InkSpot hosts scientific software as services to support research, collaboration and commercialisation by scientists active in any area of science, in any part of the world. InkSpot provides secure hosting for specialised content including data, software, publications and workflows. Scientists can analyse their data, automate common tasks and share some or all of their work. They can record their progress in notebooks and publish their work on-line or conventionally.

They can work entirely in private, collaborate with trusted colleagues or publish openly, as and when they choose. Scientists get access to extensive specialist scientific data and software services at very low cost and without needing to set up and maintain their own systems. They have complete control over what and when to share and with digital signing can establish ownership and authorship priority for publication or patenting.
