What is Forward-deployed engineering?

Forward-deployed engineering is a way of delivering software in which the vendor's engineers work directly with the customer's business and technology teams, on the customer's problem, rather than handing over a product to be configured.

How it works.

The engineers learn how the work happens today, connect the systems involved and shape the application while it is in use, adjusting it as the people who rely on it give feedback.

Why it matters.

It shortens the distance between the problem and the people building the answer, which matters most when the problem crosses several systems and teams.

How Corlogic uses it.

At Corlogic, engineers work directly with the business and technology teams closest to the problem. They start with one real operating problem, connect the systems it depends on, build the model around how the business operates and shape the workflows and approvals that move the response forward.

Start with a recurring process that is harder to coordinate than it should be.
