RSE units act as knowledge hubs in a network of academic developers within an organisation~\autocite{Elsholz2006}.
Groups of RSEs with tasks spanning the entire organisation necessarily have to offer diverse knowledge.
Obtaining this diversity of knowledge and experience can also be a challenge, but once it has been established it quickly becomes an asset to the organisation.
RSEs in centralised groups are interdisciplinary specialists due to their experience working on diverse topics, \todo{FLO+PMS: should be reformulated, guess: RSEs know diverse research methodologies + general RSE knowledge} as well as overlaps in methodology across disciplines and research software in general.
RSEs in centralised groups are interdisciplinary specialists.
They are interdisciplinary due to their broad experience by working on diverse research topics and their ability to apply a diverse set of research methodoligies.
At the same time they are specialists concerning research software and how it can best improve research.
They are assumed to be able to suggest the most appropriate tools/frameworks and design or architecture patterns for certain research challenges.
Their diversity in skills (languages, frameworks, front/back-end, UX, management) is welcomed, especially for short-term needs in projects.
This will improve the chances of a project being successfully completed in a timely manner.
