FDE · Forward Deployed Engineering
fde
Engineers who work inside your team.
What it is
Forward deployed engineers work directly with your team, on site or remotely, to put Shellware software to work on real problems.
Rather than handing over a product and a manual, they learn your workflows and data, build what is needed, and stay until it is running and owned by your people. What they learn in the field goes back to Labs and Wares.
How it works
-
Embed
Engineers join your team, on site or remote.
-
Understand
They learn your workflows, systems and data first.
-
Build
They configure, connect and extend Shellware software to fit.
-
Hand over
Documented, owned by your team, and still supported.
How it fits together
labs
Research and development. New ideas, prototyped and tested.
labs.shellware.ai → Productswares
Software and hardware we design, build and maintain.
wares.shellware.ai → Infrastructureinfra
The foundation. Compute, storage, networks and hardware.
infra.shellware.ai → Operationsops
The running. Monitoring, updates, backups and support, around the clock.
ops.shellware.ai →fde
The people. Engineers who work inside your team.
you are hereLabs finds what is possible. Wares turns it into products. Infra builds the foundation they run on, and Ops keeps it all running. FDE puts it to work inside your organization, and what they learn goes back to Labs.
