Enterprise Features
On-Premise Deployment
Institution and Enterprise plans can run BCILattice entirely within your organisation's infrastructure, no data ever leaves your network.
- BCILattice desktop app, installed on researcher workstations via your existing software distribution system (MDM, SCCM, Ansible)
- BCINexus server, self-hosted community and sync server running on your own hardware or private cloud (Docker image provided)
- PostgreSQL, connect BCILattice to your institutional PostgreSQL server instead of the bundled local instance
- Object storage, use your existing S3-compatible storage (MinIO, Ceph) for session file sync
- Authentication, integrate with your LDAP / Active Directory / SAML 2.0 identity provider
Air-Gapped Deployment
Enterprise deployments support complete air-gap operation, zero external network connectivity required.
- All BCILattice features work with no internet access
- Offline installer bundles Python, PostgreSQL, and all ML libraries
- Model updates and pipeline catalog updates distributed via offline package
- BCINexus server runs entirely on-premise, community features available within your intranet
- Suitable for classified environments, clinical data enclaves, and high-security research facilities

Pricing & Licensing
Enterprise and Institution pricing is custom-quoted based on:
- Number of seats (named users or concurrent sessions)
- Deployment model (cloud vs. on-premise vs. air-gapped)
- Compliance requirements (BAA, DPA, GxP validation pack)
- Contract term (1-year, 2-year, or 3-year, multi-year includes a discount)
- Support tier (standard vs. dedicated contact)
Indicative pricing:
| Tier | Seats | Indicative Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Institution, Small | 10–25 seats | From $8,000/year |
| Institution, Department | 26–100 seats | From $20,000/year |
| Enterprise, Site licence | Campus-wide (seat count per contract) | From $50,000/year |
| Enterprise, Multi-site | All sites (seat count per contract) | Custom quote |
All prices exclude applicable taxes. Academic institutions with research-only use may qualify for additional discounts. See the Academic Program guide.
ROI & Business Case
Typical time savings reported by research institutions adopting BCILattice:
| Activity | Without BCILattice | With BCILattice | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pipeline setup per study | 2–4 weeks (custom scripting) | 1–2 days (visual designer) | ~90% |
| Preprocessing a 20-subject dataset | 3–5 days | 2–4 hours | ~85% |
| Reproducing a previous experiment | Hours–days (scattered scripts) | Minutes (Experiment Hub restore) | ~95% |
| Onboarding a new lab member | 2–4 weeks | 3–5 days | ~75% |
| Generating a results report | 1–2 days (manual figures) | 5 minutes (one click) | ~98% |
For a lab with 10 researchers at an average cost of $80/hour, saving 10 hours per researcher per month yields $96,000/year in recovered productivity, far exceeding the software cost.
