Founded in January 2017, the Research Computing department of Princeton University has experienced a tremendous growth from the initial two FTEs to a total of 18 FTEs in the span of five years~\autocite{Cosden2022}.
This growth is based on a continuous influx of new funded projects once successful projects showcase the additional value of RSE services to researchers.

[Success Story]
The University of Manchester Software and Data Science group has successfully established specialized development services within their institution:
The "Mobile Development Service" \autocite{manchester_mobile} team consists of RSEs that focus solely on developing and deploying mobile apps.
Without a central RSE department to anchor such specialized expertise, it would probably be infeasible to establish such a service.
Also, having this expertise centralized allows for synergies in the deployment procudure for mobile apps:
The RSE department can create institutional accounts with the app stores and manage the time consuming deployment process including hard-to-setup procedures like code signing.

\subsection{Teaching Services}

A central RSE department can provide or organize training for researchers and decentralized RSEs in an institution.
