Cairina

Cairina is a biotechnology firm that offers 3D simulation software to optimize cancer treatments. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Biotechnology and Life Science. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Cairina is based in Roanoke, Virginia. Their site is cairinainc.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Cairina, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
