Placecube Limited is a software and data, development and services business. We specialise in open-source software solutions, and open data and standards. We make it simpler for organisations to create digital services, integrate systems and personalise user experiences.
‘Place’ represents place-based initiatives, and ‘Cube’ reflects our modular approach to building products that can be reused by other clients, so that the public sector never pays twice for the same development.
Placecube is best known for supporting the UK public sector with its Digital Place products, through Software as a Service (SaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS). Through our open knowledge management and collaboration platform. And for providing data benchmarking and analytics tools to the majority of English local authorities through our subsidiary business, Porism.
We partner with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Liferay and OpenText.
Liferay recognised Placecube as its worldwide innovation partner (2021-22). Specifically for our work extending Liferay DXP’s low code capability and the development of a Customer Contact Management module (aka Customer Relationship Management (CRM)).
