9999
There are at least three aspects to RSE pooling that research institutions can benefit from: funding, diverse knowledge, and support contacts.
100100
The first, pooling of \textbf{funding}, allows organisations to invest in building up institutional knowledge by supporting RSEs to become experts.
101101
A central RSE team on long-term contracts will act as a knowledge hub due to their accumulated experience in and support of several disciplines as well as established contacts within the organisation.

This is comparable to commercial/industry R\&D departments, where key software architects and developers establish a knowledge hub and consult with as many projects as necessary \todo{Does that exist in reality? Isn’t it just that people, on average, stay longer?} [REF].
103-
% side-note: it's also similar to “inhouse consulting” in management\autocite{moscho_inhouse_consulting_2010}. They even formed a national network to raise awareness about the internal consultant role (https://inhouse-consulting.de/).

This is comparable to commercial/industry R\&D departments or so-called inhouse consulting~\autocite{Grima_2011}, where key software architects and developers establish a knowledge hub that can be consulted by project teams as necessary.
104103
Subject matter experts like software architects, database administrators and other tooling specialists are organised centrally and share their knowledge with members of decentralised projects.
105104
It makes economic sense to organise such staff centrally since not every project has a need for a full-time specialist or can afford one over an extended period of time.
106105
Most academic research organisations have established centralised tooling, \eg{} storage or High-Performance-Computing\ (HPC), but only a few consider software development and consultancy a relevant service yet.
