A forward deployed engineer, assigned to your company from diagnosis to upkeep

The term comes from American software vendors: a forward deployed engineer, or FDE, is an engineer sent to the client, who builds and commissions inside the client's systems, alongside its teams. That is how we have worked from the first day, without using the word.

The FDE works inside your systems, and your systems do not change

The engineer connects the chosen software to your mailbox, your files, your accounting and your management software. Nothing they build is proprietary.

The FDE stays after commissioning

At software vendors, the forward deployed engineer leaves once the product is adopted. With us, they stay.

Forward deployed engineers trained at EPFL, in Lausanne

We are two, trained at EPFL. We work on site in French-speaking Switzerland and in France, and by video call anywhere.

The questions we are asked

Is an FDE a consultant?

No. A consultant recommends; an FDE builds and commissions.

Can you place an FDE in our team, by the day?

We invoice no day on time spent.
