metaLAB Ltd is an established, ethically grounded, commercial research and development (R &D) company with practical experience in:
- all aspects of ICT-related technical evaluation;
- development of corporate strategy and public policy;
- programme co-ordination; project management;
- project assurance;
- business development;
- product and service creation.
We provide clients in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors with clear insights into the alternative futures that could be on their horizon – and how to choose between them. metaLAB is used to building and co-coordinating local partnerships that can take on the delivery and operation.
We can cover the whole development lifecycle:
- research,
- design,
- building,
- operating
leading eventually to a formal transfer of the mature service.
We have found from experience that formal project management – even when linked to agile programming techniques – is an essential part of ensuring that projects come in on time and on budget – with the minimum of hassles for partners and funders along the way.
Wherever possible we favour solutions based on Open Source software and Creative Commons licensed content.
