Expertise and know-how in the field of digitalization are offered to organizations developing projects with IT components

Nowadays, the research projects of universities, NGOs and other organizations working in the non-profit domain quite often include IT components. On the other hand, those institutions do not necessarily have the relevant (number of) experts to develop those parts of the projects. Therefore, they have either to hire (more) experts, which can face budget and managerial limitations, moreover the tasks to be accomplished are temporary, or to use an external organization to provide the necessary expertise and know-how.
