Dedicated working model Forward Deployed Engineering — FDE

Where ready-made solutions fall short, we build together with your team.

We review your business processes together with your team and build a solution for one priority problem. The work starts with a pilot, and we improve it based on usage results until it becomes part of your daily operations.

What is FDE?

A development model in which we move forward by learning how your business really works.

FDE is a development model in which we move forward by learning how your business really works. We define the need together, assess your existing systems and build a usable solution for the problem identified. Depending on the project, we plan the work remotely, on site or as a mix of both.

How it differs from a classic project.

Classic software project

  • Built from a prepared brief
  • The full scope is fixed up front
  • Can stay limited to ready-made packages
  • Ends at delivery

With FDE

  • The need is defined together with the people who run the process
  • Work starts with a pilot for one priority problem
  • The solution is designed around your process and existing systems
  • Development continues based on usage results

What we do

  1. 01

    Needs analysis with your team

    We talk to the employees who run the process to understand how it works today and the problems they face. Together we define the problem to solve and the success criteria.

  2. 02

    A pilot focused on the priority problem

    In the first phase we build a working solution for one clearly scoped problem. The pilot's goal, user group and evaluation method are made clear at the start.

  3. 03

    Company-specific AI and software

    Where ready-made tools are not enough, we build components tailored to the need. AI, interface and automation parts are combined to fit the business process.

  4. 04

    Integration with existing systems

    We plan for the solution to work alongside the tools your business already uses. Data transfer, access permissions and operational responsibilities are defined.

  5. 05

    Testing, training and go-live

    We test the solution with real usage scenarios and train the relevant team. Go-live follows the agreed acceptance criteria and implementation plan.

  6. 06

    Development based on usage results

    After the pilot we evaluate feedback and measurable results. Further development is prioritised by the value it brings to the business.

Who is it for?

Suitable for businesses that use more than one system, have repetitive operational work and a specific need that ready-made tools cannot meet.

What is delivered at the end?

Depending on the project scope, the process analysis, pilot solution, required system connections, usage documentation and the next development plan are delivered.

We plan the way of working remotely, on site or as a mix of both, depending on what the project needs.
The pilot's scope, user group and evaluation method become clear after the needs analysis. We state the timeline and price for that scope in the proposal.
