RSE units that offer development services at all scales have proven to be a success story at many research institutions and have rapidly grown in size due to the influx of third party funding.
347348
Notable examples \autocite{Katz2019} are \eg{} Manchester~\autocite{Sinclair2022}, Notre-Dame \autocite{NotreDame2025}, Stanford~\autocite{Stanford2025}, Princeton~\autocite{Princeton2025, Cosden2022a}.

Founded in January 2017, the Research Computing department of Princeton University has experienced a tremendous growth from the initial two FTEs to a total of 18 FTEs in the span of five years~\autocite{Cosden2022a}.
351352
This growth is based on a continuous influx of new funded projects once successful projects showcase the additional value of RSE services to researchers.

The University of Manchester Software and Data Science group has successfully established specialised development services within their institution:
355357
The “Mobile Development Service” \autocite{manchester_mobile} team consists of RSEs that focus solely on developing and deploying mobile apps.
356358
Without a central RSE unit to anchor such specialised expertise, it would be difficult to establish such a service.
357359
Also, having this expertise centralised allows for synergies in the deployment procedure for mobile apps:
358360
The RSE unit can create institutional accounts with the app stores and manage the time consuming deployment process including hard-to-setup procedures like code signing.
359361
Besides the technical benefits of this central deployment procedure, the institution will also benefit from the increased visibility and potentially be able to build a brand with its technological output.

The Scientific IT Services of ETH Zurich (SIS) started in 2013 with a handful of members and has (as of March 2024) around 50 members.
363366
In addition to HPC services, the group also offers RSE services in various areas.
364367
These include the development of software applications for RDM, support in the development and improvement of scientific software or the long-term maintenance of software developed in research groups.
365368
In addition, SIS offers services in the areas of data science, machine learning, bioinformatics, trusted compute environments, and training and consulting.
