Digital Systems institutions depend on every day.
London Center for Development designs, builds, and operates the digital systems universities and institutions depend on. From UMSxLMS, DigidocHub, and the BrollyHub collaboration ecosystem to bespoke builds, one team, end-to-end, for the life of the system.
01 The flagship
UMSxLMS. The administration and the learning, on one record.
Universities have bought the management system and the learning platform from two different vendors for two decades. UMSxLMS publishes both as one product, one identity, one record, one team to call.
Companion · 02
DigidocHub. The official document, signed and audited, in one workflow.
Stand-alone or attached to UMSxLMS: documents, correspondence, decisions, signatures, and the audit trail behind them, one record, one verification link on every PDF.
02 What we do
Four ways institutions hire us. One team takes the call.
We are deliberately small and deliberately senior. The same engineers who design a system are the ones who ship it, run it, and answer the phone when it matters.
- .01
Software we publish
Long-lived products we own, ship, and support. Sold by subscription, kept on the roadmap.
- .02
Custom software builds
Bespoke systems for institutions that have outgrown off-the-shelf.
- .03
Hosting & operations
Managed hosting and data processing on UK and EU infrastructure we operate ourselves.
- .04
Portals & internal tools
Authenticated surfaces where the real work happens, built with the same care as the public site.
By the numbers
We measure ourselves the way our customers do.

03 The BrollyHub ecosystem
Five apps researchers and educators actually open.
BrollyHub Academia
Verified academic identities, expert discovery, bookings, projects, and payments, under one roof.
Huddle
Live meetings, persistent rooms, webinars, with real-time transcription, AI assistance, and shared files built in.
Shelves
The file system researchers and institutions actually share, with previews, permissions, and live document editing built in.
Brolly AI
The AI that runs across meetings, documents, and shelves, grounded in your institution's own data, with citations that resolve.
Whiteboard
A whiteboard that lives inside the room, drawn together, saved automatically, exported with one click.
We are a systems firm, not an agency. We design the architecture, we ship the platform, we operate the infrastructure, and we are still around in five years to take the call.

Field notes from the build floor.
Why the management system and the learning platform should ship as one product.
