scoping. Cambridge is the centre of what is often called Silicon Fen, one of Europe's best-known clusters of technology and life sciences companies. The University of Cambridge is the engine: its research and its policy of encouraging spin-outs have produced hundreds of companies over the decades. Anglia Ruskin University adds strengths in health, business and creative subjects. The physical clusters are well defined. Cambridge Science Park, founded by Trinity College in 1970, was the first of its kind in the UK. St John's Innovation Centre, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, home to Addenbrooke's Hospital and AstraZeneca's global headquarters, and research campuses such as Granta Park and the Babraham Research Campus to the south of the city all host life sciences and technology businesses. Arm, the chip designer whose architecture runs most of the world's smartphones, is headquartered in Cambridge, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute at Hinxton is one of the world's leading genomics centres. Around those big names sit hundreds of smaller firms: biotech and medtech start-ups, laboratory services, consultancies, and the patent attorneys, accountants and property firms that support them. Software needs in Cambridge are often specialist: - Laboratory data tools such as sample tracking, instrument data capture and results dashboards that complement a LIMS - Secure portals for sharing data with research partners, investors or clinical collaborators - MVPs and pilot products for spin-outs that need to prove a concept quickly - Internal tools for growing companies whose spreadsheets can no longer keep up - Integrations between scientific, finance and HR systems Regulated work needs disciplined engineering, so we build with audit trails, role-based access, versioned data and documented testing. For start-ups we also make sure the code and data belong to you outright, which matters during due diligence. ## Who we build for in Cambridge - Biotech and medtech start-ups - University spin-outs - Laboratory and research services - Software and hardware technology firms - Patent attorneys and IP firms - Science park operators and property firms - Clinical research organisations - Education and training providers ## Pricing Every project gets a fixed-price quote after a free initial chat and a short scoping stage.

Yes. dijitul works remotely with businesses on Cambridge Science Park, the Biomedical Campus, Granta Park and Babraham, and across South Cambridgeshire, Ely, Huntingdon and St Neots. Projects run through video calls and a staging site, with a fixed-price quote after a free chat. ### Can you build tools that work alongside our LIMS? Yes. We build sample tracking, data capture and reporting tools that read from and write to your LIMS through its API or database, rather than replacing it. Data is versioned with a full audit trail, which helps when results need to stand up to regulators or partners. ### Will we own the code for investor due diligence? Yes. With dijitul you own the source code and data at the end of the project. We hand over the repository, documentation and deployment details, and keep third-party licences clearly recorded, so investors and acquirers can see exactly what the company owns.
